does anyone know how they accommodate overseas applicants?  The admission office is very unhelpful and unfriendly.

HKTHK

What accommodations are you looking for?

When i called the admission office, the person who answered the phone just deferred me to email communciation.  And all the emails I sent seemed to have gone into a 'blackhole' without response. On the day I submit the application, I've already requested my child to be interviewed in spring when we will be visiting HK.  however, the admission office still assigned a november assessment date.  I'm just appalled by how unprofessional the school is handling prospective applicants.  Meanwhile, other IS we applied to are very responsive and accommodative.

I don't know how other IS operates but ISF interviews all children for FY (in the normal round) before they make decisions on who gets to move to second round. The FY interviews have started already and I have heard of people flying back just for the interviews.  Think of the other side of the story, why would the school let you interview at a different time and throw a wrench into their whole interview process?

If ISF cannot be flexible with overseas applicants, then they should not have accepted my application in the first place.

I don't get it, what is the big deal about flying back for an interview?  Any reason why it cannot be done?

miumiu1

oh it's really NOT a big deal taking kiddo out of school and fly 20hrs each way to the other side of the globe for a 1hr interview, when i can bundle other school interviews during spring all in one trip.  don't even mention about the jetlag, kids should be able to adjust it very easily. what was i thinking?  

HKTHK

I understand your preference but believe it or not, it is more commonly done than you think. And NO, the world does not revolve around you.

Unlike other IS, ISF is not geared for overseas parents.  It is NOT an international school so you may or may not be able to move your child to another education system.  The reason why many parents send their children there is for their bilingual immersion and research shows that it takes 5-7 years for this to be effective.  Unless you are committed to move to HK for the next 6 years, it is not the right school for you or any expats.

We attended the interview on 19 Nov and were told that all applicants would be informed no later than the first week of January 2013.

Rejections started to send out.   I think those got 2nd interview will be informed as well....

We just received 2nd interview offer! So surprised !

Catmom

Anyone knows how many will be invited for 2nd int?

HKTHK

Don't know, but it is not equal to admission.  Have friends who made it to 2nd round but no offer in the end.  2nd round is an interview of both parents and child.

Octobergirls

2nd round will interview the child too? I thought its for parents and the child just sits there?
