If your child is doing fine in ESF and you have not got good reasons to change, or you don’t prefer one over the other, isn’t the answer quite obvious.

He / she did say there is no US or UK preference.  

The one thing that might make a difference is proximity to where the student lives.

HKIS has near native stream for Chinese.
The fees for HKIS is prob doubled of ESF.
I think it depends on if you want IB or AP. HKIS has smaller class size and newer facilities. But I would not change if the kid is doing well in the current school, esp if the kid is joining a school in a year when there is no big intake.

Changing school always has its risks, not to mention friends and teachers.  If there is no apparent benefits (to you), why take the risk?

I am no expert in ESF or HKIS, but the math and Chinese “issues”, it seems they are quite common among IS in general.

To address them both in IS, typical students need tons of tuition.  By the time you spend the money and time for tuition, you may as well save money and time by going to a local schools.

不久之前到HKIS 參觀，考慮申請中學，認識朋友女兒已經畢業了好幾年。以前朋友有提及中學部，學校會抽查學生頭髮驗毒，想問現在仲有沒有定時抽查？
想問中學部，學生的品行如何，以前看報紙報道學生涉及毒品，給警方調查。我對學校印象不錯，但就比較擔心品行及毒品問題，唔知真實情況是如何，有家長熟悉中學部嗎？

我都想知道HKIS如何做到多年來畢業生每年都有十分好的大學offers, 好可能是有最好大學placement 頭幾名IS, 同時亦有外面道聽塗說的吸毒問題存在。 ESF 沒有抽查學生驗毒？ 答案都是有的。

我的估計，其一因素係 HKIS 升美多，美國大學有 legacy。

大學Legacy ? 所以Ivy league 畢業的父母送子女去HKIS 而不是ESF，因為入去Ivy 相對容易？
