Strictly speaking , one cannot compare apple with orange . KCIS is an international school with number of locals capped to a certain ratio and it is a non-profit organization . On the other hand , VSA is a local school with a PIS license . VSA can accept as many locals as they want and it is a profit organization

Hi Littleho

Where do you get the information that VSA is a profit organisation?

I don't know the number of locals is capped at a certain percentage for IS, eg YCIS and Kingston are official IS in teh strictest sense and yet their Chinese/locals student ratio is very high (>70%).

The rule that governs PIS including VSA/CKY/RC/DC etc is >70% HK residents. Not sure how to define HK residents.

The more bizzare a thing is, the less mysterious it proves to be.

VSA is under the private independent school scheme of EDB while KCIS is a conventional private school according to EDB.

KCIS appears in every government documents (that i have seen) which talk about international schools and international education in HK. So KCIS is not just a private school. It is an IS.

My understanding of international schools is a concept rather than a definition as there are different criteria in categorising schools. I was in fact referring to EDB's webpages below previously:
http://applications.edb.gov.hk/schoolsearch/schoolinfo.aspx?langno=1&scrn=132730000223 (KCIS)
http://applications.edb.gov.hk/schoolsearch/schoolinfo.aspx?langno=1&scrn=560138000223 (VSA)

That is the local primary of KC, not the IS. There are two schools.

YCIS is definitely an IS.
I think the main reason a school chose to be PIS because of funding reasons. PIS get funds from the government and has to promise to take >70% local residents.
On the other hand, IS are self funding (except ESF), so no such binding condition.
I suggest parents choose schools according to curriculum rather than legal definition.
For instance, DBS is also offering IBDP which is an international curriculum. CKY is also a lot more "international" than YCIS in terms of culture.

VSA is a PIS, but apart from the funds to build the campus, it does not get any recurring funding from the government.

Funding for campus what I wanted to say.
And because of the funding, schools have restrictions in taking students.

What about IS getting school campus from the government? Does this count as funding?
