Why do you want to change? Just curious if I have missed any points to consider for myself too.  :)

Because I don't live nearby, I just want my son to sleep more..

Agree with you that academic acquisitions can come later! What we buy Anfield for are their educatio ...

Honestly I am not an expert in this but I am judging based on my own belief and experiences.  In a place like Hong Kong, there is no way you won't know Chinese, coz there are Chinese characters everywhere, especially the fact that most of us speak Cantonese at home.  Even if some of us do not speak Cantonese at home, you can hear and are forced to know how to speak Cantonese in every part of Hong Kong.  I am not local but I can speak decent Cantonese now coz it is just so easy to pick up Cantonese here.  In my personal opinion, being able to speak, read and write simple Chinese is good enough.  There is no way Chinese can overtake English being the first international language.  You can challenge me on this but it will still remain as my strong belief.  In terms of language development, taking myself as example, I attended English schools since young, where all the other subjects were taught in English except Chinese (ie. Mandarin) lessons which were only one lesson (maybe 1 hour or so) per day.  At home, we speak Chinese with our parents.  Now I can speak, read and write Chinese, of course not up to the Chinese literature standard but good enough to work in places like Hong Kong and Beijing (I was there for 15 months).  In fact I learnt Simplified Chinese, and have no problems reading Traditional Chinese, but I cannot write Traditional Chinese though.

如果而家留左位, 到時真係反悔唔讀會唔會有可能攞番留位費呢?

唔得喔，話明是留位費
如果入讀，就可以當最後兩期學費抵消

其實我覺得貴既留位費係好事, 起碼唔會hold完之後唔讀最遲先講, 令真正想讀既人冇機會。Play session o個日有位老師同我講Play session 既目的都係想比家長好好認識學校, 令佢地思考Anfield係咪家長真係有興趣想入既學校, 學校都唔想比咗offer 一d學生, 點知最後又唔讀, 跟住令到真正想入既學生冇機會。

嗯，其實無論留位費幾多都無必要留幾個
我上年在收到Anfield的offer之前都只是俾了一個留位費，因為是第一個offer，唔知之後會不會再有其他offers。幸運的之後都有幾個offers，不過就無再留位。

The school bus runs on most area at KLN side, including Shatin. But the fee is extremely high. I am living in Olympic station and the charge is 2200 per month. For Shatin, it's 3000 per month

I also live in Olympic! What's your thoughts on Anfield? So far so good?

Hi all, i stay in KLT and hence I would like to send my daughter to KLT campus but she was born in August hence she can't enroll into preK or first step in KLT campus.  the school suggested me taking playground and prep program there but no guarantee she will have K1 offer.  Priority will be given first to pre K or first step students.  I am still struggling if I shall send her to WP for PN but I hesitate in view of daily commuting.  What would you suggest ?  Will you take prep program in KLT even there is no secured K1 offer or accept PN in WP?  Thanks all

I believe that even there is no guarantee, you will still have bigger chance to get in

As you may see my reply in other thread, I love the school much. The school is a small one,  but I can feel the warmth in the teachers and staffs. My girls is having a good time there, always talk about the school, teachers and classmates. Not to mention, she acquires  good skills not only in language, but also the self -care. One impresses me is the school will send out newsletter every month to tell what is going on with the class the kids are in. They also organize some workshops once in while. I have been to their reading story workshop that organised by a famous children book author overseas and that amazed me and inspires my hubby. All the staffs of the school attend that workshop including the principal. I feel blessed to choose such a good school for my girl. So in short, I highly recommend this school to all potential parents .
