any comments on ICS?

pppwong

I notice there are quite a lot of discussions on CAIS and RC here, but very few on ICS (International Christian School). From my very preliminary desktop research, I think ICS looks quite similar to CAIS and in terms of school environment, RC and ICS are quite close to each other.

Are there any parents who can share more about the quality of schooling in ICS? How would you regard the school culture and the learning environment there? Would love to hear some feedback! Thank you!!

宗教氣氛極濃，美制，學術要求高(中文稍微淺，不過針無兩頭利)，校風純樸，一般家庭都系中產，公務員，醫生 ...

Thank you! Academically, is it comparable to other top international schools?

Thank you for such a detailed reply! To give you some background, I
actually started this post because I was talking to an Ivy League graduate,
who mentioned that she has been seeing graduates from ICS entering Ivy
League unis. To be honest, I have always thought that ICS was not in that
league because there were so few discussions both here and among my friends
(although of course, I am not very familiar with international schooling
either).  I also think that one of the reasons may be due to its location -
but CAIS and RC, both of which are not in excellent locations just like
ICS, seem to be warmly welcomed by parents alike. This sparks my interest
to investigate this school further.  There were not much information on its
website though, and I still have to dig deeper! I will call the school
later to check on the Fall Festival!

Thank you everyone for your generous sharing. Would some of you happen to know the number of students they admit for R1 and Pre-G1 respectively? More specifically, I'm trying to see how much chance do I stand to enter their primary school if I don't go through their kindergarten first. Practically speaking, the school is currently a bit far for my kid to travel in kindergarten years. I may consider moving nearer to the Shek Mun area later on for his primary school studies. Thank you!

60 for R1 and 75 for pre-grade 1.

Thank you! So it looks like I should really start from reception
