I think what justifies SIS's value-for-money, among many good attributes, is its bilingual environment. Students could naturally develop native level of spoken English and nearly native level of spoken Putonghua.
I also believe you cannot avoid some necessary degree of drilling through exercises, tests and examinations if you wish to build up a stronger foundation in languages, Math and Science as well.
The amount of homework, tests and exams, according to my observation from my 3 kids, is just right. Just that I think the Chinese language level is a bit too high / too demanding as far as an IS student is concerned.
And most important of all, they love their school and they love going to school. The standard and the demand are high; yet, it won't destroy their love to the school and their interest in pursuing knowledge. Given its high demand in students' intellectual capabilities, I believe it may not suit all types of children, and the best timing to join the school is from PY1 so that they could get adapted to the bilinual teaching right beginning from the starting point.
Final words - the best way to understand a school is through visits, talking to the students and watching their behaviors.
