非基督教家庭讀ICS

chocotung

今年要幫仔仔報各大國際學校K1/R1, 想問下各位ICS家長，如果家庭非基督教，入讀ICS後會唔會覺得好格格不入？她們的網頁畀我感覺好RELIGIOUS, 去過SCHOOL TOUR, 開始前都要祈禱....

我們不是反基督教，但對各宗教也open-minded, 希望仔仔會有critical thinking, 大個自己選擇信/唔信/信乜, 認為聖經都可以被質疑...

想知多D因為報名費都不便宜, 會報好幾間IS 所以想收窄範圍....

TIA !

Better not to choose ICS for your kid. When they are in elementary their textbook is Bible (with related tests and dictations)

Most of the families are Christians~overheard only the children from Christian families will receive an offer.

Catholic, Buddhism and non-Christians can have offers. It is only the Bible-centered teaching that parents really ok.

Hi,

Christian school adopting christian beliefs for education is no brainer. As an ICS parent, I recognize some students’ family non-believers. Yes, bible classes or camps to talk about Christian faith but not forceful.  
The question is whether you want or at least is willing to put your kid in such an education environment.  If you think Christian education can build you kid’s character (which in a sense is more important than academics!）
God bless!

Critical thinking，認為聖經都可以被質疑 — 呢間真係未必適合你。

不過始終家庭背景和教育還是最重要，看桌林也是讀ICS, 反叛還是反叛。

Apart from the location ( we r living in HKI), the application form is indeed a demanding one which requires a lot of your thoughts about the school and how ICS aligns with your thoughts about education and so on.  I find it quite difficult and maybe it’s because I don’t really agree to what they advocate.  :)

Then you know what you wish.
如果你喜歡一間學校, 佢張申請表幾煩都填.
BTW, We live on HKI.

U r right.... what I’m struggling is what I don’t like doesn’t mean it is not good for my kid ...so I guess I will spend some time this weekend to complete the form...nicely :)
