primary school expanding, so not as difficult to get in.  Kindergarten is tough to get in.

My daughter has been in IMS for almost 2 years now, she studied at IMS Mid-level for foundation and transfer to TH for Casa. We all love the school and really would like to stay here till she graduate primary.
I am a fan of Montessori and I really think Montessori is very good for kids. My daughter blossom in this school. She is very polite, very independent and well behave. Unlike a lot of IS, IMS is quite discipline and she learns to speak softly and do not run inside her class room. She is good at taking care of herself and you will be impress how independent she is compare to other kids at her age.

I am actively looking and visiting different montessori school now. Will visit ICMS and woodland this week and hopefully will have a better idea.

My first choice is IMS but the next open day will be Jan 2013 only.

Heard that it's very difficult to get in IMS... is interview needed and it will take long before we can get in?

For my daughter, no interview was needed. We were on the queue for around 9 months. But I heard that they need interview now. So I am not too sure!

Honestly speaking, we haven't think that long, as I haven't attend their primary open day before. But I still remember I attend their school tour before I applied to foundation 2 years ago and they told us a lot of their students will be accepted into CIS or ISF as their Chinese is very strong compare to other IS. I do agree that their Chinese is really strong. I talked with many Primary School parents during patents day and they told me their kids in lower primary is already learning 邊傍部手when they first enter lower primary.

I applied foundation program for my daughter, and got a waiting list offer. And I called them and they told me waiting list= refusal.
Sad.

Hi aspirant99, when did you apply for your daughter?  Did you get the interview?

aspirant99

I applied in Mid Oct, after the school open day. No interview.

Markean

Oh, no interview and wait list? Or refusal? How come? Did u choose their denture?

I also just received a letter saying we are put on the waiting list. So it is a rejection and $2000 application fee  is gone

I wonder what kind of kid will get the chance to be interviewed..
