Yes, majority of the families are very very rich. They have no concern about the cost of an overseas summer school of $60-70K.Almost all of the parents are very educated. Only hear English with native accents when any parent raises questions at any forum or information session. Maybe parents without native accents don't want to ask questions at all! Can easily spot parents around graduated from Oxbridge, Ivy Leaque...
CIS admits some students from "middle class". My personal opinion is that they want to keep the student profile diversified. Last year, CIS started to introduce scholarship for senior students who " could not otherwise afford a CIS education". This is an evidence that CIS wants to diversify further the student profile, though they only admit a handful each year. The students on scholarship are kept confidential so that they won't feel bad about the different family background.
When my kid was at junior primary (at another IS), he asked me why we were living in a flat while most of his classmates were living in houses. I told him ordinary people in HK live in flats! In recent years, I tell him that with our family background, he should not be studying in CIS, as his parents are not rich, and not graduated from Ivy league or Oxbridge. But as he was smart enough to be admitted, we wanted to provide him with the best education he can have.
