Any suggestions for IS except ESF & Canadian Int'l

My sister will move back to HK from Canada with her two kids, namely 9 & 4. Both of them were born in Canada. The older kid is in grade 4 and will be turning 10 in June. The little one is 4 and will be turning 5 in Oct. He is studying at a montessori kindergarten.

I have gathered some info about ESF & Canadian Int'l already.

Could anyone please give some suggestions? Many thanks.

The 1st round Y1 application process has almost completed and most of the schools have already sent out the acceptance letters.  

As you may have read the comments from this forum, the competition is quite keen this year, so the chance of getting in may be a bit difficult if you plan to apply for Aug admission this year.  But they have the overseas application process so you may want to check out.  

CDNIS is quite good too and they only start interview in Feb.  We are returnee from Canada too. I applied last August for reception class, got accepted but still on waiting list.  Heard from the admission officer that the opening of their 5 years old class is just 5 seats if no one withdraw.  But still worth to try.  

Hope it helps!

Oops, forgot to mention that you may also want to check out Renaissance College or Christian Alliance P.C. Lau Memorial International School (CAIS).  FYI, CAIS use Saskatchewan Curriculum.

Thanks a lot.

Guess I'll have to find out which school is still accepting overseas applications.

I worry a lot about the little one (4 year-old) cause he doesn't like to speak in English at all. He is attending a montesori kindergarten now and still reluctant to talk at school. Even his elder brother speaks a lot of English at his age...

Anyways, we have to have our fingers crossed.

Again, Bohemian, a big THANK YOU.
