Any comments? I have applied for a Year 10 place in the skl in Sept 2014. However, I intend to study aboard and am offered a place in a college in UK. Should I stay in HK or go to UK?

YCIS secondary section is not as strong. Do you have other options in HK?

I am not sure whether there are still places in other schools but I have been asking. Hopefully I can get into an international school or else I may go to UK.
BTW, what international schools do you think are elite?

Which UK school is a valid question. People do say if your ideal is top UK universities the best path is local school -> UK secondary school (a good one) -> UK University. However, one must also consider the consequences of sending a child oversea by herself at too young an age. Life is give and take and what everyone's looking for is different. For our family we do not consider UK universities as our family connections are not there, so apologies I cannot provide any comments on this subject except for what I heard on this forum previously, which is already stated above.

For Int'l Schools in HK, the academically strong ones at a secondary level includes the following: (I've categorized them in accordance to curriculum)
UK / IB : GSIS, FIS, ESF, Kellet
US / Cdn / IB : HKIS, CDNIS
Others / IB: CIS, SIS, AISHK

As some IS runs IB at upper secondary level but UK or Another curriculum at lower grades, I have placed the schools that uses British or similar curriculums as "UK", those with US/CDN roots as "US" and those uses curriculums of their own design or from their own country as others. Please don't mind me if anyone disagrees with my divisions. Feel free to discuss as well.

Thank you for your detailed information. It helps a lot.

However, things get even more sophisticated because I know I have the chance to be the discipline prefect in my current school next year. I am struggling whether I should stay in my current school, study in an international school or study aboard.

Anyways, what are your plans? Are you going to send your children to other countries when they finished secondary?

Queen Ethelburga's and St. Francis.
If I decide to study aboard, I would like to study in one of the above schools for my GCSE course and join another school which is more academic-successful in Sixth form. The followings are recommended by her tutors who study in the UK.

CLC
St Catherine's
Sevenoaks
Brighton College
St Swithun's
Queenswood
Badminton

What are your plans? Are you going to send your children to other countries when they finished secondary? ...Do you think that other countries', despite UK's education are better?

My son is only 3.5 years old right now, so we wouldn't really know for sure. He's both Australian & Canadian citizens (daddy Auz, mommy Cdn), and my husband's entire family is in Australia, so the probability of studying in either country is much higher than the others as it is financially sound. Of course if he gets into an Oxbridge or Ivy League that's another story, and we'd gladly fund it, but apparently you need to plan it from very early on to get into one (unless the child is naturally gifted), so i don't think that would actually happen. He just got into a decent through-train International school, so if things run smoothly (fingers crossed), he would complete his IBDP in Hong Kong and apply to Universities wherever he chooses by then. Yes, it is their future so we're there to make sure the technicalities are done correctly and they reach for their own dreams.

Personally I do not endorse sending kids abroad too early. I have seen enough young people going down the wrong path due to loneliness or the lack of guidance (teen couples living together, unwanted pregnancy, heavy smoking or substance abuse, gambling habits, car accidents resulting in death etc. I've seen it all from all those "VISA" classmates). I'm not saying we still need to hold their hands at age 15-18, but simply being there physically can sometimes be sufficient moral support. Again, every child and every family is different. Despite what is said, from what i read here, sending the child to UK for secondary and applying for University from there should be the better path academically. It is a tough choice for her and for your family. Wishing you all the best in your decisions.

p.s. YCIS in comparison should not be a better option, but what we've got is heresay. Why don't you find out from the school which Universities their students graduate to? (and do so with the UK secondary schools you've listed) That would give you better vision for cross comparison purposes.

Well said!

Thank you very much for giving such excellent advice on how to make the right decision. It is nice to know that there are still people like you out there to offer a helping hand. I agree that children should be given support and supervision throughout childhood.I will take your advice and bear it in mind.

Good luck and wish your child can reach his dreams.

Thank you!

I am currently studying in Holy Family Canossian College. I intend to go to a new school because I want to get prepared for studying aboard.
However, I finally decide to stay in HK.
