Perhaps EDB's definition is more on whether the school follow local curriculum. If not, they are all treated as international school, no matter they are subsidized ESF / LPC or PIS like RC / DC or those follow curriculum of other country like JIS SIS CDNIS. So there is no such school as real IS or not.

新手媽媽想問咁多Is點解Rc咁受歡迎

I once asked a similar question here ... Given that Renaissance College and Discovery College are so alike, both are PIS under the ESF umbrella following very similar curriculum, how come we see so much discussion and interest in this forum regarding RC but hardly any mentioning of DC? The answer can be summarized in a single word, demographics.

People who attend DC are likely to be living in Disco Bay and they probably won't participate in a predominantly Chinese forum like this one, hence we don't see a lot of discussion regarding DC here. In short, a school might appear popular (or unpopular) depending on which particular group of people one asks.

RC becomes popular perhaps because:

1.  it is more affordable to HK middle class parents.

2. It teaches traditional Chinese and Putonghua almost everyday.

3. It's a through train IB school that offers PYP, MYP and IBDP.

4. It's under the ESF umbrella but also admits a lot of students other than those from ESF kindi.

5. It's interview is selective where all people can apply. It doesn't use the Cat 1/2 system as in other ESF schools.

6.  Comments on its international faculty, parent community, student mix, facility are quite positive so far.  The IBDP results, thou still lagging behind SJS KGV, the trend is going up, that keeps it at the mid stream.

Of course. RC posts in this forum are 10 times more than CIS, GSIS, HKIS combined. Nobody in their right mind would think RC is more popular than CIS, GSIS, HKIS combined.

Yes, I think it's really the participant demographic here in this forum.
You probably don't see lots of discussions here about other ESF schools on the HK Island, such as the Peak School, Glenealy..., but that doesn't mean these ESF schools are not as good/ sought after for in HK.

My understanding is also that RC has an agreement with the government to reserve not less than 70% of its placements for the locals.

It is not a special agreement with the government. All PIS, ESF or not, have to have 70% HK residents.

Oh thanks for clarifying this!

When you say PIS, does this include ESF schools (non-PIS) and international schools like Harrow, American IS, CDNIS, Singapore IS..?

Are PIS in HK such as VSA, ISF, HKIS?
What about PLK-CKY, is this more a DSS?

Please advise. Thanks in advance!

No, PIS does not include ESF-subsidized, Harrow, AIS, CDNIS, SIS, CIS, GSIS, HKIS..... These are traditional IS in the strictest sense.
CKY is a PIS, and all PIS, VSA/ISF included, has a 70% HK residents rule.

Again, use this strict sense of IS in this forum is inappropriate. Some PIS like ISF/RC/DC/CKY they run "exclusively" non local curriculum so they should be discussed here instead of 小學雜談 or 初中教育

Personally, I think it is pointless to debate what is an IS and which one is real. For schools that do not offer DSE, they should all be called non-traditional schools with the understanding that it is a broad spectrum. Branding some as real, implying that others are fake, will just poison the discussion and make it unnecessarily contentious.

As for the popularity of RC, I actually think it is very easy to understand. Many parents, especially those who have experienced traditional schools themselves, want a non-traditional education for their children that is not based on rote learning, drills and remedial classes outside of school. At the same time, many do not want to give up Chinese as a language either. So those schools that offer non-traditional education with Chinese have all become extremely popular.

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！

Except Harrow, DBIS and Kellet, I think pretty much all IS in HK nowadays take Chinese seriously, using mainland textbooks for Chinese high-flyers. Even those came from local schools are suitably challenged.
