So the new policy stating that Kids from ESF KGs no more have priority to ESF primary. Am I correct??
My boy will be going to Anfield Nursey. I wonder if I should let him finish Anfield KG or apply to ESF KGs for a 'smooth' transition to ESF primary. Please help.

你好,新的ESF政策從明年入學的K1開始,即係今年8月入學的小朋友是最后一批有priority的。當然,他們從來就不保證100%入讀primary,聽聞平均成功升讀primary的比例在八九成,剩余的小朋友考到別的國際小學。

如果你今年才申請,明年入讀,其實讀anfield還是ESF還是boxhill,都無太大分別喇。但有一點唔同是,ESF kinda是IB課程,爾anfield同boxhill都是英國國家課程。

Thank you very much! It's very informative.
I look on their website and seem like there are four ESF kindergartens. Two in HK island and two in New Territories. so no kindergartens in Kowloon??
What other KGs stand a chance getting into ESF primary? what about Victoria and York? I gave up York interview for Anfield and kinda unsure about my choice now!

其實ESF幼稚園在港島只有一家,在hillside,另外三家都在新界,雅柏,青衣,烏溪沙。

如果一心想入ESF primary,你的決定是對的,我都放棄了york的國際班offer,因它始終是有名的本地學校,不可算為IS kinder,爾anfield則不同,是純種IS。每年如果報名人數超過一定數量,ESF primary就會派人去anfield等學校參觀。

另外我知道kingston也有不少小朋友考入ESF primary。SC同VIC都有考入RC(ESF PIS)的

其實我之前都有差不多問題,在未拿到ESF幼稚園的offer前,在國際版咨詢了大家如讀york是否可升IS小學,你可參考下:

As someone whose child is in an ESF kindie (Hillside) and who has been now accepted into an ESF primary for 2013/14, I would definitely advocate going this route again if ESF was my target primary.

I find that ESF kindie (at least Hillside) does a superb job of priming a child to enter ESF primary, not just in terms of preparing them academically to pass the interview (which admittedly is not that strenuous!) but also in the way they socialize them in interacting with their peers, responding to the teachers etc.

Because the kindie is very attuned to what a child needs when entering Year One at ESF schools, I find I am not worried at all about my son entering Primary this coming fall. Moreover, my son already feels very attached to the ESF school name and therefore is not at all stressed about transitioning to a new primary school (as he feels it is just the big boy extension of his current kindie). Plus many of his friends will be going to the same primary, thereby further reducing the stress of his transition to primary.

IB文憑,是國際文憑,基本上有著名大學的國家都承認,IB畢業生考入的大學所屬主流國家包括英、美、加、澳、日、韓、HK等。

你提到的英國國家課程,我只知anfield(安菲爾)在用這個課程

Thank you very much! I live in Kowloon so I'm thinking the possibility of sending my son to ESF KGs.....after attending to Anfiled for just a year.....I know many schools are under "ESF" but I wonder...are they the same as IS???? I want my son to learn more chinese before sending him off to US for high school....Any comment on Chinese education in ESF system?? One of the reason I like ESF is the IB system!

Your kid still have some kind of priority this year isn't it? since he's going to ESF kiddle to ESF Primary 2013/2014. I heard that they may not have such priority next year...and my son is only 17 months now....

I just wonder, was it difficult for your son to get in ESF hillside? how was the mandarin preparation there?

ESF旗下:4間幼稚園、9間小學、5間中學、2間獨立運營的一條龍學校(1-13年級),全部都run IB,或者你都可到ESF官網去一探究竟。

至于中文水平,我只能說,今年收到的幼稚園合同當中明確寫著:PTH is simply for fun,爾Cantenese則根本不會用到。

明年起入讀ESF幼稚園的小朋友再無priority的情況下,入讀anfield幼稚園再考番ESF都是個不錯的選擇

Yes, it's true that there is no direct priority for ESF kindies (after this year's K1 intake) in terms of interviewing for ESF primaries. But the ESF kindies do have a strong relationship with the ESF primaries (eg. the current ESF Hillside principal was previously VP of Bradbury) and also understand very well what the ESF primary schools are looking for. Therefore I still think if ESF primary is your target, an ESF kindy is still a very good (if not best) choice.

Hillside is getting harder and harder to get into. Many Caucasian parents on HK Island are now choosing Hillside so competition is keen. (I know they did away with the category 1/2 system but I still believe English speaking Caucasian families will continue to be favored in the selection.)

However if Chinese is one if your priorities, then ESF would not be a natural choice. Hillside only offers one Chinese session a week and there's no introduction at all to reading/writing Chinese characters. Most ESF primaries offer one- hour of Chinese 3-4 times a week and kids aren't streamed into pathways (easy/medium/hard depending on the child's Chinese background) in Year 1. Personally I supplement my son's Chinese learning outside (with Better Chinese and Earth Village classes)  but have no immediate expectations of my son's Chinese ability.

Thank you both of you! I'll really look into the curriculum of ESF and think about if that should be the target....I just really like the IB system...I think KCIS has started the IB system a few years ago and it's becoming increasingly popular school. What do you think about KCIS compared with the ESF?
