My little girl got offers from ISF and Harrow. Which one shall we accept?

I think Harrow will become a leading international school in HK in 10 years' time but right now it's brand new and too far away from where we live.

I heard that ISF's students are truly bilingual but I also heard that the school is not very transparent in terms of exam results and administration/management of the school.

Harrow and ISF can't be more different. The former follows the traditional English national curriculum and the latter is an IB school following MYP and DP curriculum with special emphasis on Chinese culture and the US syllabus (all senior students are expected to take SAT/ACL as well). That's why the ISF is generally more favoured by returnees from the US and those who care about Chinese culture, whilst Harrow is favoured by those who want to follow the AL route.

I also think that the levels of transparency in ISF is very low. I attended its school tour and the vice principal tried to avoid a simple question of how many applications they received for P1.

As a parent, I actually thought ISF's transparency has been decent. The principal gave a state of the school presentation to any interested parents and it has fairly detailed information on plans of the school, new hirings, financial information, tuition, curriculum, .... I don't have any basis to compare with other IS though. As for what you would consider a simple question, the answer is simple and just a number. But have you considered the ramifications of giving that number out? How many schools actually give out their number of applicants?

今日佳句: 我以往也以為國際板的家長也有質素，但現在才知deal with 一些麻煩家長也不易！

With all due respect! I did visit RC and ICS and they did reply immediately the number of applicants. For ESF, it is pretty open. My educated guess! the numbers might not be 100% accurate but quite close. Just want ISF to be more open in this respect.
