I think it may be unfair (and dangerous!) to say one school is better than the other. Unless someone puts one child in ESF & one in KCIS at the same time, it is hard to make an unbiased judgement.
Same as popolung, before I put my daughter in KCIS, she was in an "International Class" of a local kindergarten. Although she was taught by native English/Mandarin teachers, I can firmly say that was absolutely "local" because of the curriculum/assessment system/homework...
Back to the topic question, i.e. "ESF vs KCIS", my choice was KCIS two years ago & I have no regret too because 1) I wanted my daughter to learn more Chinese/Mandarin (more than that of ESF) in an international school setting; 2) KCIS is a through-train school and I am a play safe person; 3) ESF primary was not my target school. (**I only applied RCHK for my daughter this year.)
Some of my daughter's classmates will go to QBS but I don't think many KCIS students target on it. For me, it's also interesting to know some of the KCS (main stream) students will be going to SIS, CIS.....
So I guess parents choose KCS/KCIS because they are attracted by the emphasis on Chinese/Mandarin.
After reading the thread, I was tempted to do a little research on "What is an international school???".

There are also some discussions regarding ESF & KCS or KCIS.
