If targeting RC(first choice), ICS, SJS, CKY, TYL, which kinder should I choose for 2013 academic year? I actually like boxhill's syllabus, and this kinder pays more attention on discipline and cares for kids
Boxhill is a good kinder with emphasis on discipline and some syllabus that would help in connection to local stream. Not very much though but much better than ESF. My son was accepted by ESF WKS in K1 but we decided to continue with Boxhill. One main reason was to buy an insurance on K3 seat in case my son couldn't get into RC. The teachers in Boxhill are caring. Mrs King and the teachers put in a lot of efforts in preparing the kids for interview in RC and Shatin Junior. My son is in RC now.
ESF Wks would leave you nowhere after K2 if u are not accepted by any Int'l school.
FYI, WKS acceptance rate by ESF & PIS is over 90% this year. Not sure about Boxhill, but I know some of them either got rejected or not even being interviewed.
