GSIS is British curriculum which is more structured. ESF is IB which is more freestyle and focus more on self exploration. Both ways work well on us so we just chose the school we like. Having said that we like both schools so much.
Many thanks for sharing! Indeed would love to know more the difference between IB PYP and a more traditional structured programme like British. Some people say IB depends on whether u got good teachers ..but it’s difficult to teach. Is British curriculum play based , inspirational and encourage courisoity ? Just personally I feel that at early years its seems a more structured programme may make parents feel more comfortable in terms of learning output.
