In terms of chance to get in the school, only CIS/GSIS are at the same league. The other 2 are much more easy to get a spot.
But in terms of academic, it depends of your child suitability

今年isf成績係好過cis嘅,仲要年年雙語文憑都有超過/接近70%,係學術方面來計,isf唔會差過任何一間國際學校,但cis能提供更多元更國際嘅體驗。以我嘅理解,今時今日嘅isf,唔會同cis或者gsis分唔同級數。

作者: SISian    時間: 22-10-11 14:13

我嘅意思係只係看重難入程度CIS / GSIS因為篩選原因所以難入
至於級數,我覺得其實普遍香港嘅國際學校間間都差不多,冇話高級低級,只有適唔適合

其實ISF真係唔係國際學校,理念作風都唔似,佢係一間雙語IB私校,我覺得介乎IS同local之間,睇吓家長想要咩野。
我初初都以為係一間”多中文的IS”,但參完小學,發現唔係,因為小朋友本身在IS有得比較就知道,所以参观學校係好重要。
不過如果對中文要求高又唔想入LS,相信ISF都係一個選擇,相對CIS易入,中文要求亦更高。
至於級數呢啲野,自己覺得有就有覺得冇就冇在心中

I have been an ISP parent for 14 years (consecutively to be precise, 10 years with my first kid and 4 years with my second) and can say that the rumour, which for some reasons has been repeated again and again and again is simply not true.

It's actually quite interesting that ISF manages to become a school that is comparable to (not necessarily on par with though) some "old money" elite schools like CIS and GCIS within so short a time. Our elder kid used to attend another elite IS on the Island side. We were happy with the school but there was a problem - our kid refused to speak Chinese and had shown a tendency to think everything Western by default is superior. We wanted our kids to be truly open-minded and be able to speak and write both English and Chinese at native level (I strongly think it is such a waste to grow up in HK without mastering the two languages), and we looked around.  We had a meeting with Shirley Lee, the then Head of ISF and were convinced. Although ISF was very new and had no track record, we decided to give it a try. Why not? After all there are so many good schools in this world and we can always make another switch if things went wrong with ISF (actually our kid was still on CIS's wait list). For reasons I can't understand, our decision to leave the other elite IS triggered a wave of "concerns" or even criticisms from other parents. They came to us and asked why, are you mad, and challenged us with ideas like it is impossible to achieve real native proficiency in two languages, ISF is too "Chur", it has no track record, the admin is bad, blablabla. Looking back, with respect, it seems to me that their concerns were associated with panic and insecurity. They fear that their kids might be left behind if other kids are able to become excellent at both English and Chinese, they fear that they have made the wrong choices ...

The switch to ISF is a good move, I can proudly announce.

cis嘅校園文化更加多元、更加國際化,包容性更強。isf相比趨保守,但又完全唔可以話好似local果D。

課程設計差別主要就係中文,其它分別唔大,但聽聞中學科目會比isf豐富,等學生有更多機會搵到自己擅長或有興趣嘅科目同方向。老師質素好睇彩數,isf中文勁過cis好多之餘,其它科目成績亦都唔輸賒。

cis嘅社區、家校聯繫緊密過isf,比較傳統 is感覺,家長有更多機會參與到學校同小朋友的互動成長。

如果認為國際學校應該得主力教英文一種模式,或者覺得中文多、中文勁就唔夠國際化,應該唔適合去讀isf。但就算cis都強調自己係東西方文化嘅橋樑,希望培養出中英文皆佳嘅小朋友。

ISF Chinese curriculum is extremely tough and some may say unnecessarily so! There are not many schools, let alone IS, that run equally demanding Chinese curriculum that makes lateral transfer to ISF feasible. If you want your kid to be mainland level proficient in spoken and written mandarin since primary, ISF is probably the only choice.
Another key reason why students may eventually want to switch to CIS, GSIS and HKIS in more senior years is that these last 3 schools are much more established and have better channels to place students in the Ivy leagues. Despite the IB results of ISF/CIS/GSIS being quite similar, you stand a much better chance of getting into Ivy Leagues with CIS HKIS and GSIS. That said, with the US universities now running policies that are restrictive in terms of taking in students from China/HK and this situation is unlikely to ease in the foreseeable future, query the decision to bank on Ivy league admissions unless you're a US passport holder.


There are also key differences in the characters of students from CIS/HKIS/ISF and GSIS. GSIS students are generally the most academically oriented. HKIS/CIS students especially those from senior years are more loud and brash whereas ISF students are generally more modest and reserved. You notice that behavior especially at places like the AMC where you normally see congregations of these students and they behave very differently. Good and bad, depends on how you want your kid grow up to be. As a joke, if you are a Huawei user, ISF. If you are an Apple supporter, CIS and HKIS, both being very American styled institutions. GSIS for the academically strongest and has an European incline.

本帖最後由 964000 於 23-10-3 15:26 編輯

Part of the reason is due to the different requirements if you target UK vs US top unies. For UK you just need to focus in academic and maybe one or two related ECA.
For US you need to be really all round in sports, charities, leadership etc and being presentable, which are not the strengths of HK LS students.
If you have only 24 hr a day, you need to decide which way to go and how to allocate your time. My friends in US who target Ivies are all spending a lot of time in sports and charities, science projects etc rather than just attending tutorials and academics.

It only mentions English A and B, but neither A nor B is mentioned about Chinese.
As 70% are bilingual graduates, therefore either English B or Chinese B should be allowed.

根據 Bilingual MYP Cert 的 criteria,我估計攞不到 bilingual cert 的應該是 Chin B。因為其他科目的 eAssessment (如 Science 和 Math)一定是英文,所以 Chin A Eng B 嘅都應該可以拿到 Bilingual Cert 吧。孩子已畢業離校,其實他一直也並沒有認識同學是讀 Eng B 的,同班有是從上海來插班中學的,都是讀 Eng A。當然佢識唔哂全校學生。
