We just got an offer from HKIS (G5). During the assessment, when we went to campus, it seems there aren't many residence places nearby. Can anyone attending HKIS recommend some nearby apartments for rental? Thanks!

Many families live in Repulse Bay, Tai Tam and Stanley, even further to Central or other southern areas. They offer school bus so it’s not necessary live very close to school unless you want to walk there.

HKIS uses KC bus. You can check the routes here:

If your kid enrolls in G5, you may want to take into account that starting from G6, he/she will move to the Tai Tam campus.

All over HK , schoolbus system in HK is amazing, but it’s easier to arrange play dates if you live closer.

Thank you! Yes, I considered that. I just checked the places near the school campus, they are all so expensive. A parent suggested living in Taikooshing, which is quite convenient, and relatively not so far away. (students living there board the bus at around 7 am)

Thank you! Do you know if the students tend to speak Cantonese or English in their free time at school? We are a mainland China family, and don't know Cantonese.

Good to know. Thank you! Though we still hope to learn more Cantonese so that the kids could communicate with local kids.

Do you know roughly what percentage of kids are from mainland China? I know language is not a barrier (since all speak English), but I think students still tend to gather with people from similar backgrounds. Thanks!

From my experience, the kids did not gather by backgrounds. It’s hard to say by % coz some might have both parents from mainland or one of the parents from mainland.

Children often form close relationships based on shared interests and personalities rather than family ties. HKIS is highly diverse and provides a great learning environment for students' SEL development. I can share that the school's annual report includes detailed information on students' citizenship, such as the fact that mainland China passport holders made up 4% of the student body last year.

Thank you! Attaching importance to SEL and diversity is great! This is reassuring to know.
Do you know if middle school & high school students mostly still take the school bus, or through private drop-off/pickup? Is there a lot of traffic jam in the middle school area? I know school bus is mandatory for primary students.

The school offers many bus routes for middle and high school students. Private car pick-up and drop-off can be challenging due to parking and traffic jams. I'm not sure if I can provide the answers you need. Answering your questions about extracurricular activities, schedules, and home location is difficult since they are very personal in nature. :)
