如果不是基督徒，大家覺得ICS 既可取地方

我老公同我都唔係基督徒，但我地覺得小朋友如果入讀後，將來小朋友做左基督徒都無咩問題，想聽聽大家意見，ICS有什麼優勝之處？學生會離開學校以外上堂嗎？有中學黎方面我清楚既，有機會入到好大學嗎？Thanks!

Wanna to ask advice from existing parents peers. My daughter has offer from ics r1. We love ics good moral value.

She is the one who  loves fun learning. Do you think the learning environment at kinder is also fun? I visited there before, but may not know much than existing parents. We are thinking esf offer or this one. But esf one without better moral sharing. But go in ics, afraid of being ask to find another school at r2 if my kid is too active...

香港好多好的學校都有教會背景的...是優點不是缺點

不止是教會背景，聖經佔課程的重要位置，聖經是必修科直至畢業，部分課程也會從聖經角度教，例如創造論vs 進化論。由於是美國學制，所以小時貨幣亦會學美金，度量衡也會學呎吋磅安士，初中體育堂要完成mile run，樂器（ string or band ) 、唱歌、戲劇也是必修科。

The chance of getting in P1 is NOT zero, as my fd and my child applied P1 withput studying in the kinder. But i wanna say, my hubby and I spent two years talking to the admissions and only finally got the very last interview opportunity in May. The very last batch.  Therefore, dont give up.

如果不是基督徒 ICS 是一間很普通的國際學校。小孩在沒有父母幫助下學習聖經，要明白是非常困難的事情。ICS 有很多活動給學生和家長參與，所以校外活動應該很豐富。考大學要看小孩自己本事不用參考了。

ICS is a great school with caring teachers! Students are well behaved and have many chances to practise to serve the community e.g. beach cleansing day, moon cake sharing day....... For academic performance, you can refer to the official websites. University placement is quite good and most importantly, students learn many important values e.g love, sharing, caring.....

Hi did you get the offer from ICS for EC1? We are going to attend the interview on mid of Jan, do you have any tips to share? Thank you so much.

Both la. Since they have only 15-20 seats for pregrade 1, even if you are invited to interview, the chance of getting an offer is very slim. At my son’s interview day, I noticed that most candidates can speak native English +/- Mandarin.

if you don’t go to R1, the chance of getting in at PG1 is almost zero.

I think the ICS parents can give a better answer. I do not have the luck to be one.

Thanks for the sharing indeed! For me, moral values and character are important and need to be built early on. I feel that an Christian education should emphasize these. So u feel that the ICS kindy has a good culture on discipline ? Are the teachers caring?

We r not fr Christian background and my child is currently in ICS kindergarten. We do not mind our children to learn abt bible, Christianity as we feel they still have the right to choose what religion to believe in when they grow up. Yes, religion could be one of your concerns, but there are other aspects which you should consider too when you are choosing a school. In fact, discipline and culture are also very important. And I am very happy to see my child developing in these aspects. Strong language and family bond are much encouraged.

Super difficult, the best result I heard is a waitlist place only.

I thought you applied RC1, heard that PG1 is hard to get in. Is that true?

Do you mean K1? I applied Pregrade 1, not K1.
