I personally think the staff and teachers at this school are very questionable regarding their qualifications, and standards. ISF gained lots of reputation in the first year because her Shirley, the excellent princinpal. However, this year, as I heard, due to her personal health problems, she is often not there.
I also don't like that there is no way to measure or find out how the secondary school students now compare to the "international " standards. Curriculum is very unclear, no track record, and teachers keep changing, and always asking for alot of money to keep expanding the school's facilities. Too little students to give full coverage of afterschool activities.
it's a school that is "developing".
Has families who are more wealthy, and hence, seems like a "better" school because their fees are tremendously high. Campus is very new, with nice facilities.
However, academic wise, discipline, and standards of achievements by students.... highly questionable and rather disapppointing.
It's a "trying" school. Not there yet.
Just my personal opinion.

I hearsay that the school is originally founded by ppl with background from financial industry. They are the ppl with visions in the development of HK education. So they originally recruited teachers referring from the friends. Their visions are bright and sound, but they are not ppl who have experiences in education.......

Thanks. Anymore comments? What I heard the competition is very high of this year.
作者: Pianokc 時間: 09-5-27 02:23
Of course competition is high, the tendency of many parents in HK to choose what is a 'good" school in HK is, "is it expensive?" If it is, it must be good.
Totally HK cultured targeted.
Just my opinion.

Also heard that they have failed their IB authorisation. Not sure if you consider this an important criteria. You can check with the school for confirmation.
作者: Pianokc 時間: 09-5-27 10:48
Really WYmom?
When I went for the parent's orientation, I kept asking the vice principal... "what if you don't get the IB authorization? " and "how do we know our child will be comparable internationally with the academic standards..... etc"
Her reply was what made me decide NOT to send my child there. She just kept repeating " TRUST me. We will get it (the IB certification). TRUST me."
Would be terrible if they didn't, because the school's whole curriculum was already very "wishy washy", and no graduates' track record, and the school is an IB Candidate school only. Still waiting for approval.
I hope this is not true for their students' sake. Maybe NOT yet approved, but not failed?

I read this from some previous topics of ISF, find one of these here:
http://forum.edu-kingdom.com/viewthread.php?tid=1673433&extra=page%3D5
If I remember correctly, ISF failed because of their language policies... they use mandarin mainly in lower primaries and switch to English gradually...
For IBO authorised schools, can check from ibo website.
作者: almom 時間: 09-5-27 11:30
Pianokc,
The parent orientation you went was probably a long time ago. Yes, it was a confirmed "fail" earlier this year.
I think IBO has strict criteria regarding the langauge a school uses. You need to have (or choose) one language to be a "first language" within the school.
If you look at the language environment in the IB schools in Hong Kong, you will note that all of them have chosen English to be the main language of use. Of course, an IB school does not have to be necessarily an English school, but the essense is that, there must be one main language that is used throughout the school.
ISF have designed their own language model that move from Chinese to English, ie 70% Chinese in primary and gradually moving to 70% English in secondary, hoping that their students can be good at both.
I do not want to discuss whether this kind of "ideal" model is going to work but this kind of model definitely does not meet the criteria of IBO.
Whether IB approval can be obtained may be really no big deal, since I am sure there must be other better curriculum. And I am sure many parents do not care about this anyway.
But what I am surprised is that, if the school has always been so keen on the IB curriculum (being an IB school candidate was indeed one of their marketing points, and they used to speak highly of IB curriculum to parents), then with the money and brains they have, why the ISF management has not hired the right and qualified person to bring the school on the right track of getting IB approval.
If they have done their due diligence, and are still keen on keeping their own language model, they probably would not have to waste all the money and time used to go through the process of applying for IB approval.

聽講 ISF 未能通過 IBO 認証的另一個原因係學校唔準學生在校內講廣東話，但係 IB 學校係唔可以壓制母語。如果係既話，即係所有 IB 學校都要準許學生係學校用廣東話？

This seems to be a "reason" spread around.
In Hong Kong, not all international schools students are native English speakers. English may not be their mother tongue.
As an example, I know that most ESF schools have the rules that only English is allowed at school. Now, English is obviously not French or German students' first language and they are forced to use only English. Yet, ESF are still IB schools.
So why can ESF do it, but not ISF?
I believe ISF need some better excuses.

not interested in getting in the middle of this "attack" between wisekid2007 and thankful.
To continue this topic:
1) I don't believe not allowing speaking Cantonese or not contribute to IB failure. Many other schools are in the same condition, but have successfully passed IB candidacy.
2) The orientation and interview my daughter went was in January 2009.
At that time, I was NOT impressed at all, and thought the whole orientation attitude was very poor from the school. The attitude was, "you are here to beg us take your child, so if you want to ask questions, you may write it on a piece of paper." For 1 hour, we listened to the vice-principal read off our pieces of paper. And NEVER really giving us an answer to our satisfaction, always says "TRUST us."
3) IB- without IB, I would have FURTHER doubts what kind of wishy washy, middle of the road curriculum they would come up with ?
4) They DID hire a IB candidacy expert ... his name, I forgot, John something... something like he was very experienced in helping schools get the IB certification.
I never doubted ISF would fail, because I figured, no matter where they fell short, they would always have the money to "fill" it in.
I am very shocked and surprised. I have many students there, I am going to ask and see what's going on now.

Dear all,
I've been to their open day and talked with the parents. They said that the ISF failed the IBO MYP authorization because of their strict language policy. In ISF, English and Putonghua are not only the medium of instruction. Students communicate with each other after the lessons in this two languages.
IBO respect the student's mother tongue. I've been to RC admission information talk. The principal asked the parents to speak their own mother tongue at home. And they wouldn't stop students speaking mother tongue at school.
For those new schools with IB authorization, e.g Victoria, Creative school and RC, their secondary school students esp, new students from other schools are mainly from local families. If there are no strict language policy, the teenages must speak cantonese after the lessons. This is the reality.
I think ISF and IBO is now struggling on this issue.
For the IBO Diploma, I think the students will be more mature and the new secondary students will be immersed in bi-lingual environment for few years. There will be no need to set the strict language policy.
On the other hand, can the existing parents and those unsatisfied ex-parents give more information about this school?

呢個消息我都係在BK收到, 而非經校方發報....
好奇怪點解家長有問題唔直接向校方提問呢? 若然真係問一次問唔到, 就問多幾次, 問多幾個教職員囉...
當然, 上網share, comment, 搵資料係好好. 但都要注意網上的真真假假, 人云亦云, 個人偏見等等...
譬如話ISF因為貴, 所以家長就覺得好, 爭住報---淨係呢點就已經好有問題啦, 你估D家長係白痴咩!?
即使係著名的傳統local school如St. X co-ed, DXS; 或者IS如HKXS, CXS等等, 在親朋戚友之間都聽到一D唔好的comment. 咁係咪就代表呢D學校唔好呢??
要知道, 間間學校都有優點有缺點, 最緊要係邊間適合自己的小孩&符合家長的期望.
熟悉BK的媽咪都應該知道, 呢度某某會員的"嗜好"&"專長"就係撩交嗌! 尤其是關於ISF的話題, 最好避免在BK回應, 否則...... 你都有眼見啦!~
想知多D學校的資料, 參觀多幾次學校, 自己觀察D學生, 同該校的家長/學生傾計, 直接各校長/老師查問! 
* 對於我地黎講, 即使有無IB都無所謂. 因為我囡囡只係小一, 加上佢應該唔會在香港讀中學.

Ha! There are a lot of liars. BK is full of ESF parents. All messages have to be saying good things about ESF. If anyone say bad things about ESF, the ALL come out to fight. But at the same time, they ALL help stepping on other schools. The worst thing is they have A LOT OF DIFFERENT login names. And they use different names to ask and answer. And make it look like everyone supports ESF and everyone does not like other school. But when you think, don't you think it is strange? Look at other topics and there are actually NOTHING else good but ESF. There is no negative comments about ESF.

It's not that parents are "crazy" to just go to a school that is "expensive". That is NOT the only reason why ISF is popular among these parents.
However, it is ONE of the reasons... because as one parent told me, it's one way of "filtering" out the "better background" students attending certain school.
And, with the increasing construction, and facilities, more money is needed, and therefore, higher tuition is expected. For the value one gets from the school, there are many schools that offers the same or more, but at about 30% less expensive than ISF per month.

The link that “almom” quoted was a trap. The original author of that link wrote up that headline (“ISF 未能符合IBO要求，最終放棄伸請MYP”) with the intent to spread a rumor, that ISFA has “failed” its application for MYP accreditation. "warrrren" apparently did not pay attention to it when he was replying. But if you read his message carefully, he never confirmed that ISFA had “failed”. Instead, he said and I quote: “IBO reckons that we should not prohibit the use of Cantonese in favour of two foreign languages….This matter has been the centre of discussions between IBO and the school for over 12 months. I have no idea how the issue will be resolved at the end.” (posted in November 2008) This quotation confirms two things. First, "warrrren" had NOT said that ISFA had failed the application. Instead, the matter about the language policy was an issue raised by the IBO in the course of inspecting the school and the issue was being discussed between the school and the IBO administration. Secondly, his message confirmed the fact that the language policy was indeed the crux of the problem between ISFA and IBO, and given that "warrrren" is regarded as a trusted source of information, it effectively rebuts all the “opinions” expressed here that there must be some other untold stories about ISFA’s alleged “failure” to meet the requirement of IBO.
In my latest email exchange with the school administration, they confirmed that ISFA has not failed the MYP accreditation. They also told me that the language was once the crux of disagreement between them and IBO, but that issue is now largely resolved. They expect their MYP to be accredited in the coming academic year.
I fully understand why "warrrren" refuses to engage in discussions here anymore, given the quality of some of the opinions here. I thought twice before doing this myself. This is really just for the information of those who genuinely need it.

I am surprised that news about ISF is in fact provided by non-ISF parents. Almost all people that claimed to have "heard" that ISF failed the IB approval are NOT ISF parents. They seem to know SO MUCH! In particular, may be wisekid can let us know where he got the information and created the topic. Otherwise, we have all the rights to suspect that wisekid has purposely tried to spread all the rumors.

Agree. Int'l school cost at similar price has got proven academic results. For these newly estab. schools, one has to put their " faith" in them, but this is very neutral and personal decision. However, we as parents should be very careful about the quality of the teachers, i.e. are we paying for the facilities or a team of high quality teachers (not just with high qualifications but with proven and experienced teaching experiences) ?
My personal opinions only.

Why should I trust that someone else too?
Mr A said that ISF failed the authorisation.
Mr B said that ISF did not fail.
Both are people we have not met, and are both using web names.
Why should we trust Mr A and not Mr B?
Because what Mr A said is what you want to believe?

Dear Betty
Nice to talk to u of ISF. We had parents interview last week after 2nd stage of assessements test. We also talked with their secondary students, we were deeply impressed of their self-discipine and polite response with fluent english + mandarin. As parents, this is what we want. Coz I am pretty headache of my child homework and workload in his local primary school. I dont know which Grade u willbe applied, for G7 they will be using 30% mandarin and 70% english. We like this school very much, but still waiting their confirmation and heard will have school fee increment for the coming year.
The other parents of Ceclia's kid is studying there and she is very very nice to give me some info. Hope I can tell u somethng more if I got their confirmation

For me I think Mandarin and english are very essential for their future path. 尤其普通話好的話有助中文的文法同作文，起碼打好中文基礎再向英文進發. It sounds good that they will change to Man/Eng 30/70% ratio on G7.

Dear 狄麗絲 and Betty,
I don't mean to let you down, but I need to share some of our first hand information with you both...
My kid is study in ISF right now. My feeling is you are paying quite a big amount of money to buy an excellent language environment for the kid to learn Oral language...Not a structural written one... Most of them can pick up beautiful ascent of speaking both English + Mandarin, but whether they are able to write equally good, I have a doubt about it...They do not have a structural method to teach the grammar, so their writing skill can be quite vary from one another, which is quite depended on their own background....
Quite a lot of good teachers are leaving (almost every years), and the best principle Ms. Shirley Lee is resigned due to her personal health problem (I really wish Shirley can overcome it... we really loved her, and she is one of the reason we still there...she is excellent!!).
I got the same impression when we got the school tour.... beautiful spoken language, innovative school works, positive feedback from student.
In fact the school got lots of excellent teachers, but quite a few of them being upset by the administration (policy change from time to time, poor communication between the teacher and the school, etc...), so they finally decided to leave... and the good teacher are getting less and less... maybe they will hire more good teachers with big money again...
Another big concern to me is the student over there.... sorry to say that quite a bit of them is quite spoiled (maybe just too many rich family are getting there...) , and they do not have the basic discipline in the school, so you will be quite surprise when you attending their assembly, and their school work can be quite a scene...
Their Chinese teaching team is relatively stable, but their English teaching team is changing a lot throughout these few years...
ISF can be a good school around 10 ~ 15 years later (if they have sharpen their direction of teaching after go through all the trial and error...), but whether your child can be benefit when you getting in now, you have to think about it carefully...
We do have a big hope few years ago, but to be honest with you, we are quite disappointed...
If you enjoy to have every birthday party to be in Aberdeen Mariner's Club (I don't know why, but it do happen like this...), ISF for sure is your best choice...

Those who choose to believe that the mother tongue issue never exists need only refer to Re-Authorisaton Report issued by IBO recently (under paragraph entitled "Recommendation - Standard A2"). It seems that there is finally a compromise - IBO will endorse ISF's dual language immersion program, whilst ISF is not going to officially ban the use of Cantonese.

It's good news to tell any parents worry about their IB authorization.
The ISF Academy received its Letter of Authorization to offer the Middle Years Programme (MYP) from the International Baccalaureate (IBO) on November 17, 2009. The ISF Academy now formally joins the IB community as an IB World School. Congratulations go to our parents and students, our MYP Coordinator and teaching faculty, and our leadership team, all of whom have contributed to the development of our unique teaching and learning environment

好怕同人爭拗! 所以同好多家長一樣少發言為妙...
總之, 我地都非常滿意呢間學校!!! :loveliness:

弘立書院獲授權國際文憑組織的中學項目
弘立書院於2009年11月17日收到國際文憑組織正式授權提供國際文憑組織中學項目的致函。這是國際文憑組織中學項目組於兩星期前(11月3至5日)授權探訪的結果。弘立書院現已正式加入了國際文憑社群，成為國際文憑世界學校的一員，這是弘立社群的一項顯著的成就。恭賀弘立全體家長、學生、我們的中學項目協調員及教職員、領導團隊及所有為發展本校獨特的教與學模式而努力的每一位人仕。
未來的重點將是準備於2010年2月的國際文憑大學預科項目的授權探訪。
