This is a new school opened in August 2021 in Hung Hom. Anyone know more information about this school? Or have already applied?

Did u joined their open day before? I did not apply but joined their open day before.
It is a tiny school at ground floor of a building. It does not have a feeling of a school but rather like a big tutor center. I am bit concern about experience of their teacher and the school as well, since they don't have past experience in operating a school. I also concern about their financial power to run the school.
Why are you interested in the school? As a step-stone to another international school? If I have choose, it will not be my first choice. I will prefer ESF, FIS, KIS, JIS than it, which have similar school fee.

第一次聽到呢間學校名就諗起"周六福". 認真的，唔好做白老鼠，點知佢係唔係另一間Mount Kelly.

We went for an interview and a school tour. We got an offer after 20 hours, so it was a quick offer. Then the admission whatsapp me at 1030pm at night and asked if I have any questions 
Yes I agreed it doesn’t feel like school at all and not well established yet. So I wasn’t too excited about the school. But want to know if anyone have comment about it since no one ever open a post about this school. 
Did you apply any of the schools u mentioned?

九龍區呢個價錢我寧願揀AIS，起碼唔會執笠先。
大圍Anfield 都係British curriculum，唔係遠好多。

I am not a parent there but I am aware my child’s ex classmate went there. The fee is reasonable, small class, mostly taught in English.
It feels like similar to Invictus. Coz they don’t have many facilities guess they can charge lower fees.

I think the headmaster is the investor as well. The most advantage of it is small class, other IS usually have around 30 students per class. I think it will accept most (if not all) students at this moment.
I took a look on AIS before as well, I think it is better choice as other pointed out. Just a little bit more expenisve than those in my list. I applied 5 IS and got 2 offers finally. One of it is in the list. The other one is good as well but much more expensive, so i rejected.
Some IS will only be able tp give u an offer on last minute (like in July/Aug). If you are more flexiable and not already paid too much on other school, it will be a good offer.

At least they make an effort to make up the fact they don’t have outdoor playground. I think it’s important for the kids to get sun exposure. I understand you must be considering this school for a reason. Not sure if they allow non existing students to join their Easter camp/ summer camp for instance. It may help to get up close to the school.

I applied for year 1. I mostly only consider those with "cheap" price (ie ~130k per year)ESF: Good comments and "cheap" on secondary school compare to others IS. The disadvantage is very hot and hard to get in.
FIS: 2 campus to choose and quite "international".
KIS: "Very cheap" and consider to be easy to get it. But not as internaional as others.
JIS: One class per grade only, no secondary school.
ICS: Good for someone with religious.
ASHK: "Expensive" but with very small class (~15 ppl).
For some IS within similar price, they already have swimming pool, carteen, playgound etc. And for small school, it is hard and expensive to hire specialists for teaching subjects like PE, music, art, foreign language etc.

Other disadvantages of a small school include difficulty to arrange schoolbus routes and lunch services. Socially, you have only 10-20 kids per grade to play with, it’s all or none whether you can find good friends. Not to mention the lack of sports team, choir and orchestra etc. and you won’t expect to have much ECA choices.
And the school still need to hire school nurse, counsellor, special learning teacher, IT supports etc I wonder if the school can run at optimal level or they will just omit some of the services.
130K per year is really not that cheap, I would rather consider ESF/KIS etc. in fact some ESF on HK side is not too difficult to get in.

Their IB results is very good thats why it is much hard to enter.
JIS and ASHK- i did check out but its just too far to commute from HK Island everyday.
ICS - most of my friends lived on HK Island commute to ICS.
KIS - i went and visited. It doesn’t feel like a international school that im expecting.
Im thinking of DSC, my friend said its a better school now, as its in the chow tai fook education group.

No ah, previously mentioned not a parent there :) my child went to a school without outdoor and I feel it makes a difference when there is sun exposure.

This school’s investors do not have any educational background…They are just the copy cat of Mount Kelly. People said that they are not financially stable and owe employees’ salary…Their management is extremely poor and turnover rate is high, definitely not a good sign for a school. Extremely small so called “international school” but instead a private school. 掛羊頭賣狗肉

I don't know that much about the school.But I really detest people flaunting the oxbridge name. Neither Oxford or Cambridge University is sponsoring this school. So this has nothing to do with Oxford or Cambridge University.
You should just evaluate this school like a normal international school.

Small class size may be good especially for some kids with special needs, but it also has disadvantages, eg socialising (imagine only 7 boys/girls to play with), grouping for projects, though purely national curriculum might involve less in group work. This school also accepts ESL students, for a small class size with a few ESL, will the language environment be good enough? Kids learn from each other as much as from teachers.
Also the small school size and lack of facilities will limit the choice of ECA/sports teams. ECA is an important part of international school culture which is provided free in many more expensive IS, and even during pandemics ECA are still carried on. Not to mention the lack of space for physical activity. All these to consider if you are looking for an all-round development not just a tutorial class for academics.

if small school, i prefer PLKIS at Tinhau. the school is under PLK, so no need to worry about financial issue.

My child studied at Oxbridge British School before.
In the first year, the school changed 3 teachers within 3 months. In the second year, her class teacher was a Music teacher and she didn't have any education diploma, even the basic qualifications of a teacher.
I found that my child was in a daydream at school every day and couldn't learn anything.
But now, I am so grateful that we found a school that is suitable for her, she likes going to school and learning a lot.
In addition, this school overcharges parents and we have complained about this to the Education Bureau. I don't want other parents to be deceived, so I leave a message here.

The school increased the fee a lot (14K + 2.5K levy). Good that you did not join.
