Comments on ESF kindergarten (Sheung Wan)

OKmom

Is it a good kinder? The campus looks small from outside,  any outdoor playground. Are the teachers native speakers? Are most students Asians? Do all students speak good English? How about Mandarin learning?

Pls share.

Hi, JennyBaba
In which kinder/school is your kid studying?

The only worry you should have is whether your kid will be accepted by the ESF kinder.

An expat from US working in a famous financial institution told me two weeks ago that his kids had applied to the ESF kinder and primary but were placed on the waiting list. No interview has been offered yet.

If you look at the turnover of HK stock market (increase from ~HK$10B  three years ago to HK$150B a day), you will know how many financial institutions (From all over the world and China) are setting up in HK. Most of them send their kids to IS so you should understand the places available to local kids are fewer and fewer.

For local Chinese, graduates from ESF kinder will have a higher priority than those who are not.

Just my two cents.
