AI Insights

香港国际学校的学费水平处于全港顶尖梯队,采取“无强制债券、设有高额自愿提名权”的财务政策。

  • 学费排名:在全港98所学校中位列第16名,排名高于香港加拿大国际学校,略低于香港美国学校。
  • 建校费用:学生需缴纳每年11,500港元的建校费,该项费用是学费之外明确列出的主要额外支出。
  • 债券政策:学校不设强制性购买的债券,且明确标注不需要购买常规的可退还或不可退还债券。
  • 提名权计划:提供价值300万港元的提名权债券供自愿购买,该债券在锁定15年后可获无息退还。

建议:申请家庭需重点评估300万港元提名权的资金占用成本,并建议向校方核实建校费的最新缴纳频率。

Data Notes

Matriculation counts students who finally enroll at a university. Since each student enrolls in only one university, total matriculations usually do not exceed total graduates.

Offer counts admission offers received by students. A student may receive multiple offers, so total offers are usually higher than total graduates.

香港国际学校通勤便利度受地理位置影响显著,浅水湾与大潭片区优势最大,新界地区最为不便。

居住通勤要点分析

  • 香港国际学校小学部靠近浅水湾,中学部靠近大潭红山半岛,两片区学生可步行上学,通勤压力最小。
  • 黄竹坑与鸭脷洲片区属于校车覆盖的较近区域,通勤时间相对较短,是除步行区外的优质选择。
  • 铜锣湾、跑马地及薄扶林等港岛片区通勤时间在可接受范围内;港岛北区如湾仔、东区等时间相对较长。
  • 九龙片区虽有校车覆盖,但通勤时间较长,可能对学生每日作息及课外活动参与造成一定影响。
  • 新界地区目前无校车服务,家长需自行接送,通勤成本与难度极高,属于居住劣势区域。
  • 信息补充:报告未提供具体校车路线图、各片区详细通勤分钟数及周边公共交通配套设施等量化数据。

执行建议

建议家长根据申请年级(小学或中学)精准选址,并针对九龙或港岛北区提前进行早高峰通勤实地验证。

Strengths

  • Repulse Bay and Redhill Peninsula (Tai Tam) are the nearest areas to the school; students in these areas can walk to the primary and secondary campuses respectively.
  • Wong Chuk Hang and Ap Lei Chau are relatively nearby areas served by the school bus.

Neutral

  • Other Hong Kong Island areas, such as Causeway Bay, Happy Valley, and Pok Fu Lam, have commuting times within an acceptable range to the school.
  • Northern Hong Kong Island areas, including Wan Chai, Eastern District, and Central and Western District, have relatively longer commute times.

Weaknesses

  • Although school buses serve Kowloon areas, commute times are relatively long.
  • There is no school bus service to the New Territories, so self drop-off and pick-up are required, which is quite inconvenient.

FAQ

Only a few grades, such as R1 in primary school and G10 in middle school, have the opportunity to take full interviews/ tests. Other grades are based on priority, academic performance, application forms, educational background, and family situation when screening students.
According to 8.31, age segments can be divided but it is not advisable to apply for early entry or skip-level admission.
The student's parents' home bond can receive the highest priority, but it is not absolute 100% . If a student needs to have priority admission, ordinary students do not need to buy the bond.
In 2025, new bilingual courses were opened in the middle school department. Non-bilingual classes are offered separately for all grades except primary and secondary schools.
