Hi, any comments from this school? seems there’s not much discussion in this forum.
I have just received the offer for KG2. Initially, I had applied for the annual captital levy. However,they e-mail me and ask me to consider purchasing a debenture, in order to secure a place.
The debenture is a considerable amount,
HK$600,000
. And we are still waiting for results of Harrow and Malvern. Actually, I know the chance of Harrow is really slim.But is it worth to pay such a large amount to a new school?
Are there anyMoms with kids at ASHK (American School Hong Kong) at new Territories:
Do you like this school? Are kids happy to go to school? Are you satisfied with the curriculum?
Thanks

Have you visited the school for a school tour?
Is it worth to pay such a large amount to a new school? <<< no one can really answer that for you, and it is a matter of your choice.
According to their website, it is Non-transferable, and exempted from Annual Capital Fee for the first seven years of attendance.
From your post, it seems that it is a choice you can make, paying annual capital fee or pay the $600k.
I am guessing the best is talk to the school and address your questions, go visit for a school tour.
:)

also curious. ASHK vs Stamford - which to choose? ASHK's campus seems nicer.

The principal of ASHK is the former head of the Canadian International School and a lot of the teachers there are former teachers of Canadian International School, should be pretty good, I guess

the debenture has a 7 year depreciation schedule .... if you can choose, of course, don't take that offer

Initially, I choose the option of “Annual Capital Levy”. After the assessment, they said my son could secure the KG2 place once we pay the debenture . It just take one day for them to send out the result and I am curious that they look for who will eager to pay the debenture .
I know I haven’t got any foreign passport and the Education Bureau requires that they limit the number of Hong Kong passport holders to 30%. I am wonder why they could release the offer just one day after assessment.

Yes, waiting list...600K is quite a large sum , and we still waiting for the results of other schools, so we decline the debenture option.

佢跟本就未收夠學生，再試問可唔可以用返annual capital levy, 得到以下答覆
our leadership group have allowed for a staggered payment plan over two years.Let me know if that might suit you.
OMG, that mean they look for money instead of qualified students.....very disappointed

And their e-mail give me a bad impression.

My son is studying at Malvern now. He enjoys his school life very much. The class has around 15-17 students which is good for my son. The small class learning could let him get more concentrate on his daily lessons.

一般well established 的IS都不會咁做，佢地已經大把foreign passports 申請，所以不用「歧視」local passports, 你「有料」便會收你。

我完全接受 foreign passports 或者買左 debentures 有 priority, 但係咩原因我一定要買? 唔係同我講話買左有 priority, 而係話一定要買, 咁一係寫明, 明碼實價, 網頁個句 "not mandatory" 係寫比 foreign passport holders 睇既
由約去 school tour 到去現場睇都對呢間學校印象好, 但估唔到決定交表先咁樣, 或者有人會覺得我激動左, 但係真係感覺不良好
