Yes, result just released today.
As I know, ISF is very strong in academic, but besides that, can any ISF parents share the following experience to the newcomers like us?
- the after school activities
- math
- sports
- mandarin standard
Million thanks for the helpful Isf parents in advance ..

ISF is a relatively new school, n just took IB exam for about 4 years, wonder if it is sustainable to get gd result? Are those IB students who got average of IB score of 40 were originally from ISF itself?!I do know the gd side about this school, very strong parents involvement and communication, strong academics, etc, but I hv experience talking directly to current students and they said they dun really like some of the teachers teach. Also heard that since 70% mandarin for lower forms which make them memorise a lot of things but relatively weak or less international than other IS. Can anyone share with me the teaching style and students happiness in ISF? Esp memorising Chinese things would damper it's interest in learning Chinese?!Many ppl said YCIS is not gd, but I am currently a parent of YC, and I hv compared to some other IS (kindergarten), YCIS is not bad except the use of Cantonese. But honestly speaking, I hv no confidence in YC secondary and that's why I planned to leave YCIS anyways or early.
Thanks for any comments.

The school did well for 1 year on IB DP results but I won't say it is very strong in academics. Personally, I prefer the school to be less academic and more well-rounded.
ECA: new director for ECA brought in and whole program is being revised. New program starting next academic year. Emphasis on participation and depth meaning anyone can participate on a team if they fulfill the practice requirements. Instead of offering a lot of activities, range would be reduced but popular activities will be offered several times a week.
Math: basically follows HK curriculum. Starting around G3, will start going faster than HK curriculum but things are covered in a different order
Sports: sports, wushu and dance lesson during class time
Mandarin standard: mandarin and English are both playground language. Chinese curriculum follows HK curriculum with some additional things added in.

If secondary school is a concern, some facts to note: past few cohorts if ISF all consisted of only around 20, whilst lower primary now comprise as many as 180 each year. Higher secondary now hardly more than 50 per year as I heard (pls correct if wrong). May still take a number of years before the grad class will finally reach over 100 then the IB results may become more meaningful

Unlike YCIS, ISF is not an IS. Memorization in Chinese is not necessarily a bad thing. That is actually one of the few ways of getting good at Chinese. Expect to memorize about 12 Chinese poems and 三字經 in FY.
作者: Chilax 時間: 15-3-26 11:17
Would like to clarify the focus for FY is pinyin, instead of memorization of actual Chinese characters. The goal is to allow the kids to read books by themselves based on pinyin. Kids will also be introduced to Chinese poems but there is no requirement to memorize them.

Memorization meaning being able to recite the poems. Kids are supposed to recite all the poems and they do it one by one in front of a teacher. Go into each classroom and you will see a chart of who has recited what.

其實你猶疑ISF的地方,並非全無道理,學校可能吾係100%符合你的理想。不過如果無其他offer,和升上去讀YC中學相比,ISF會係一個較好的選擇。
當然你可以讀住YC,以後繼續考插班,或者升中再考心儀學校,但就有uncertainty了。

你有沒有考慮過中學出國讀書?ISF 裡也有不少學生未讀到畢業就出國。如果你是住在九龍,讀 YC 開心,又考慮中學出國,不如不轉?

And answer to some of your questions:
1. Agree with HKTHK, ISF may not be so strong in academics as some perceive. The school doesn't stream the students in elementary. They are doing more to make sure nobody left behind.
2. ISF is NOT an international school AT ALL but a school that emphasise traditional Chinese culture (not modern China, not very local HK...). Hence it does attract some foreign parents who wish to let their kids learn some Chinese and understand some Chinese culture ... and that's it! Guided Discovery covers topics about history of HK etc.
3. ECA. My kid joins the school orchestra and choir, both practice 1 hour after school once a week. Good enough for my kid. Sports, math, dance, chess teams ... as far as I remember.
4. My kid and the friends I know here are quite happy with the school and the teachers. It is understandable that some students dislike Chinese and some dislike Math and I believe it happens in every school. I don't find my kid need to memorise a lot of things. My kid spends more time in musical instruments everyday than in homework. There are 10 classes in each grade level and it is a huge school now. You expect teachers are reasonably strict in discipline.
5. PTA is overall very good, reasonable and going great jobs.
6. Sports activities are sufficient. My kid's grade just finished their inter-class handball tournament. There are 9 classes in the grade, nearly every student played ... so it was a hottest topic for the whole grade for a while.

I got mixed messages from friends with kids in ISF. So just want to know more from ISF parents:
1. I went to school and noticed among those we accompany us, those who are small (grade 3) speak very fluent english with good accent。 Is this the norm if they are home grown from foundation year, even for locals like us? whilst many older students (guess seconday ) at least in terms of spoken englsh, are just like those in local school (guess they are transfer in from local schools)
2. ECA: i heard it is relatively weak. Is is true?
3. Percentage of students with mandarin, cantonese, and english a mother tongue.
Thanks

Glad to hear about the revamp of ECA. Any more info about "participation and depth" you can share? While the others comment about the weakness of ECA, I am not too sure about the perspective we are talking about ... the choices ? quality of coaches ? the performance ?
Take music as an example ... are we targeting to strengthen it in a way so that we can beat local schools in music competitions? Honestly I hope that is not the case, my friends' kids in local elite junior primary need to spend 10 hours a week at school for choir practice in preparing for music festival. I personally find it very scary.

The new Head of ECA gave a talk about the revamp about a month or two ago. Basically it will be the reverse of what happens in an elite local school. ECA will be about participation rather than selectivity or excellence. In Primary school, as long as you are interested in an activity and is willing to practice for 3 times a week, you can be part of the school team. Students will no longer be selected or invited to join a team but rather, it will be about who has an interest. Underpinning all these is the belief that it is more important to build an interest and give kids exposure rather than building skills or excellence at such a young age.
By depth, this means the activities that are popular will run several times a week so that people can have more chances to play. Instead of running 20 different activities once a week, it will be 8 activities but each happening 3 times a week. Practice makes perfect so kids will be able to excel this way and this will also means having a critical mass for competitive school teams in Secondary.

我們也是本地家庭。如 HKTHK 說,fluency of spoken English 是可以達到,而我(或者其他孩子比較大的家長)關心的,相信不再是 spoken English 的 fluency or accent,而是 reading and writing. 正如孩子講廣東話和普通話皆流利,不等於中文成績好。
ISF 要求學生的中文達到本地學校水準,以功課量計,小學三年級每星期的中文功課非常 regular:一次抄詞語,一次抄段落,weekend 寫一篇周記/文章,一次默書(就是默抄了的詞語和段落),和 local school 相比,這已是 minimal 了。中文是難學的,如果中文對你來說不太重要,只要求識講,就不要讓孩子辛苦去學了,讀其他 IS 會更好,可放多了時間在英文上,也輕鬆一點。

So may I know the way teachers teach are more rigid or give room for students to think and understand? The reason I sent my child to IS is because I like the understanding and discussions in class so that students are exposed to critical thinking and presentable. I wonder if ISF teachers teach like local school or like IS?!

ISF has been granted accreditation by the Council of International Schools since 2014, so it is officially an international school. It is only not classified as such according to the HK government's requirements.

I think the school really encourage kids to read and explore by themselves. Even at Foundation year, kids are doing research by themselves (guided by teachers) and writing little books about the animals/insects that they like. I was amazed about how much my son know about cheetah, and he learnt those from the books in he read in the classroom (there is a little library in the classrooms) and other books he borrowed from the school library. So he drew a picture of the cheetah, wrote down the facts in Pinyin and Chinese charaters, which was pretty impressive in my view.
My son is a native Chinese speaker, so he only spends 5-10mins on the reading homework. But for those pure non-Chinese families, I can see Chinese being a big challenge.
作者: Chanccg 時間: 15-5-3 11:41
In my view, it is not a good school as it becomes too commercial. It is very result orientated. It doesn't care about yr child that much unless they are top student.
For example, last year only 2 students from each class got the chance to get their graduation certificate during the so called graduation ceremony, the others hv to sit there, what is the logic of it.
In addition, I heard from other parent that their children got head injured during recess and school just called parent to collect their child. Finally the child had to stay in hospital for a week and had to rest for a month. The worst was that not a single call from schoo to check on their child.
That would be my comment on ISF

We have the same feeling - the school is very results-oriented and seems to put its own interests ahead of their students'. It's all about what benefits you and your kids can bring the school, either in terms of real money or whether you/your kids can help the school to build its reputation to become a first-tier international school in HK. They talk about the 8 virtues + one (八智一德) all the time but I honestly wish they would talk less and do more to show the parents and the students that they really do mean it.

Hi Factcni
Could you share more about YCIS? I am a mom of a 1 year old kids and I wanna to send him to YCIS. I thought it was good after going to the "breifing section", as it focus on freedom and character buidling. The teacher said "leave the academic to the school, and we parents can enjoy the playtime with the kids". It seems that the students there got a pretty good result in IB exam, right ?
Please kindly share your view to me, anything about that schools, as I am looking for a school where my kids can stay till graduate. Thanks a lot.

This is exactly my feeling about ISF. ISF's values and culture are very problematic. It instills in children wrong values that do not prepare them well for the modern society. In addition, while ISF teaches significantly more Chinese than other international schools, its students still do not achieve native-level reading and writing proficiency in Chinese, and their English levels lag behind other international schools. Many parents choose to transfer their children out of ISF in the 4th or 5th grade to go to other real international schools so that their children can catch up in their English levels and get ready for university. After that, whatever Chinese they may have learned in earlier years deteriorates anyway. All in all, it's not worth it.

That is not exactly what I said and I definitely do not agree with your comments. Not sure where you got your ideas from but the majority of the ISF students that I have come across can speak close to native-speaking Mandarin and can read and write Chinese just like any other student from a typical local school in HK (in fact, I would say better as ISF students do not need to translate Cantonese into proper written Chinese when they write) and their English is of a very high standard, probably on par with an average student from other international schools. I don't have an issue with ISF's primary curriculum, I just don't really like their management style.

Sorry if you found my previous post not clear. I meant I share your feeling that the school is primarily focused on its own interests rather than the best interests of the students.
The comments regarding the curriculum were my own and not yours. The ISF students I have come across are like what I previously described, and their parents have transferred them out. This is not ISF's fault either--it's simply what eventually happens with a "bilingual" education.
作者: 21Ckid 時間: 15-5-4 22:56
YCIS cannot get you anything close to english standard of most IS (unless you have substantial tuitions outside) as they encourage the use of cantonese as mother tongue. For this reason alone, i would rule this out.
ISF, to put it bluntly, primarily caters for the high performers and the rich. If you are neither, think twice. I think they are only one or two step short of kicking the low performers out of school, and in any event, these students may not have a good school life (just like some students in St. Pxxx Cxxxx).
But given the ample resources of the school and its focus on the high performers, if your kid is one, then he or she is much more likely to shine than in YCIS or most other schools.

Both you and Mikimoto12 are non-ISF parents and all these "my friend's son/daughter" are stories that you heard from your "friends" (or friend's friend?) but I am an ISF parent. Everyone is entitled to have their own thoughts and views but please at least have the courtesy to make responsible comments based on facts and not just make unfounded nasty remarks just because you don't know or care about ISF. As I said, there are issues with ISF's management and some of their policies but as far as I can see, their students are pretty much on track.

I totally agree with you. It is an average school only. My daughter is there and I will not send my son to them if he gets a place from another international school. Those 8 Chinese values are all a lie and for marketing only because they don't have much to sell. Most ECAs are not organized by ISF. They are outsourced. You can do the same activity at half the price from the center of the "same" provider if you do your research. Fire drills happen during ECA time one a month on average so the children miss some fun on a regular basis.

我無話任何人有精神病,不要誤會。
我只係講如果一個人時常懷有恨意,自己都不好受。EK平台就是分享資訊和感受,不用勞氣,這次吾啱斟,咪下次lor。

路過一問,ISF 要唔要比IEVY?另外學費又貴唔貴?
多口講,樓主,其實在這個谷中,好多人都講YC 係KINDER 同PRIMARY 好,一上中學便麻麻地(在又一城都隨處可見
)
如果中學後會離開香港讀,咁都唔洗轉,但係如果一直讀落去,便早一點轉對小朋友係會好一點

我都有咁唸,但我冇打算咁早係中學時期就送佢出國,除非到時佢有要求。我希望佢大學才出國。所以C6同我嘅想法一致,早些找其他學校。
ISF係咪最適合的學校我們未知,佢目前只有這間收,其他學校係wait list.

Atticus, seriously, what is your problem? If you like ISF, fine, but do you need to feel so violated that in this wide world there are people who are not equally enamored of the school as you are? So you have to make up lies to create the impression that there must be, there has to be, only one person and no more than one person on this forum who could possibly dare to voice any negative impression of your favorite school? What is wrong with you? If you are the typical kind of parents ISF attracts, well that again says something about the school.

For your information, I have never been banned, and I do not know the other posters. This is not a forum for junior high school students. So please do not engage in these juvenile gimmicks.

Dear allThx for your comments and advices! Really appreciated!
Though I dunno the background of you, I do apprepeciate meaning comments rather than hatred attacks or disputes which distract our attention from the main focus on our discussions.
I understand ISF and YC are not perfect school and each of them cultivates different styles of students. There is no right or wrong but which fit best to my child. I made this decision seriously as I have another younger ones who may follow eldest' path.
Welcome any more comments, no matter good or not.
Thx!

To be honest, for my concern, whether my kids are happy and enjoying their school. Both of my children love the school and they are learning and improving. I don't need them to go to the top top university, a happy school life, building up confidence, becoming a good person is more important. There is no perfect school. If you think the school offers what you want, take it. For me, I want my children able to read, speak and write Chinese properly but I don't want them to go to the local system. ISF is kind of my only choice. I don't worry about their English standard as it easier to pick up than Chinese. My kids' English is not bad at all. Many kids have very high standard in English, know many kids are reading Harry Potter when they are in Grade 2. Every school has high standard and low standard students. You can just rely on school to do all the jobs.
In secondary, they are very closely monitor individual's academic performance and well prepare them for uni.
One unique observation from ISF students, they can easily switch in between English and Chinese when they are having conversation with their schoolmates. For my kids, they will only speak English to friends from other IS but speak both Mandarin and English to their own school friends.
