CAIS vs ICS

Any parents can share their experience of having kids in these 2 christian schools:

Just knowing that:
CAIS - canadian curr, while ICS : Amer
CAIS: no debenture, while ICS: 190,000 depreciation
CAIS: small campus, will move to Lai Chi Kok in 2014-15, while bigger and new campus for ICS

but I wish to know more about their

• academic achievement
• discipline
• will that be too strong in christian belief
• will kids be happy in studying there, love going to school?
• workload of homework?

I wish my child can grow up under a happy learning environment and enjoy going to school.

Thanks for parents sharing their practical experience for my consideration.

Thank you, esonma.  No worry at all.  I wish I could receive the letter after the CNY so that we could buy time to think.

I did not receive the letter last Saturday.

For those parents whose kids have been accepted, do you agree with the sugegstion on group negotiation?  If yes, what is our plan then?

If you got the accepted email before, you will then receive the confirmation letter by post this week.  Don't worry!

The administrator said they'll release the result on Friday (maybe via phone or mail). coz I have to pay deposit by Friday, so i called her today and got the result. u all still have chances! She said there're around 75-76 seats for P.1 and around 50 from ICS kinder but ICS kinder also have to go through the test. I think they select those with highest scores and put the remaining qualified ones to waiting list.

Good luck to u all!

Any one got the offer already?

I think my kid also failed,... because i did not receive any call from ICS, i think the success chance is small...

just called the administrator of ICS. my son failed on the assessment. so we'll just stick to CAIS. wish the others good luck!

I think ICS is puting more effort on Chinese teaching. from next year ICS kinder will have Chinese (don't know about detail). Hope Elementary will have more Chinese teaching too.

I'm also interested in ICS so my husband joined the school visit last year.  He was told that there is only 1 hour putonghua/Chinese class per week so we think the Chinese language teaching is not one of their 'priorities', like many IS (e.g. ESF).  Anyone knows the current situation?

Hi InitalD

my info about the Chinese Standard came from my son's school PTH teacher. i don't think the comparison include SIS (btw, is it "Singapore IS"?) coz they seldom have graduates to HK side.
