I actually don't know but most my kids's classmate will not move out.
Some points you need to consider:
1/ It may be difficult to enroll into the grade one as the vacancy is limited. (I think only)
2/ Foundation Year program actually provides a bridging program for the kid to get connection to the primary program smoothly. I witness a foreigner's child speak out Mandarin. ISF can change a foreigner's child to adapt its program.
3/ If you let your child to ISF for the coming 12 yrs, why don't you let him start the foundation year program  and pay one more year school fee? One yr ago, My plan is to let my kid study FY first, if the feeling is no good, back to primary one in local school. Now, I do not plan to move my child out. I think it is worthwhile to study isf at foundation year .

I happened to see this thread http://forum.edu-kingdom.com/viewthread.php?tid=2115323&extra=&page=1 where you made a comment that ISF was NOT a good choice.  This is exactly the opposite of what you said below.  Not only this one, but I also saw some other negative comments on ISF you previously made.  May I know what made you change your mind in a year, from being so negative to sending your kids to ISF eventually?

Elmostoney,
If financial issue is not a problem, ISF is a good choice. My child is studying in FY and my younger kid will also admitted to FY in coming August too

hi liyinfai,

Do you have 2 kids?  Why do you let your elder one studying in ISF and the younger one studying in local school (St Peter)?  Please share.

The detail from my previous post was:

"I think ISF is not a good choice.
I did a lot of comparison among ISF, VSA, and RC and all other international school already.
My comment on ISF is:
1/ a LOCAL Chinese private through-trained school.
2/ IB program: FAILED
You consider whether apply or not."


The comment dated back at March,2009. At that time, my kid was not studying at ISF yet. Howeve, because I want to try the Foundation Program, if ISF is not good, I will change it back to local school/other int. school. Now, my kid is studying at ISF for 8 months already. We tasted the sweet/bitter of ISF. I think I need to share my own feelings here.

My previous comment was :

"聖彼得小學好不好耶?


聖彼得
小學的家長請幫手介紹下,聖彼得小學點樣啊?升中派位點?派的嘛中學?功課多不多?先生好不好?Sorry for so many questions, 我以加煩更揀邊閒中西區的男女校好?有經驗的家長請介紹下,多謝!"

To Yau-Cheung:
Yes, I get 2 kids. My elder kid is studying ISF now and my younger kid will also go to ISF in the coming August. I also apply St. Peter College for my elder kid in Sept,2009 because I want to set up a safety net for my kid. If he doesnt like ISF finally, I can still get back to local school. St. Peter actually accept my elder kid in Nov,2009 at first stage, so I have a back-up contingency plan.

多謝資料!

PS : 本人認為兄弟姐妹讀唔同種類的學校(IS vs local vs in between)並非好安排。

I think not $2000000
You can pay $200000 only.
One of the other choice
is paying the annual capital levy: about $45000 . After studying in isf for a few months, if you feel good, you can pay the differrence left. That is : $200000 - $45000 ( I hope you understand what I write)

With the completion of the additional floor, there will be two additional classes of 15 each, so 30 additional places.  All the places in the original 8 classes are already taken.

The staff said that ISF only issued very few Capital Notes of $2M face value recently. There is a very long waiting list already. Obviously, there is a huge demand. While you are still thinking whether to buy or not, better fill out a form first and get in the queue.
