The Independent Schools Foundation Academy is an international school in Hong Kong. They moved to their new campus in Pokfulam from their old campus in Causeway Bay and Wan Chai on 1 August 2007. The new campus is divided into two sections, primary and secondary.

Education

From Grades 6 to 10, ISFA follows the IB Middle Years Program (MYP). Then it will be followed by the IB Diploma Program (DP) a two-year curriculum to be offered in Grades 11 and 12. Students learn to read critically, write effectively, listen intently and speak fluently in Putonghua (Mandarin Chinese) and English. The aim of the language program is to have students to attain fluency in both Putonghua and English on par with native speakers, and conversational ability in a third language, by the time they graduate from Grade 12.
