CIS is more organised in administration, as it is a more established school.  
I am not in a good position to comment on other aspects, as my son studied in YC in primary school, but in CIS secondary school only.

He went to half day school of YC's 2 year old class, because it's more economical.  I think full day school is better in language immersion, but half day school is better if you want to arrange other extra-curricular activities for the kid.

CIS vs. YC - absolutely different levels, can't even compare.....

Of course you can compare, their tuition fees are at the same level

Besides reputation, how do you compare school system, principal, admin etc? Do you think that these aspects help in building the school and attracting/retaining good students, and if so, CIS is outstanding in these aspects?

About half of CIS IBDP students started in reception.  Yes, they are excellent kids.

Good points!  The influx of good students and the ability to draw these students has really built the reputations and results of several IS.  It does make one wonder if it is the schools or the students that really matter in the end.

I think this is by far the most accurate picture of YC i have seen on EK. Kinder and primary of YC are both very good, except the less than ideal standard of english which some Ekers mind so.... much (to the extent turning their eyes blind to all other attributes). But the poor secondary went into a self destructive loop, sadly. So you see some best YC primary students go to CIS, for instance.

The schooling in CIS is, i heard, not as mystified as mentioned in EK, but they attracted many good students from IS, and that's all that matters.

Yew Chung is my son's 1st school until he graduated from primary.  He then switched to CIS in secondary.
In my point of view, Yew Chung is a very good school up to primary, especially in nurturing academically most able children, and least able children.  Children can become truly bilingual if they are able to handle 2 languages at a high level. My son never went to tutoring in English and Chinese. However, as most of the children are pure Chinese, they tend to speak Cantonese with each other, and it is less easy to build up a native English accent there. Other that this, their pronunciation of words is native, with much better skills in English reading, writing, speaking and listening as compared with non-IS. Besides language, they train kids in IS ways, teaching them how to research, self-learn, build up reading habits. Least able children get extra attention and tutoring from teachers, they are not discriminated.

The problem with Yew Chung, especially in secondary, is that they cannot keep academically able students. I doubt if the underlying reason is the "reputation". Good students get admitted to other "better " IS. Vacancy is replaced by students transferred from non-IS, may include a proportion of students who didn't study well in local schools. This dilution process continues and accelerates, until in upper secondary only a small proportion of home grown students remain there.

The difference between YC and CIS isn't that big in primary, but the gap widens in secondary.

The biggest asset of CIS is the pool of academically most able students and the educated parents. Just the opposite side of YC, the turn over rate of CIS students is very low as compared to other IS. If a student leaves, the vacancy is replaced by a more able student. The process results in a pool of most ambitious, intelligent, hard-working students in IBDP level, half of them aiming (and most of them achieving) a perfect IB score.

I should say that the biggest asset of CIS is the reputation in HK, so that it can attract the best students and teachers. (Same scenarios as SPCC, DGS, DBS?) The good reputation in US/UK also helps during the university admission process.

Just wonder whose child in this forum really studied in cis and yc?

Mamamu1126
