也不一定,視乎你報邊間和你孩子的英文程度,有些多人報和出名的一定難,但也不是冇可能。我是沒有passport 也不想支付levy, debentures etc. 但也能夠由幼稚園到中學讀is,而且都有幾個Offer, 讀is英語程度很重要。當然我從來不追求名牌,只要適合自己小朋友就足夠。

Local passport 加冇siblings 既n無,的確係俾拎外國passport ge 少好多優勢,正如大家所講,愈早入愈好

建議你可以先留意邊間學校啱你同小朋友,最好就去下school tour 同open day:

1)教學模式(eg IB, 小班⋯)、學校環境、老師如何
2)同屋企距離 (我諗你唔會想咁細個小朋友日日搭成個鐘返學
3)升小學(有無得直升⋯呢個好重要,因為我都係n無,如果學校唔guarantee 直升,到時要再出去考year 1, 競爭大好多)

其實就咁已經可以shortlist 一d學校,到時再留意返果間心儀學校幾時可以開始apply, 同埋有無playgroup

建議睇下小朋友性格需唔需要讀n班,搵國際幼稚園(參考一下佢地既畢業生係咪多入到IS)

加油!

It's definitely easier to get in from Kindergarten. At the age of 3 or younger (time of interview), most children can't speak much and as long as your kids are willing to interview independently, there's a very good chance he/she will get an offer or at least be put on waitlist.

仲有幾點冇乜人提嘅…
1.如果搬屋係一個option的話,最有效的方法應該係搬去港島,入到ESF機會大增。
2.唔介意小朋友commute過海返學。一衆港島區老牌IS,外國護照要求只係70%(相比幾間九龍、新界新校嘅80-90%+,機會多好多)
3.所有accept application from birth的學校如FIS Kellett,一律越早報越好。

(利申有外國護照,但都想分享吓從朋友圈觀察到嘅,希望你唔介意)

你讀完K1 先轉梗係難啦,最容易係 N 班或者 pre-reception (K1) 就入,視乎間IS 最低係咩班,因為係最多位,中途withdraw 學位畀你讀少之又少。你呢個情況可以搵reception 就係最低班嘅IS,好似AISHK, CIS, etc。不過現在都遲,因為人地已經 interview 完。

We also turned down ESF for another offer. Each school has its own culture and features, you have to go visit the schools and talk to the people to know whether that school fits your need (e.g. location, class size, curriculum, teaching style etc etc). Not saying ESF is not a good school but there are many choices these days and you have to spend time to do some research and go school visits. And for most of these schools, when you are in, you will be in there for 15 years (kindergarten+primary+secondary) so you and your kids really need to like the school.

ESF are not Oxbridge and Ivies, exactly my point.  If the fact is many students every year turn down Oxbridge and Ivies offers, it can’t be so shocked to see a student rejecting Oxbridge or Ivies.  If that is the case, what is so shocked about someone turning down an ESF offer?

Mine went to a local PN and then switch to International sch K1. Many people do that. The key is you need to ensure they understand instructions in English for K1 interview for IS. They need to be able to respond to English. I think Oral is less important at the age of 2 or 3 as not many kids at that age can speak full sentence (from what I observe)

It means very little for a random passport applying to a random IS, even if the passport is non-local.  For example a German passport applying to a Singapore IS.

A matching foreign passport probably means a bit more, eg a Singaporean passport applying to SIS.  In the form of higher priority.  

作者: codeblue    時間: 18-12-15 02:37

To quite many IS, the priority given to foreign passport holders will only be taken in account after your child passed their assessment of language abilities. This priority is usually lower than capital note holders, staffs' offspring and sibling of existing students ...etc. Some IS don't even bother nationality as they might have already got a good ratio of foreigner in school.

Yes yes, 所以樓主問係咪難啲入到,我覺得係難啲,連 interview 機會都無點入 (emoji)(emoji)(emoji)
但都唔係一定唔得,at least 最後我個囡都有 IS offer, 而我認為最主要原因係「好彩」(emoji)

如果係咁,我就真係唔知點解,因為我朋友係知道我報 ICS 先知道有呢間學校。而我地都同樣唔係基督教,唯一最唔同就係一個香港一個外國 passport

我比我朋友早2星期交form,

ICS is PIS, need 70% HKID holders, though the fact is a lot of HKID holders got foreign passports in hk. Interview time depends on the age of the kid. The big kids got interviewed first and youngest last. After interview they will reply either you are successful / failed (unless you have a sibling and will have chance to be reassessed).

Therefor if you are talking about 2019/20 R1 interview, and if your kid born in July (smallest batch), then just ask admission office and wait... can be February/March next year is the last batch of interview.

So, the well know ‘ICS secret’ is, the best result is ‘Accept’, the worst is ‘reject / waitlist’. No answer is actually can be a good news.

We have only BNO & HKSAR & 回鄕咭 only.
God bless everyone

I was having same bought as you but after trying, it’s not as bad as I thought. At least we got offer for ESF, ICS, Small World, and HKIS at K1 and K2. I think English proficiency is the most important and the rest depend on your child. Schools do pick children depend on their characters and personality. So my suggestion is to keep trying. Good luck!

No, they said on the application website that they will only select suitable candidates for interview. Of those I know who are offered interviews in October (applying pregrade 1), all come from English medium kindergartens. The assessment fee is paid only upon an offer of interview.

我都十分同意小朋友嘅英文水平真係好多IS嘅首要收生條件。
我小朋友剛攞到foreign passport(我哋遲咗apply 好耐先攞到), 但之前已經要去interviews. 所以我哋當時係攞local passport 申請IS嘅。
我同屋企人由佢細個一直都係英文溝通,佢interviews嘅時候around兩歲半,英文好流利,肯同老師對答,無走來走去,ended up interview三間有兩間收咗。我哋無買任何debenture 之類嘅嘢。
所以小朋友嘅英文要好好,我相信係真嘅。
我識得幾個人買幾百萬debenture 都入唔到IS, 可能都同英文唔得有關。

https://www.ics.edu.hk/admissions#admissions-process

The wording I read today is like this...

“While ICS strives to offer an admission assessment to most applicants, due to limited availability of seats, assessment is not guaranteed”

That’s why just go ahead to call the admission office to check the interview progress.

暫時近幾年,我真係未聽過有人報咗R1無得interview.

And in your case, it is ‘non-R1’

過咗R1, 我完全同意你講得啱

因為以我所聽聞, 有位先會跟priority叫人interview(overseas返來, sibling, IS/English medium KG...)

Pre-grade 1 最多位 (10+), 其他級更少

所以有心一入ICS而無任何priority, 一定要報R1

謝謝你的詳細回覆。ICS幼稚園仲遠過小學,所以我沒有考慮。同樣我也沒有為了考ESF而入WKS KG。我相信休息對小朋友是十分重要的,如果每日搭長途車來回返放學,對小朋友的發展始終不利。

明白的. 我幸運地係無心插柳, 報K1乜到報之後ICS收咗大嗰個, 之後大家的結論係一係要個位(我一定遠過你好多好多), 一係以後唔好諗ICS Elementary(因為機會太細).
