Re: aaicswong. HKIS is actually very strong in its academics, every year, they can send their top students to very top universities overseas, but its only small portion of the entire student population. That said, you gotta be 'who's who in HK" to go to HKIS, so they have a very big group of students who are very 'hea" in terms of academics but has lots of resources. So depends on how you look at it!
Re: Chinese learning. If you want exceptionally strong chinese, SIS is your best bet, but among all IS, its most like a local school than an international school, and your kid will ended up really love Singapore :) Re: CIS. Friend of mine interviewed for reception at CIS and the CIS admission person showcased to them two students, who speak fluent mandarin and english, and said "1/3 of their students can achieve this level of fluency upon graduation". What she is really saying is that, yes, there are students who ended up like that but its NOT just a result of the school, but their parents and family!! What CIS does is not that much different from other IS, just that their families place a much bigger emphasis on their chinese learning outside of school and have the resources to support that.
Re: luplup. Yeap, ICS is much stronger in arts than sciences. A lot of it have to do with the quality of the science teachers in high school, which might change in the future. and yes, I agree, all ICS kids receive some sort of tutoring in chinese outside of school. Its almost a given if you care about chinese language learning.
Re: family background. Back in the old days, ICS was very grassroot!!!! But with the new campus and all that, it has already received much more attention from more affluent families. That said, because of its location and christian background, its still considered somewhat "niche" in the market and not attracting the "who's who in HK" yet. I know some quite affluent families, who send their kids to ICS because they are also very God loving families who want a christian education for their children. Meanwhile, a lot of other families I know are middle class (many are middle class with single income though), and a good number of missionary families (because ICS do give preference in financial aid to missionary workers). What I find interesting is that many of the affluent families have children in lower forms (after the new building was built), and many of those more "grassroot" families with their first children in upperforms...
