呢個post我有睇過，但見最後回覆已是去年3月，想睇吓有冇updated comment...
其實我已去過學校前後4次，包括去校務處向職員諮詢、正式的School Visit、Class Visit 同埋襯離開時故意偷偷走去看看學童上課情況（非正式的，沒教職員陪同的），當中都有留心觀察學童的禮貌、儀表、老師及教職員的態度等，都跟這裡或坊間所說的大不同，當然我是說正面多了，所以真想知道負面評價源由？

我也同意那些只是一些家長的bias opinions。據我理解，為增進家長對學校的了解，
一般學校通常會透過開放日(openhouse) 的形式，將其優異的一面，向家長們盡量炫耀。走馬看花之下，家長們往往只能看到經過粉飾後的校園。反之，美國國際學校歡迎家長在百忙中抽空到其校舍考察，校方不會故意修飾，而是讓家長親身耳聞目擊學校日常課堂的實況，
老師和學生以及學生和學生之間的互動又是如何，好讓家長對學校有持平客觀的認識。

我本人並沒有孩子。不過，友人之子女正在美國國際學校就讀，所以有幸夥同她結伴到該校考察。當然，也同樣參加了其他學校的開放日。本人以多年的外國教育經驗虛心而論，留言板上的留言雖可作參考，可是，將子女的學業建基於此，未免太危險了。對方可能只是道聽塗說，自己根本沒有親身了解過 ; 又或因其子女並未能考進，才會在留言板貼上以偏蓋全的論點。
個人多次的親身視察及直接了解學校反而更為可靠。譬如透過跟學校的校長和教職員傾談、跟在場的家長及學生了解、檢查該校學生的設施、在公開試的成績及師資的優劣，與及研究該校的課程、教學理念與教學模式是否適合你的子女，方能更準確地為他們作選校的決定。Good luck!

我家小孩算幸運，確有其他主流offer....因時間緊迫及失預算情況下，當時我們並沒有及時去申請其他IS學位，當最後決定還是送小孩去IS時絕大部份申請都已截止了，唯有AIS還接受申請，我便立即向校方申請，誰知校方立即邀請本人及小孩先參觀學校及觀課後再另行安排面試，透明度極高，並給予足夠時間考慮清楚是否合適，值得一讚。
這是我們首次接觸AIS，感覺非常好，參觀過程偷快，於觀課時，本人有把見到的、疑惑的都一一向校方代表或校長詢問，即見、即問、即答，校方的答覆都令我感到正面的surprise ，無論態度及精神都跟我以前參觀過或參與過的面試大不同，多次去AIS所見到的細節實在太多，在此不好囉嗦佔版位，如有興趣可PM再分享

sharons 不必客氣。我十分欣賞你在為貴子女選擇學校前，願意花那麼多時間和精神去謹慎地搜索資料。本人曾在北美洲從事教育工作多年，樂意跟閣下分享一些小資料。
一間真正的國際學校會將international mindedness 的價值觀反映在其學校使命上。多元的文化色彩也會在師生們的跨國代表性中展現。(e.g. School won’t be dominated or favors only one nationality in its selection process.)。開辦IB課程的學校每年需要向國際文憑組織繳交昂貴的年費，授課的老師也須每年在就課其間到海外受訓，故這些學校的學費會相對比沒有開辦IB課程的學校為高。
無論是IB 或非IB學校，假如有提供高中課程，應該具備一班全資格的團隊 (school counselors) 負責為學童在本地以及世界各地報考大學提供升學輔導。若果家長打算考慮為孩子日後到美國升讀大學而鋪路，那麼讓他們在沿用美式課程的學校就讀會比較合適，因為那些學校制定的課程，本質上都為學生應考PSAT 以及SAT 公開試作準備。 家長應該仔細查看每間學校的畢業生過往幾年的表現和被大學取錄的數據，從而作出比較，為子女選校作精明的判斷。

Unlike most international schools, American International School do not have debenture requirements. Also they do not have English Intensive Program or Learning Support classes which means students admitted to AIS have to reach their minimum US standards and have no learning behavioural problems. One of my neighbour's daughter used to go to AIS, now is studying in a top law school in UK (she was accepted to a couple very good schools in HK and US as well). I have visited their school a few times and children are generally polite, courteous and showed good discipline from their teachers. I am a big supporter and will definitely apply to AIS when my kid grows older!

用家朋友的侄女也是一直在AIS 就讀，朋友說美國的Top 5 大學已收了她， 而小女孩現在選了法國頂級大學，因小女孩想深造2年法文再返美國完成大學課程，小女孩只有16歲，是拔尖的，16歲入大學喔！朋友還說 AIS 懂栽培有天份的小朋友，叫我放心比小女去讀，我當然沒有妄想女兒能被拔尖，小小年紀，能開心偷快地學習，享受校園生活就滿足了

曾經有一IB 制IS有相類似情況，當時用家爸爸話主要原因係多數成績好的同學於第9、10班時已選擇到海外升學，有些甚至於12班前已被拔尖，因此留下來應考的並未能反映真實成績，未知AIS的情況有否相同？有人知道嗎？
作者: konimama 時間: 14-3-1 17:29
我可以評一評。我兩個仔之前都係AIS讀，讀左年幾grade 1 junior & grade 1, 現在轉了去英基了。
老實講，我個人覺得美國國際好d，因為班人數少d, class teacher 兩年來兩個仔的都caring d, 同學同家長都bonding 好d。
轉校，因為個個都講英基是神校，所以佢收我，我轉！再者，英基平好多，每隻平幾千，有數得計。
我都唔明白呢到bk的舊評，全部好差，差的可能是講緊班大仔，中學以前好多都是其他本地中學轉過去，不過隨著更多人追捧國際學校，可能中學部都無咁易入。其實我見間間國際學校都風氣開放，自由自在，女同學迷你裙又化妝，男仔頭髮點都得，不會短髮整齊，有些家長會comment此為校風差，不止AIS如是，其實英基呀，澳洲國際呀，都係一樣。本人住得極近某英基中學，日日都見班情侶如何痴纏。
如你BUY international school，無亦應buy埋人地學校教學方法同自由的風氣囉。
AIS其實數學好過英基，以前阿仔日日教JUMP MATH, 一人一本厚練習教書，英基是沒有的。應是PYP的原故。
你信這套，就要相信及接受。

ESF的不是債卷，是 refundable capital levy, 只是二萬五，同其他國際學校的幾十萬同幾百萬無得比。一年所蝕的利息只有一千二百五左右。不明白為何二萬五 RCL 都成為重要考慮？
還有，而家ESF是有政府津貼，無理平不過AlS。但計埋AlS的 non refundable levy, ESF 應平上不少。

作者: seeker.email 時間: 14-3-1 21:13 標題: 回覆：AIS 美國國際學校
建議你看看英基的網頁，裡面有很詳盡的資料。据我理解，簡單來說普通申請人只需付申請費，如果校方邀請你去面試，而你的面試又成功了的話，你只需付一個可退還的deposit ($25000) 和 預繳部分學費 （$10000）就可以留位，沒有其他類似債卷的款項需要支付。倘若個別申請人想爭取較高的取錄機會，可考慮買nomination right 而取得面試，面試成功後而又入讀的代價就是$500000（應該就是你提及的「債卷」，但是這其實不是債卷），但是普遍的人都不是以這個途徑申請的，所以不是每個學生都要付$500000。另外，政府停止資助後預計會加的學費，在英基的網頁都會找到，你可以查一查，好像是百分之二十左右。

作者: konimama 時間: 14-3-1 22:35
英基無債卷架～ 2萬5係可以refund，你唔讀就可拿回的。學費上年仲係6千幾，AIS已成9千。又要比書簿費。但英基一毫子書簿費都無。條數點計都係英基抵。
我都好唔捨得AIS, 我兩個小朋友更加啦，成日都約舊同學同埋話要返學校搵friend。
你講那個50萬的Nomination right是唔可以拿回，亦不是人人要買，買左呢，你可以打尖不用留在waiting list比你interview先，英基係有位才叫你in, 有得in如你pass就一定收，所以好想打尖才考慮買nomination right啦。

(konimama please feel free to answer in regards to what you see from your school)
Most people over generalize ESF as one school, which is definitely not the case.
If you go to Glenealy primary, most kids are Caucasian. If you go to Kowloon junior primary, from what i heard close to half the population are from an Indian background. The Tsing Yi kindergarten which my son currently attends has a good mix of Asians including koreans, mainlanders, indians, and yes, quite a bit of locals. Just a few Europeans.
The quality of the teachers too varies from school to school :)

...
I just spent 5 mins checking. ESF kindergarten has a refundable debenture of only $7000!!! Where did you get the 12K non refundable debenture from?
From web site:
Taking up a Place
The securing of a place after an offer has been made requires (1) the purchase (at a cost of HK$7,000) of a refundable debenture and (2) payment in advance of the first month's school fees.
If a child is withdrawn from the kindergarten prior to the commencement of the academic year, the first month's school fees will not be refunded and the debenture will not be redeemed unless two months' advance written notice is provided to the kindergarten.
Refundable Debenture
One refundable debenture must be acquired for each child attending the kindergarten before entry of such child into the kindergarten.
The refundable debenture will be redeemed on the earlier of: (a) the date the child (for whom this debenture was acquired) graduates from the kindergarten, which is normally at the end of K2, or (b) the expiry of 2 months' notice in writing to the kindergarten of the child's withdrawal from kindergarten provided that all fees due to ESL have been fully paid at that date. If neither of the above is satisfied then this debenture will not be redeemed.

I don't know much about Beacon Hill, but basically if you want to find out the ethnic backgrounds of the students, just look at the community within that catchment area.

Haha, really? Perhaps you're referring to HKIS, West Island School etc., those rich international schools at the south side of Hong Kong Island?

Oh,,, it is really too bad....
"...........Police confirmed the school had not informed them about the drug offences, and they were investigating."...........
A police source went as far as saying it was the school's duty to report the matter to the force, and that failing to do so could have "major ramifications". The source said: "If they have kept the confiscated drugs they are in possession of evidence illegally. And if they have destroyed the drugs they have illegally destroyed evidence. It's that serious.".
"There was a snowball effect, where over the course of three weeks, 46 students in high school were called into the office for interrogation and 11 were later expelled. It is still unclear how many were suspended."

Our daughter did the Playgroup assessment last month and she got accepted. However she applies for EC2 so we have to wait until an opening comes up.

My daughter too. But I really wonder whether the school put all children in waiting list and ask the parents to pay the deposit, any one knows???? I am still struggling to pay the deposit or not.

妳家小孩不是去年或今年已升小一嗎？MCS 叩門成功嗎？

yes, my elder daughter is P.1 now in a private local school, not in MCS. MCS declares 無叩門位. However, my elder one doesn't like the local school as she studied in international kindergarten before. I will apply international school next year for her. Therefore, my younger one will not study in local school and hopefully she can help her elder sister.

The American way
Nia Tam
Tuesday, June 03, 2014
Think America and you tend to think big. But not the American International School in Hong Kong - where small is considered premium.
The sense of community is strong when you have a student population of around 820. Head of school Cameron Fox said: "Our school is relatively small in size, so you can find a strong sense of family here where everyone knows one another. We are keen to shape and mold AIS into a school that gives every student the educational and personal experience we value and believe in."
The school, which was founded in Hong Kong in 1986, uses a US standards-based program for students from early childhood through Grade 12.
Elementary school principal Tanya Sweeney hopes to nurture students to be engaged, curious and compassionate. She said: "Our elementary program is aimed at strengthening our students' communication skills. They become proficient in all aspects of literacy including reading, writing, speaking and listening."
Recent additions to the curriculum are engineering and technology initiatives. Students use the K'inex building construction system to design and engineer machines to solve everyday problems. They also learn to create their own computer programs.
The transition period from elementary school to middle school, and then to high school, is crucial in the development of any child.
Pamela Smith, middle school principal, said that it is a delicate period both physically and mentally so the middle school program is designed to
cater to the unique educational needs during these years. She said: "We aim to challenge students and encourage them to find their own path toward success. It is an important quality for youngsters to develop at this stage."
When they move into high school, the aim is to broaden their outlook. High school principal Mike Wing said: "We view global citizenship as a key characteristic of our curriculum. Our Grade 9-12 students join the High School Adventure Week, which gives them unique outdoor educational opportunities, broadens their understanding and appreciation of our world and cultivates a sense of cultural awareness."
A group of science students recently flew to Malaysia to start a project with the World Wide Fund for Nature to work on protecting wildlife in the region. "They learned how to support endangered animals and how the animals are returned to the wild. They also learned a lot about the local culture," Wing said.
The school also prides itself on its strong extracurricular program. Wing said: "We have seasonal inter-mural and varsity sports teams. There is also a wide range of opportunities, including visual and performing arts and special interest clubs."
Trevor Smith, a Grade 12 student who recently won the Best Delegate Award at a Model United Nations conference, believes that AIS has provided him with opportunities to take part in social issue discussions. "It was a wonderful experience to exchange thoughts and ideas and look deeper into global issues."
Smith has received acceptances to top US universities including Cornell University, New York University and University of California, Berkeley.

We are planning to move back to US in about 2-3 years. My daughter is in local kindergarten K3 now, thinking about AIS.
It will be an easier transition for her if she studies in AIS, but is it doesn't matter where she will study for the next 2 years because she will be back to US anyway.

Teachers will mainly focus on seeing children's response when they question and also see children how to play with others during interview
