Through train, IB PYP/MYP/IBDP; managed by ESF which is the biggest IS organization in HK means better resources and experience; traditional Chinese, cheap, good location for those live in East NT; and usually a backup for those also applying ESF primaries.

It is not a must to pay but not buying. The NR which should be 400k guarantee an interview as I know many don't have chance to interview because they pick kids for interview randomly unless you have priority (ESF KG, siblings and teacher staffs' kids).

I think real IS have more than 50% parents are non Cantonese speakers. IS and LS are relative. LS should be most parents are Cantonese speakers.

Yes, the international mix of students. If most (70% or more) are HK Cantonese speaking families, it's more like a hybrid between LS and IS.

How about this list from the Government?

With so many PIS offering IGCSE/IB only curriculum, the demarkation between local PIS and International school is not clear these days. However, I think an IS is an IS because not only their international curriculum, but also their international faculty and students. If we only look for international curriculum and call it an IS, then both Creative and PLKCKY are IS. This "may" stretch the definition of IS too far.

Anyway, I don't think the definition of IS is very important and the term "real" IS is not useful.

In the old days, it is less confusing. See an old education report from the HK government below and excerpt from the report.

Education commission report

4.3 Types of private secondary school.
......
(b) private independent secondary schools are entirely self financed. In September 1987 there were 67 such schools :
42 with bought places in Secondary 1 to 3 and 25 without
bought places; and
(c) "international" schools are schools operated with curricula
designed for the needs of a particular cultural, racial or
linguistic group or for students wishing to pursue their
studies overseas. Some of them have received help from
the Government in the form of favourable land47
grants, some are sponsored by their own governments
and/or communities and some have received assistance from
both quarters. There are 12 such schools at secondary
level.(18)

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

Though this is the official definition but it is true that if foreigner students is the majority, the teachers alone can't affect the children as peer group influence is more important. Imagine that your kid go that an Italian class today for birthday, celebrating Diwali next month and having you kids best friend a Japanese boy invite your kid for his elder sisters Japanese style wedding in Japan next year. Racial difference is the essence for internationalization.....

Celebrating Diwali is pushing your luck as there are typically not that many Indians in popular IS. But agree with you, that is why I said international faculty and student community is also important.

However, if you look at the EDB international school prospectus I gave earlier, even the official list of IS have schools having 40+% local HK and 70+% local + Chinese, eg YC, KCIS. Even the ESF schools in the Kowloon side have a much higher local percentage. Are they more international than say ISF, Discovery college, or Renassence college? I am not sure.

Again, as I said definition is not important and we should include YC, KCIS, DC, RC, ISF, VSA, CKY, Creative in IS discussion as they run non local curriculum.

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