Parenting philosophy and daily practice:

Cultivation of responsibility and independence

Her mother, Cathy, studied in the UK and then furthered her studies while accompanying her daughter to Hong Kong. She has always maintained the spirit of lifelong learning. During this period, she obtained a Master of Arts in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. This achievement demonstrates her commitment to personal and professional development and sets a good example for her children.


She also emphasizes the combination of interests and studies, and allows children to learn to plan their time independently, which not only helps them establish good living habits, but also makes children more independent.The eldest daughter is currently studying alone in Hong Kong, and her experience of living independently has set an example for Milly and Zenith.


Cathy keeps in touch with her eldest daughter through video or WeChat every day and pays attention to her studies and life.This communication model is also used in the education of Milly and Zenith. In particular, Milly gradually shows initiative and independence in the CIS classroom.

Reasons for choosing CIS and children’s progress

This family chose CIS mainly because of its more than 20 years of experience in running international schools, excellent teachers and rich learning resources.The diversified courses and international education concepts provided by CIS are highly consistent with their educational concepts.


Daughter Milly showed significant progress in her third grade studies at CIS. Not only did she dare to express herself in English, she also actively participated in discussions in class and developed a good habit of completing homework independently.
