The ISF Academy

The Independent Schools Foundation Academy (ISF) is a private not-for-profit International Baccalaureate (IB) World School in Hong Kong providing Chinese and English immersion education from pre-school to Grade 12. The ISF Academy was founded in 2003 and moved to its permanent campus in Cyberport, Pokfulam in 2007. It currently enrolls 2,500 students, who are supported by a faculty and staff of 500.
Embracing both tradition and innovation, ISF is a vibrant, nurturing community of learners who are independent in thought, principled in action, deeply rooted in Chinese virtues and culture, and global in outlook. In their daily lives, ISF students learn to exemplify the school’s core ethical system, namely The Eight Virtues + One. These values comprise commitment, respect, benevolence, compassion, courtesy, integrity, harmony, balance and wisdom. At the same time, the Academy strives to instill an ethos of personal and academic excellence in all its students and faculty.
