帶小朋友去英國讀書

Ruby1219

my son is going to take exams for year 10 in 2014.  If he passes, I plan to go and stay with him in Uk for first few months. But I would still put him in boarding (maybe weekly) as he will be quite big (14.5 years old) by the time and I want him to learn independence and adapt to boarding school life quickly.

if my son is going for full or weekly boarding, and i will only stay there fore few months (maximum half year), is it no need to apply for the 陪讀 visa ?

Ic! my friend encountered the same problem. But since I only plan to go once in Aug and stay till Xmas, then I will let my son stay there and fly back and forth UK and HK alone, so I guess it's not the same? I remember you said you now stay there and your daughter is attending day school? So, you have quitted your job? and, how come you do the school interview so late in March? still 趕得切?

I agree with you. Independence training is one of my reasons of sending my kid abroad. Therefore I just plan to stay there for few months for transition and adaptation, and I would still put him in boarding during those few months.
But I think maybe some parents send their kids to schools abroad only for the different academic environment, culture, etc and therefore day school would serve their purposes well ?

is he still like that at home in hk?

wow, why apply for 1X schools? is it too 辛苦 to take so many exams ? and, the school's gave u so much time to consider and confirm the offer ?

i mean 去完返黎 HK 後有冇保持 these good discipline ?
my son did go to summer camps for weeks, HK, China and even Germany. He seemed very independent and disciplined in those camps, got very good comments from teachers/coaches and once he got "The Tidiest Room" award! but once back to HK 就打回原形
