Here are some points worth noting for potential ISF parents: (a) homework now, starting from Foundation Year, is already much tougher than before; (b) extra Chinese tutorial is common especially if one is non fluent in Mandarin; (c) non suitable school for working parents with long and fixed working hours; (d) a school standing between local school and international school; (e) not a well rounded school, concentrating mostly on academic; (f) lots of emails every week from the school.
Personally, I think this school should not be considered as part of international schools in Hong Kong. Having a non-working parent is really critical for good monitor and progress of your kid's schoolwork. Afterall, does it sound like typical famous local school?
I believe this is one of the most accurate picture on ISF. Funny though, those active ISF bashers here know so little and keep on attacking the feasibility of bilingual development (more precisely on the standard of english), which is not at all a real concern.
This is also a major reason why ISF has, relatively, more students leaving to other IS or LS, i.e. the expectation gap, that some parents do not do enough homework beforehand.
Nonetheless, this approach also attracted huge crowd of parents and many love it (and indeed help to push towards this direction), as they consider many other IS like ESF as too hea and are destined only for under performers.
