The school was started as Immanuel Lutheran English Middle School in
Kwun Tong,
Kowloon. It was operated by the South Asian Lutheran Evangelical Mission inside a private mansion. Because of its small size, it was eventually decided to phase out the Middle School and start Immanuel Lutheran College in the New Territories. The college was established in 1983. An additional wing was constructed between 1996 and 1997. Computer networks and multi-media projectors have also been installed. There are now two Multimedia Language Centres, two Computer Rooms, one Multimedia Production Centre, and one Multimedia Studio (the WoW Production Studio) in the school. == School mission ==
