About choosing a school

My baby was born in December 2016 and we are living in Tsuen Wan. Which international kindergarten can we apply now? We are targeting the school which has kindergarten and primary sections.

Not this year, we did ours 2 years ago at the WKS campus.I was playing train with my son and he spoke to me too, and then an assessor came and joined, before reading to him.

I am not surprised to hear that. In fact, ESF prefers assessing the interaction between parents and their kids. They want to know the eng standard of both parents and kids. They will interact with kids proactively while the parents cannot make the kids talk or speak a word.

I had the same experience with TY campus last year. And got rejected.

I did see some parents went out of their way to make their children talk in front of the interviewers.

I did K1 interview in TY campus last month, no assessor talk to any children in our group, and just briefly asked parent 3 questions in 2 minutes. That’s why I said it’s really by luck.

I don’t think it’s sheer luck to get into ESF kinder, you might said for those without priorities, getting an interview is mainly due to luck, but they do reject kids after interviews, and teachers can still choose by observations. BTW during our interview, the teachers did talk a lot to my child. Nevertheless, my advice is, if you got no other priority, 入到ESF 幼稚園一定入左先。

I’m not too sure if this is true for all campus, cuz back then the assessor read my kid a story and asked questions about pictures in the book.

There is no priority for ESF K1 even you join ESF playgroup. I would say entering to ESF K1 is really by luck, as the teachers did not talk  and interact to the kids during K1 interview.

Also, even the child is offered with a K1, the child will be priority 7 out of 9 to get into esf primary school only, you can check on the ESF website
