may I know the travel agent?

justinamum

she joined the tour when she was 11( primary 5 summer holidays )It cost around $ 46000 for three weeks.Most of the
tutors there  were  old students of that boarding school.
they were all very nice and looked after them very well.
The english class teacher was the
day time teacher of that school.  My daughter said some of her roomates were as young as 8 years old.
There were only 5
students from Hong Kong and they were all assigned to
different groups.

My daughter also joined a study tour to England in
Primary 4. After comparison, she found that the one in
England was not as good as the one in Switzerland. All the facilities in the campus of Switzerland was open for their
use. While the one in England, although the campus looks big, but they were only allowed to go into part of their
rooms and facilities. The Switzerland school even have
their own school bus and cooking team to prepare for  their meals during outing.


Make sure that the summer school is organised by the
school itself and not an agent renting the school campus
and run the camp there.

上年我地諗住比個大仔(上年F.2)去遊學, 佢好似唔係太願意, 點知佢知道佢同學有去想報名又太遲.
今年佢學校有搞去澳州一所中學交流2星期, 團費HK$13,000, 所以同佢報左名, 希望佢可以體驗下不同文化既生活同學下自立, 不過如果太多人報名就要抽簽......

My son went to UK once when he was primary 4. He enjoyed it tremendously.

This year I will send him to the US.

In both cases, I apply it for myself, not through agent and he went there alone, without any HK students / schoolmates accompanished. It is fine because you can arrange airline for "unaccompanished minor" which they will personally take care of your kid and hand it to the school at the airport gate. The same will do in the return trip.

The purpose of doing this is to avoid too many Chinese students together, which defeats the purpose of learning English.

The experience of apply for US summer school this year give me an impression that those summer schools in the US are much more well-organized, although the results of attending has yet to know (until he comes back in August).

If you have interest, just go to http://www.boardingschoolreview.com/summer-boarding-schools.php

Each school have summer session on their webpage. But prepare to go through rather complicated process, eg. school and teacher recommendations, etc. Some famous ones may required to conduct video - interview or tele-interview.

For the UK Trip he attended 3 years ago, it costed about HK$ 15,000 for two weeks. The school name is Eastbourne, but the programme is not run by the school. Academically, he did not gain much. But the trip help build his own confidence and he likes and is then well prepared for studying aboard. Thus for those who intend to send their kids aboard in secondary school. It is worth spending the money.

This year, he will stay in the State for five weeks. It costs US$ 6,500 (HK$50,000), excluding airfare. In the US, almost all boarding summer session are operated by the school itself. My son's school even has summer session alumni and credits are recognized by pre-schools in the US.

There are even more choices if you choose day camp.

30000, or 50000, so expensive!

I myself joined overseas summer school programs for three times. I visited the US while I was in form 1, Australia in form 3 and UK in form 6. All tours were organized by my school, and some of my teachers were with us. Subsidized by the school, the cost was around $20000-25000 for 2-3 weeks. Acceptable to most families. My small sister joined a study tour organized by a famous travel agency to the UK last years when she was in P.5. We were shocked by the poor quality and her peers. They spoke Cantonese all the time and seldom talked to foreigners. Many of her peers in the tour are children from wealthy families going shopping abroad. And 1 in 2 of them are from Band 3 schools....
So I strong recommend tours organized by your kid's school. Never travel agencies.

It's terrible...... Can you share which agency was it? by PM please. Thanks
