I am wondering should I put my children to IS, can anyone share what character do IS students mostly have?

所有IS學生的性格都類似？大家都讀過書，所有本地學校的學生性格都大同小異？怎麼可能！？

如果真係要比較我諗IS學生比較主動,無咁怕醜.因為佢哋好多時候都有group work, presentation. 這方面嘅練習會被LS多. 同埋做teamwork嘅能力會強啲.
但當然都要睇個小朋友嘅性格, 不過IS能夠俾到佢哋一個平台去練習.

佢地會諗別人諗咩，點解會有咁既諗法，跟著先做comment。
因為咁，所以做咩事情，都會考慮人地感受。
呢樣係我小朋友入左IS最明顯既分別。

性格是自小形成，家庭的影響、培育更重要。不要誤以為國際學校的學生就一定主動活潑有識見、懂關懷世界⋯

There is one character of IS students which is often overlooked.
Because of the relatively transient nature of IS students, it is more difficult for them to have lasting relationships. Families are likely to relocate to other countries and friendships are often severed, and the child may grow to expect that as the norm. They may become reluctant to commit themselves emotionally, when they have had too many experiences of good friends suddenly disappearing from their lives.

IS 學生比較純真些，小學時少了直接成績比較及讀書壓力，少了計較之心，在校門外看看IS 學生返學放學的樣子，大都很開心地輕快精神地行，很少wimpy kids...

Totally agree! 良好的品格要從小培養，學校及家中都必須對孩子有正面的影響。

IS小朋友如果家長都配合嘅，會好鐘意返學，開朗，樂觀，鐘意接受挑戰，易識朋友，冇咁大機心

The mom of my son's best friend once asked me (while the kids' friendship was beginning to form) whether we plan to stay in HK for the long haul. At that time I had no idea where she was going with that, but I answered honestly. During a period when my husband considered an opportunity in Singapore, I did notice there were less invites for play dates from her, but soon after we decided to station in HK, the invites returned. I now totally understand where she was coming from, especially since her son was the shy, slow to warm up type (he's a wonderful kid). Being non-Chinese but grew up in HK herself (also in an Int'l school), this mom was very wise to make sure her son's good friends wouldn't suddenly disappear.
I learned from her too, and upon finding kids whose parents are well established in HK (from track record), our kids tend to hang out a bit more. You'd be surprised how many non-Asians have their businesses well anchored in this city. Of course, no one can see into the future with a crystal ball; even I don't know if we are staying in HK for sure for the next few years, but apparently parents are aware of the situation and ensure at least some of their kids' best buddies are for here to stay, from what we can best predict.

The above is just a bit of sharing for parents with young kids in IS.
Again, no one knows what the future holds, but we can try our best to set up a more ideal environment, just like our choice of schools. Of course we also need to teach kids at the same time about how people would come and go from our lives, but that we need to treasure each person. Growing up during the shadows of the handover, I left HK in my primary years. I did however kept in touch with some of my good friends in HK (back then by snail mail!), on and off, and proud to say I now go hiking with my Primary 1 best friend on a weekly basis.
Again, being in a transient community doesn't mean the kids will lose a sense of commitment to friendship. My son has now been in the same school for the 4th year (I've only been in the same school in HK for 4 years before I left), and I see many beautiful friendships blooming. We have no idea if the friendships would last, especially when kids move up to secondary and student relocation becomes a whirlwind. All we can do is to set up the environment the best way we can, teach them the correct mindsets; the rest is really up to the kids and fate.

我仔到G6都不知愛情為何物。
平日不會看日本卡通，乜陀螺丶暴龍丶比卡超丶果D日本動漫全部不睇唔識。
日常睇書包括Time Rider, Dan Brown果類厚厚的小說。
流行曲流行歌星全部唔識，但識Lady Gaga,
同我傾計的話題是democracy,
睇到的中文字唔識廣東話，但識用普通話讀，
會自己plan考琴考到咩level, 學多幾多種樂器，因為功課唔太忙有時間發揮自己其他方面，
佢已經自己有plan幾時學多種外語......
同我自己以前的被動學習很不同。

我自己以前讀local school, 幾十年前，我K3已經識得暗戀男同學，小三四五六大把同學拍拖，
反而我仔讀IS仲好單純，同學少機心，
我都覺得好得意。
我以前以為IS個個都好有機心果D添！

My kids have graduated from secondary school and are in universities now.
Most IS students in secondary schools are more open minded. They have their own opinions, but are still willing to respect and accept the fact that other people can have opposite stance. Their opinions or decision to make a stance, would be made with consideration of all facts and information, not because of peer pressure. They respect people with different abilities and strength, and have clear and strong believes in their own goal. They are usually would be able to have decision of what they want to be in the future, not having to fall into the stereotype of having to be a doctor or lawyer even if they have top grades.
Someone raised that fact that since people come and go, it is hard for them to have lasting relationship. This point is quite interesting but I think it really depends. My kids have been with ESF since Year 1 and they have no problem with dealing with separation from their friends. The example of someone's experience of parent not willing to let his child play with a friend who MIGHT leave hong kong was absurd. It was purely from the parent's over-protectiveness, and not the genuine characteristics of a child. Parents are usually the culprit. My kids never had similar problems. They are still keeping contact with close friends that left their schools or even those that left Hong Kong. Some of them are actually their university friends now. Parents should let go and not put their hands in kids friendship. Just let friendship develop. Things will fall into the way it should.

I think your comments are fair. Parents in Hong Kong tend to stereotype students from IS. This is very dangerous as every kid is really different. And yes, parents or family values have great influence of a child's character or even his daily life. Parents are usually the real culprit in many ways.

Thanks for your sharing. I have a follow-up question on the peer relationship of IS students in their primary years. My husband and I went to Anfield open day this weekend. We like this school but since there is no direct secondary, we are a bit reserved. My husband is worried that a child may not be able to get into a peer group when they change to another school (it happened to him when he transferred to another primary school in his young days, probably 2x years ago). Will there be teachers or elder students to help a transferring student to make friends with their peers when they change to a new school? Or are the students in IS usually very friendly to the newcomers? Your opinion will be much appreciated. Thank you :)

Just to clarify, the parent in question wasn't unwilling to let his child play with a friend who might leave hong kong. If i asked for a play date, the mother was willing to meet up. The kids were in kindergarten at the time, and between a family who may be leaving and those others who are in Hong Kong, I think the mother was making wise moves. Kids can't remember much at that age, but the relational experience stays.
作者: nintendo 時間: 17-10-16 13:23
Wise move or not it is not for me to say. No friend would suddenly disappear. If parents want to "avoid" this and that, then might as well home school their child. My children have seen many people come and go and if parents explain to them the is no problem. Of course, everyone is different. I am sure many parents think their children are that fragile. I just think many things can happen, it is not like we can plan everything. Not interested in going into further discussion of this case.

I do not know about other schools but for ESF, it will be a different school for secondary anyway. So people just come and go and there is no real issues. Having the experience to move around schools, or even move around cities can be pros or cons. Depends on how you see it. There is no perfect world. There is always something that you think it will be a down side of a certain decision. It is only in your head. It is a typical "half cup water" situation ---- depends on how you see it. I just think any decision can be a good decision. Just see how it goes. Honestly, even if you are with a school that is truly through train, there is no guarantee of happy school life. Like I said, parents are too over-protective and are always the culprit. No need to think too much. I see that most kids deal with friends coming and leaving really positively.

Thanks for your reply. Perhaps it's my husband's personal experience that made him worried. Our son is a shy boy, but I do hope he will learn instead of being beaten by any unhappy experiences at school. We will help him, definitely.

Most kids in the local system would have to go through the exact same thing as we all know there are very limited through train schools.
It's just part of life and we all learn and grow through life experience.
I too was a new student in a secondary school which is a through train school. Yes most kids in there knew everyone else from P1 but there were also enough new comers to the school and that did not stop people forming new friendships. Sometimes being a little bit out of your comfort zone is a good thing.

Agree on the friendship part. My husband is ESF alumni starting from Primary all the way to Secondary. Though many of his friends are from different parts of the world and some have moved back to their countries, but their friendship never cease and they still consider each other best friends. They are very loyal to each other and would drop whatever they are doing just to reach out to a friend in need where ever they are. I have to say their friendship is so much stronger and pure than my friendship with my local school friends.
