No Chinese language?  How about the student race population?

上次見到班約 Year 8 學生全是金頭髮、一個韓國人。

入學有一千萬、五百萬債券，有中文ECA課外活動。

Kellett 一班最多兩至三個半地的人。女班中大部份是英國人。學校全新，設施一流。債券也有最平十萬。

我個英國人老細既女係Kellett讀緊Year 2，佢住Happy Valley，自己湊夠6-7個小朋友搵保母車返九龍灣新campus，我問佢點解住咁遠都揀Kellett，佢話呢間少中國人，同埋係a real British school，所以之前ESF收左佢個女都放棄個offer，寧願讀Kellett。

我都聽到有放棄Harrow揀Kellet, 想問一下如果是你們的話會如何選擇?

No offense，Harrow是新校，未有track record，而且相對上較多中國人。而Kellett是傳統British school，收non native English speaker有限制，因此學校不會有太多中國人，一班一個起兩個止，英文程度是接近native，所以學校不會有同學說Cantonese。Kellett的A Level成績不錯，可以足夠升上排名高的英國大學。所以這兩間的話我會選Kellett。Just my personal opinion.

非常同意

clubmed

非常同意你說Kellett是一所real Britihsh school.

If the child will eventually be living and working in the UK, then Harrow may be a better choice, just for its namesake.

Harrow is a big name in UK which almost every Brit knows, but not many have heard of Kellet.

I know, I was talking about the perception of the average Briton living in UK {:1_1:}

Kellett在英國也有學校嗎?

No, Kellet is only in HK, but Harrow is a very famous school in UK. Established in 1572 and produced eight former British prime ministers, one of which was Winston Churchill. There is a reason why "Bok who comes" sent his son "Bok the melon" there {:1_1:}

Harrow International in HK isn't quite the same beast as Harrow School in UK, so I wouldn't say Harrow International is necessarily a better school than Kellet, but as far as fame is concerned, the name Harrow win.hands down.

謝謝你的資料， 個人認為， Kellett School 比Harrow國際化或是英國化得多， 香港Harrow太多内地及本地生了， 據聞是80%以上。 從我有一次在Kellett School的校車所見， 全車10多人裡面才得一個疑似是本地人，其餘的我可以肯定是英，美或其他白人， 剛看過Kellett School 的網頁， 看過學生的照片， 可以這樣說， 要找多個本地或中國的學生都比較困難。 請教一下， 要給孩子找一所較好的IS的話, Kellett School好嗎?

I believe you're right, Kellet and Harrow International are aiming at different types of families. Kellet is more for ex-pat British families who are likely to go home at some point, so they want for their children an education experience as similar to home as possible. Harrow International on the other hand is more for local and mainland families who are already at home but don't want a home style education for their children.

If your kid is a local, it may be very difficult to get in if they only admit one or two Chinese per class.
