 Invest in The ISF Academy
The ISF Academy is a registered not-for-profit private independent school, deeply rooted in the culture of Hong Kong and China. We receive no subsidy or financial assistance from the Hong Kong Government except for the HK$182 million capital grant towards the construction cost of our school campus at Pokfulam. The total cost for Phase 1 of our school campus amounts to approximately HK$250 million.
Together with the $75 million previously raised (see What’s New – Donations), The ISF Academyhas raised a total of HK$122 million from private sources in 2005/06. This overwhelming level of financial support from our donors provides a clear endorsement and affirmation of the quality of The ISF Academy academic program, philosophy and organization. The donations raised, together with the $182 million grant from the HKSAR Government, will cover not only Phase 1 of our campus construction, but also all our immediate and medium-term operational needs.
The Board and the School management are in the advanced stage of planning for Phase II for our campus development. In order to ensure sufficient funding for a first-class educational program, we will continue to look for your financial support as we build Hong Kong "School for Today"

Scholarship and Financial Aid Program
The ISF Academy believes diversity is fundamental to learning excellence.
We welcome and encourage students from diverse economic backgrounds. We believe academic excellence should be available to those who wish to seek it. Financial means should not be an obstacle to a child obtaining the best education available. Please see Scholarship and Financial Aid.
As at September 2008, out of our student population of 430, there are 25 students who receive scholarship or financial aid from The ISF Academy for school year 2007/08. This represents almost 10% of our student population. We aim to have more students benefiting from the scholarship/ financial and programs. Our goal is to raise leaders for the next generation, irrespective of family financial situations.
We need you to share our vision and, importantly, we need your financial support!
