過了一晚，覺得在forum講錢，吾係好恰當。畢竟這是開放給所有人討論，吾係圍內傾計。

But 月入30 in ibank is like a VP?  Which is hardly a senior person

VP has a huge income range.

家庭月入大概幾多先可負擔到小孩讀 cis?

1. 睇 http://www.cis.edu.hk/admissions/tuition-costs/index.aspx
2. 跟住打電話去 cis 問有甚麽其他駛費.
3. 之後就自己計自已條數.

負唔負擔得起要睇吓你自己點睇.  有D人用月入10%去比學費都話負擔唔起. 有D人用晒所有錢都話無問題.

至於驚有富2代同學睇低自己, 依D野又係好睇個人嘅. 有D人驚會自卑. 有D人恨不得識多幾個比自己有錢10倍同學. 最重要嘅係富2代第2間學校都會有.  你怎樣處理先係關鍵.

A friend of mine who is a ibanker with over 6m annual income has his two sons study at Esf. They are down to earth.

CIS 的家長多是 bankers 或者 lawyers，有錢都未必入得到。重要填十幾頁的報名問卷...
至於HKIS的debenture要2M，想買都要排waiting list。

就算適合讀CIS, 我覺得家庭收入仍是一個重要的考慮因素。

There are many considerations in choosing a school.  It does not mean anyone earning less than 6M a year should not consider any schools more expensive than ESF, and that they are not "down-to-earth".

一百個人選學校，有一百個理由。

你覺得做的是小朋友best interest，你又吾會後悔就得。無也大不了，鍾意就去考，今年吾收又可以考插班，考左去讀，吾口岩讀咪轉校。不過系間學校，吾好睇到它甘大。

I do not mean they are down to earth because choosing esf. I mean they are down to earth, the whole person. They choose esf simply because it suits them.

Yes, majority of the families are very very rich.  They have no concern about the cost of an overseas summer school of $60-70K.Almost all of the parents are very educated. Only hear English with native accents when any parent raises questions at any forum or information session.  Maybe parents without native accents don't want to ask questions at all! Can easily spot parents around graduated from Oxbridge, Ivy Leaque...
CIS admits some students from "middle class".  My personal opinion is that they want to keep the student profile diversified. Last year, CIS started to introduce scholarship for senior students who " could not otherwise afford a CIS education".  This is an evidence that CIS wants to diversify further the student profile, though they only admit a handful each year.  The students on scholarship are kept confidential so that they won't feel bad about the different family background.
When my kid was at junior primary (at another IS), he asked me why we were living in a flat while most of his classmates were living in houses.  I told him ordinary people in HK live in flats! In recent years, I tell him that with our family background, he should not be studying in CIS, as his parents are not rich, and not graduated from Ivy league or Oxbridge.  But as he was smart enough to be admitted, we wanted to provide him with the best education he can have.

$30K income for a parent or $60K for a family may be a bit tight to pay for CIS school fee + other activity learning (music and sports etc.) for a kid. Do you agree? Another parent mentioned 10% of family income for education. I think using up to 20% of family income for children education is still affordable. Just my personal opinion.

With only 60K family income they can consider local DSS with IB which also provides good education. IS (or even ESF) may be too tight for them.

I think students from local school are possible. Even without scholarship, CIS admits students from local school (usually famous ones), though very limited in no., & they are top students with exceptional English ability.

Is the distribution of "affluence" similar in lower and higher grades?  I would have thought a lot of the very wealthy families would start from reception and then move to boarding schools over time?

amethyst123

Totally agree. I went to their information session and the school interview. I have to say it s a very good school and I don't think they only accept students from $$$ families. My focus is to give best education to my kids so they have more options in the future. Whether we are too ordinary compare with other parents, I really don't care much. schools give your kids all academic knowledge and parents teach kids the 'value'.

My kid joined CIS at year 7, so I have no idea the affluence level of primary. Tend to think there are more middle class in secondary, because CIS admits around 30% more students at year 7, mostly based on academic excellence. Student turnover at secondary is not high, around 5-10% each year.
