The school increased the fee a lot (14K + 2.5K levy). Good that you did not join.

Thanks for your reply. My child ended up at local school as with got a good school thru the lucky draw.

My child studied at Oxbridge British School before.
In the first year, the school changed 3 teachers within 3 months.  In the second year, her class teacher was a Music teacher and she didn't have any education diploma, even the basic qualifications of a teacher.
I found that my child was in a daydream at school every day and couldn't learn anything.
But now, I am so grateful that we found a school that is suitable for her, she likes going to school and learning a lot.  
In addition, this school overcharges parents and we have complained about this to the Education Bureau. I don't want other parents to be deceived, so I leave a message here.

No school with an ounce of self esteem would call themselves oxbridge or Ivy.

Are you applying for year 2? Can I ask what other IS u applied? Yes their only advantage is small cl ...

Small class size may be good especially for some kids with special needs, but it also has  disadvantages, eg socialising (imagine only 7 boys/girls to play with), grouping for projects, though purely national curriculum might involve less in group work. This school also accepts ESL students, for a small class size with a few ESL, will the language environment be good enough? Kids learn from each other as much as from teachers.
Also the small school size and lack of facilities will limit the choice of ECA/sports teams. ECA is an important part of international school culture which is provided free in many more expensive IS, and even during pandemics ECA are still carried on. Not to mention the lack of space for physical activity. All these to consider if you are looking for an all-round development not just a tutorial class for academics.

I don't know that much about the school.But I really detest people flaunting the oxbridge name. Neither Oxford or Cambridge University is sponsoring this school. So this has nothing to do with Oxford or Cambridge University.
You should just evaluate this school like a normal international school.

This school’s investors do not have any educational background…They are just the copy cat of Mount Kelly. People said that they are not financially stable and owe employees’ salary…Their management is extremely poor and turnover rate is high, definitely not a good sign for a school. Extremely small so called “international school” but instead a private school. 掛羊頭賣狗肉

Yes. The tuition is attractive only.ESF is good too for the tuition too. But not easy to get offer, thats true too.
Their IB results is very good thats why it is much hard to enter.
JIS and ASHK- i did check out but its just too far to commute from HK Island everyday.
ICS - most of my friends lived on HK Island commute to ICS.
KIS - i went and visited. It doesn’t feel like a international school that im expecting.

Im thinking of DSC, my friend said its a better school now, as its in the chow tai fook education group.

Other disadvantages of a small school include difficulty to arrange schoolbus routes and lunch services. Socially, you have only 10-20 kids per grade to play with, it’s all or none whether you can find good friends. Not to mention the lack of sports team, choir and orchestra etc. and you won’t expect to have much ECA choices.
And the school still need to hire school nurse, counsellor, special learning teacher, IT supports etc I wonder if the school can run at optimal level or they will just omit some of the services.
130K per year is really not that cheap, I would rather consider ESF/KIS etc. in fact some ESF on HK side is not too difficult to get in.

I applied for year 1. I mostly only consider those with "cheap" price (ie ~130k per year)ESF: Good comments and "cheap" on secondary school compare to others IS. The disadvantage is very hot and hard to get in.
FIS: 2 campus to choose and quite "international".
KIS: "Very cheap" and consider to be easy to get it. But not as internaional as others.
JIS: One class per grade only, no secondary school.
ICS: Good for someone with religious.
ASHK: "Expensive" but with very small class (~15 ppl).

For some IS within similar price, they already have swimming pool, carteen, playgound etc. And for small school, it is hard and expensive to hire specialists for teaching subjects like PE, music, art, foreign language etc.
