It's not exactly a debenture. It will be deducted against your final two mths's school fees.

If we quit before we start K2, will they still allow us to offset the debenture from the school fees?

Do you mean the school provides little exposure on Mandarin?

Kingston's problem is their primary campus is quite small and they don't have a middle school (well they have one but it's so far away).

Exactly. I am targeting esf, hkis and CIS. But seems that there aren't many choices for PN which is as good as kingston.

I am surprised that. With that said, Kingston seems is better given their strength in billigual.

Kingston is definitely more popular with their bilingual (English/ Putonghua) curriculum, but their school is in line with their popularity, especially the debenture!  If I am planning to let my child completes his kindergarden with them, the debenture will seem slightly more acceptable.  However my ultimate goal is SIS, so if we are lucky enough to secure a spot with SIS, we will choose to leave after he completes K1.  In this case, the debenture which only spreads for two years (PN & K1) will seem extremely expensive, also taking the high school fee into consideration.  However if we are not considering the $ factor, Kingston's popularity in providing the bilingual learning environment is definitely our first choice.

I am surprised.  I thought Anfield is more "international" than "local".  Their emphasis on English is well known but what about Putonghua?

Tozero

Applied for k2 and attended interview with acting principal.I was surprised at the principal's sole English emphasis and lack of appreciation on other aspects of a child's strengths. Very old school style teaching reflective of the principal's philosophy.  Staff doesnt seem to be very happy and students very Disciplined, more like a corporation than a kindergarden. In my personal opinion, if you would prefer traditional teaching, disciplined and your child "好好睇睇"

Which primary schools do kids from Anifeld Kindergarten go to? Thanks.

That's good and it's just like a deposit.

Yes you just wait for their reply.   Debenture is 13k but will be deducted from the last 2 months of school fee
Make sure you will give them 2 months notice if you are planning to leave before completion of K2.

Does it mean I just need to apply n then wait for response? Any debentures required?

They need debentures in the amount $13xxx. Non refundable or transferable. It's paid when you accept the offer.

No interview is needed.  They will usually send acceptance letter in January if space is available.

May I know from any mamas what the application procedure of K1 will be? I read from the web that I need to fill out the form and submit with some documents but there is no information on the interview process, if any.
