They haven't announce the 2nd interview date. They said they will try to complete it by 31/1/2013.
Hope your kid will have 2nd interview offer too!

May I know when u received second in notice and when was your interview?

Oh I didn't received any news too! As what my son told me the assessment was q comprehensive. But he said he answered in Cantonese and for some questions he couldn't answer. He even said he was required to write both Chinese and English names everytime he entered a new classroom. Anyway I'm proud of the kids. Not easy at all...

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.

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?

Is swimming pool postponed?  I thought completion by summer of 2014?

Maldives

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!

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.
