I am planning to send my P4 boy to boarding oversea as well in this coming Sept. Any suggestion?

Beside UK, any country is good for such a young boy?

Thank you for sharing.

I may a bit nosey but for the sake of the children, a P. 4 or P. 5 kid is just 9 or 10.  You let him/her to fly alone to a country which they don't know and even the language they don't speak well.  If I were them, I would be very scare.  

Have you ever thought of the feeling and worry of the kids when they start their first step away from their family and home country?

I know money is a big concern, if you are spending a lot of money to send them overseas, why not a bit more?

I can tell you back in the old days, how hopeless I was when I went for study in UK and I was lucky, my dad went with me (mind you I was 17 already) though he did not speak a word of English.  It's a support from heart.

I know a lot of parents let them to fly there alone if they are sixth form students.  It's sound fine but smaller than F. 3.

Some boarding schools don't look as good as their prospectus.  There are a lot of details you have to deal with, too.

小四真係太細啦, 有無係summer比佢去target school上summer school, 睇吓適唔適應, 呢個年紀, 除非你小朋友好independent, 好sociable, 或者有同學仔讀緊, 如果又無親人, 又無朋友, 生活點過.

Oh sorry what I mean is: he will studying there alone in a boarding school, but of course I will bring him there.

I am now doing research on the school, then I will take a trip there and take a look in real. After I choice the best school for my son then i wil bring him there for a tour before I register.

I love my son so much and I will never send him alone, I will definately give him all my support. I totally understand the felling to go to a foreign country so young. My parent send me to Switzerland alone when I am 11 years old in a girl boarding school-all people speak French.

My parents sent me to Switzerland when I was just 10, I was really happy the whole time. My brother was there at the age of 8. If you let me choose again, I would definitely choose the same path.

17 is already too late to merge into the system. I think 11-13 is the latest, if sending kids overseas for boarding school.

I've inquired withy Canadian International School of Beijing and one agency in HK have liaison with the school, to me the price is OK.

http://www.cisb.com.cn or (852) 23302316 (agency)

But I have to declare that I haven't arranged my kid to go as I can't make it this summer and no experience with the school program.

In addition, there are few international schools in Shanghai also offer summer program but not sure if any boarding facilities.

YauMum

Just want to know more, how was boarding school life in Switzerland from your experience?

Any recommendation?

Any summer program offer/ recommendation from you, too?

You know Switzerland is experience and not a lot of students studying there, can't get more information for further option.

Thank you for sharing anyway.

Are you looking for State School? Or private school?My boy study here since he finished his Primary 4 in HK, and admit to Yr 6 here in England, he loves tostudy here, and persuade his younger brother to come to, and now I am here with them.  Studying here without high pressure and I don't need to check their homework and work with them like in HK.
