幾年前我呢舊本地薑對ISo既感覺好似遙不可及；但幾年來本地d私立幼稚園(包括一d”假國際”)越黎越貴，學費又同ESF差唔遠…膽粗粗又試下…

我"侯"住IS好耐架啦, 由我做女到結婚生BB, 一直都係打算比小朋友讀IS, 不過當然係應付到先讀啦, 最弊宜家唔知有冇得讀呢, 唉.....

孖女?
要好大勇氣($$$上)同運氣!
有乜心水?

Looks like more foreigners (Cat 1) go to compete in ESF rather than more expensive school, like German-Swiss (those need debenture too), may be because of poor economic situation too.....

Expats love to spend company allowance on their housing but not their own money for education. ESF is the obvious choice...

My last option (the worst scenario) is going back to local stream...
Other IS are too expensive or uncertain quality...

唔係孖呀, 不過一個年頭一個年尾, 同埋一年, 問過ESF佢地話一定要同一年報呀......

聽到你咁講, 仲驚......
如果真係入唔到, 都冇其他選擇啦, 搵d近似IS o既私校囉, 冇計.....我2件呀, 唔同夾硬報其他IS咩, 環境好都話呀, 今時今日都唔知市道仲要差幾耐.....

好想個人精神d起勁d, 不過一見到宜家周圍o既環境, 成個人都灰晒, 大人捱唔緊要呀, 真係好怕影響到小朋友, 因為真係對local教育冇晒信心, 如果因為咁而影響到佢地, 我諗我有排心up......

Come on! strive for the best and prepare for the worst.馬死落地行，殺到埋黎先算...
總好過現在畏首畏尾原地踏步，時機一過先話”有早知冇乞兒”
盡左力到時真係環境唔掂小朋友大個都唔會怪妳。

咁我又唔會放棄, 學你話濟唔得先再算, 堅持到底, 為咗呢條路放棄咗好多其他野架啦, 不過唔會後悔, 因為係自己選擇

雖然ryan下年先讀幼稚園, 但我己經知道好難入esf year one. 我打去esf問過, 佢地話競爭非常大.
我諗住都會apply以下is:

1. FIS
2. DC
3. KCIS
4. KIS
5. RC
睇下邊間收先算啦.

...

Yup!漁翁撒網is a good way!
DC competition will be getting keen(already very keen now) when the school is growing to its full capacity in 3-4years…
RC seems to be less competitive(relatively) now but not sure after 3 years…
Good Luck to all who have a vivid target!

looks like you don't have any geographic concern on the school locations (since KCIS & FIS is in HK while RC is in Shatin).

But for me, if my kid (only less than 5 by Y1) need to travel more than 1 hour to the school daily by school bus (from TKO to RC in MOS takes more than 1 hour by school bus so total travel time in worst case is 3 hours per day) then I dobut about sending my kid to RC. But sometimes realistically we don't have too many choices........

我住香港島，如果入唔到ESF, 咁KCIS, FIS, KIS 我都好近。
如果RC 或DC收，咁就要搬屋。 咁東涌，馬鞍山樓呎價仲平過港島區，仲有機會換大間D.

You will move house when your kid got admit to diff primary school? This is why I said you have no geographical concern la  .... good luck anyway!
