CKY is IGCSE and then IB DP

ISF is IB MYP and then IB DP

Student make-up also different. CKY is mostly ethnic Chinese and ISF has some Western and mainland Chinese families.

I think you have to ask yourself what is important to you and your child

If the factor of living location has been neglected, CKY is better than ISF. I have heard lots of reasons why the parents choose ISF for their children is due to their children cannot be admitted by other IS, such as ESFs. I believe there are not many parents would choose ISF as their first priority. It seems that it is not fair to make this comment for those students who are now studying at ISF. I just like to express who I have learnt.

This is funny, a friend of mine did the exact opposite. They wanted to send their child to ISF so that they can learn mandarin but didn't get in. Wind up going to ESF instead.

I do agree that CKY is more selective as there are more applicants given its recognition by local families and lower costs. It is not really relevant to compare ISF and CKY with ESF though. Totally different system. The relevant comparison should be between ISF, CKY, VSA, SIS, CIS, KCIS

HKTHK, Agree with you.

I think... if look at those schools in details, they can be compared by different curriculum and their performance in the average score on IB or IGCSE...

ISF, CIS, VSA : IB
CKY, SIS : IGCSE
KCIS: ?

slamai Your elaboration is a comparison between ISF and IS's rather than with CKY!? 發表於 12-11-22 16:51

I am looking to do a comparison of the two schools as well since my younger child will have to apply in the next few years. I have not attended the information session of CKY and am not in a position to comment. But if you have questions on ISF, I will try to help if I can.

I am sure ISF faces similar issues as well. There are bound to be spoiled and misbehaving children everywhere. Probably best addressed through family teachings? As for turnover of English teachers, ISF faced similar issue before though things have settled down. I think this is natural though since many of these teachers are young and want to rotate to see the world. I have just started to track ISF turnover though probably won't have meaningful results for another couple years.

I like both CKY n ISF! CKY is much cheaper than ISF as I have 4 kids! ISF bilingual system is very strong enough! The students are more smart and confident! It's very impressive when I visited to school tour. Chinese Culture is one of the most important to teaching children! It's never seen in other schools.
Compare with location, I think CKY is better. CKY is much more bigger than ISF. ISF will postpone to build swimming pool.

however my kid failed to CKY. However, she got 2nd interview from ISF!

any idea if ISF accepts students mostly from international kindergartens? I'm thinking if they emphasize in Chinese Culture, can students from local kindergartens adapt easily?

I don't know the statistics, but there are children from both local and int'l. I don't think it really matters as long as the child know Mandarin and English.
