The ISF Academy is a nonprofit, co-educational independent school in Pokfulam, Hong Kong, offering bilingual immersion in Putonghua and English. Secondary students follow the International Baccalaureate MYP (G6–10) and DP (G11–12); Primary uses the school’s own program. The campus has housed both Primary and Secondary since 2007. Language instruction shifts toward more English in the upper years (for example, G6 ~70% English / 30% Chinese; G9 ~80% English / 20% Chinese). Typical classes are small (≤20 in Primary; <22 in Secondary). Co-curricular options are extensive, from Engineering & Robotics and Math Team to Choir, Ceramics, Drama, and sports such as Swimming and Wushu. ISF is accredited by the Association for Experiential Education, reflecting a strong emphasis on experiential learning alongside programs like the Hong Kong Explorer Award. Daily school buses are provided via Kwoon Chung Bus Co.
