請問那間學校

紅紅

雖然k2先考慮報IS是比較難，但也不是冇可能，要試吓先知，唔試就機會0。

我女兒也是在LS讀K2中途先決定轉IS的，當時身邊各人也説機會很微，講左好多失敗嘅例子俾我聽，但我唔理，照報名，就算d學校打電話去時同我們講已full, 我們也insist要school tour, 因為我覺得只要爭取到機會見到admission team, 就有機會入讀，結果成功了！所以唔好理成功率有幾多，如果真系好想入IS, 報左先算。

我都想比佢重讀一年，但現在的學校不提供此安排。

"現在的學校不提供(重讀)此安排。" You're talking about your child's current LS, right? For our boy's IS it is possible. Heard from upper management that 3 kids from the same teacher, all dec born, opted for repeating Reception (k2) this year. It really depends on the child, the family, and the teacher's recommendation.


However, for application purposes you must apply according to the year of birth (or whichever age bracket the child falls under for that particular school), even if the child is born Dec 31 (or August 31). Someone's gotta be the youngest, right? Once the child is in their system, then you can work with the teachers around it.


So no, you can't do k3 then Year 1, because the school would not accept the child. She'd be too old to apply for y1 by then.

謝謝你的提醒！明白了！小女是細B，11月出世的，所以真的要打電話去問下。

If I were you, I would submit the application to ESF by next Wed first and think about the details later.

老實說，k2先考慮報IS已經好遲，如樓上posts所講，mass intake miss 左，好難入，仲要等讀埋k3真係難上加難，唔係話報邊間考邊間就一定考得到入去，要行IS呢條路，一定要有back up plan。

just a gentle reminder, some IS are very strict on year of birth, even your kid has a late birthday, you still have to apply base on your kid's year of birth, so it maybe a bit disadvantage in that sense.

大部分IS都係K2之後直接入讀，但有少數唔係，例如CAIS，這間學校行加拿大制，讀完K3先考，幾年後有新校社， ...

If my memory search me right, CAIS also provides AP program, which is a US curriculum.

如果你女不是流利英語，現在才轉國際有未必會收，因為呢一兩個月要interview了，你現在轉英文未必趕得到。 ...

真係，啟思對你來說，係一個幾好的選擇。啟思吾會好多功課，愛心教學，有中學，K2尾報，吾算好難考，又符合你budget！

我朋友當年就是心大心細，最終錯過了大部分IS的mass intake ，後悔已經太遲。

以往一直打算比小女由幼稚園直升上小學，從來沒留意其他國際學校。

但小女升上K2後，開始感受到學校對成績 ...

Also, if she is small b, would you consider defer her a year? Sometimes this is all the child need: a bit more time.

jolalee

Yes, plus many traditional IS' mass intake is at Reception, which is equivalent to K2. For those we had to apply when the child just started at k1. If you child is small B (like my boy) you can pick schools that accepts kids born Sept to Aug of the following year (instead of those going by the year of birth). Good luck!
