Athletics
The ISF Academy’s athletic program emphasizes the values of teamwork, discipline, and individual growth. All students learn the Chinese martial art of wushu, and some have participated in local exhibitions showcasing their skills. As the students advance in their wushu level, they study the different schools of wushu and the philosophy behind each school. Wushu becomes a vehicle for acquiring an in-depth understanding of virtues deeply rooted in Chinese culture. Other sports activities at The ISF Academy include basketball, soccer, table-tennis, fencing, taekwondo, volleyball, swimming and track.
An annual Sports Day encourages participation with emphasis on sportsmanship. Students currently utilize extensive facilities at both the Queen Elizabeth Stadium and Hong Kong Football Club. Upon completion of the new campus at Pokfulam, the athletic program will be further developed with a view to fielding teams that can participate in intramural or local leagues.
