French International School vs Australian International School vs Singapore Inte

We are considering to apply for one of these schools.
From our view point, SIS seems to be very close to  local school like providing rather difficult courses.  From what we see in AIS, the students are also quite ok.  How about FIS?  It seems that they are very free .  We know nothing about this school.  Can any parents provide some information to us about this school?  How about its international academic results?

Re: French International School vs Australian International School vs Singapore

Dear Adam's Mum

Why you also consider these three schools?  Any supporting reasons? Did you hear anything from any parents talking about FIS? How are their personal feeling towards this school?

For the debenture for AIS, they got three types of debentures.  The preferential debenture is 400,000, the corporate debenture is 150,000 , and the personal debenture is 60,000.

For the FIS, the personal debenture is 53,000 whilst corporate debenture is 97,000.

For the SIS, the personal debenture is 60,000 while corporate debenture is 100,000.

Re: French International School vs Australian International School vs Singapore

My feeling is that academically, FIS is not as good as SIS but it is mainly due to the difference in curriculum. However, if I have to choose between two, I will choose FIS since if you compare SIS with local school, there is no much different in terms of the pressure on academic excellence and it destroy the purpose of attending international school in Hong Kong.

FIS has a very long waiting list. While you can apply SIS the same as the year of enrollment, you need to apply FIS virtually 3 years in advance if you do not hold corporate debenture and French passport.

Dear TeddyBear 2006

Thank you for your advice. I have the same feeling with you towards SIS.  Therefore, I was so hestitated about that.  

For the FIS, have you heard anything about this school on the areas like the conduct of the students coming from FIS?  Anyone taking drugs?   Will they perform well?  

For the AIS, what will you think?  

Thank you very much for sharing what you think.

OKMa,

Wow, your son has been accepted by all three schools.  It is impressive.  How did you prepare him for this?

Re: French International School vs Australian International School vs Singapore

OK mom,

As my friend told me, she just received the updated form from AIS and they said they will release the first round result on Sept but she also applies last Jan. She rang to AIS and they said they have not sent out any offer.

So When did you receive letters from AIS and what class is your kid in? Does he need interview od you buy the corporate debnature?

Re: French International School vs Australian International School vs Singapore

Dear cari

Sorry I did not prepare anything for the interview.  From the day one when he was interviewed for the local schools, I was so nervous and tried to prepare for him.  However, getting more and more interviews, I did not prepare anything ,just saying that we were bringing him to different places for fun playing.  My son is ok for this, maybe he is used to be alone in different environments, even when he was one year old.

Re: French International School vs Australian International School vs Singapore

OKMa,

Thanks for sharing your experience.  My girl is a bit shy.  What I am doing now is also taking her to a lot of different places to play so she will be used to different environment.   I wonder sometime if I am pushing too much.

French International School vs Australian International School vs Singapore Inte

My choice FIS>SIS>AIS.  FIS is good in academic and is hard to get in.  Children can study upto F7 and learn native English accent.  You can learn Chinese in SIS but they follow Singapore syllabus. Some Chinese words are not common in HK.  

It totally depends on which style of school that you prefer.  How long do you expect to travel because they are in different location.

Re: French International School vs Australian International School vs Singapore

Dear Smallmama
Thanks so much for your advice.  It seems that you do not favour AIS. Is there anything you heard about this school? Do you have child studying in any of the schools?
For the travelling, we are always prepared to move anywhere we can.

Re: French International School vs Australian International School vs Singapore

Dear Ribbon
For the details of the interview, I really knew nothing as my son did not tell me about the details when he was in the classrorom with the teacher.  But heard from the other parents, the interview for this school was not easy at all.  
If you like this school, if you want to be one of the students there for 2007, you have to apply asap.  Once your child was borne, actually you had to apply for him if you like this school. Even you apply now, it is already late. , you still have to wait for long long time until confirmation as they will only interview the child when there is vacancy and according to the time when you submitted the form.  Good luck to you, unless those in front of you in the waiting list all fail in the interview, nor all of them turned down the offer, otherwise, you will have to wait for long long time. That means, the earlier you apply , the earlier you would be interviewed when there are vacancies.  In the reception year, they only have 2 classes,  and in each class, they only have 2 seats for Chinese.  (as per what I heard from other parents) And, unless your French is execellent, there is no chance  to join there in the primary year nor secondary year.  That is, after reception class, they won't accept the  student who does not know French.

Re: French International School vs Australian International School vs Singapore

Ribbon,

my son is 3 years old as well, we submit the application form for French Int'l School (Reception Class) last year 2006 for 2007 Sept. class, their interview is in March 2007, but we still need to put on waiting list for an interview, becoz we are not hold French Passport.  Their waiting list is very long, so you are very late if you submit the form this month, but you can try or contact the school secretary to discuss with her for more details.

I heard some mum said once their kid born , they submit their application form, so i think i am abit late as well.  i only know they are very hard to get in, competition are big, the kid's english must be native and should be very smart during the interview.

Apart form French Int'l, I have applied JIS, GSIS and CNDIS for my son, just to incase he can't obtain a place from FIS.  

which kindergarten does you son attend??
