Learning Comes at a Cost (Blog Topic #11)

Hong Kong International School is a school in Hong Kong that provides an american education for many students.

Their mission statement is the following:
*Dedicating Our Minds to INQUIRY, Our Hearts to COMPASSION, Our Lives to SERVICE, and GLOBAL UNDERSTANDING.

*An AMERICAN-STYLE EDUCATION, Grounded in the christian faith and RESPECTING the SPIRITUAL LIVES of all

The Hong Kong school has four divisions on two campuses.  The two primary schools are on one campus while the middle and high schools are on another.  The Hong Kong International School has extensive resources for their students including athletic playing fields and courts, swimming pools, dance studio, weight room, climbing walls and theatres.

Students must pay all of the following fees to attend:

  • Application Fee
  • Reservation Fee
  • Entry Fees

  • Annual Capital Levy
Here's what Annual Tuition Fees were for this year:

As you can see this high quality education comes at a high price!!!

Opportunities for college graduates include jobs as teaching or support staff at the four schools. You can apply online at their website.

This school really shows globalization in action.   All these parents in China are willing to pay a huge amount of money for an "AMERICAN" education.  The same goes of American products.  People are willing to pay the money and American items and culture are sweeping across the globe.  Of course with their American education the students will be exposed to american products, customs, and culture, too.  The success of this school demonstrates how the world is "flattening" and becoming more and more interconnected each day.
