Re: 蘇浙國際部 OR ESF Shang Wan
Dear Waiwai32804,
the following are my reply to your questions
1) I think you could submit the application when he is around 2 years old or even earlier. For ESF, I recommend you to apply asap, as historically there are many applicants (although as far as I know, if you don't mind taking the PM lesson, it could be easier)
2) No there are no interviews. The key is to apply earlier.
3) I got the ESF form in person.
4) Yes, I did visit both schools. 蘇浙 international section shares the same campus with the local school. I think for Kindergarten, they occupied around 5 rooms. As they are actually inside the local school, the renovation and facilities are not new or as fancy as Victoria. However, I am aware that they are doing some renovation and set some new playground particularly for international school students. Overall, the school environment is not perfect, but still acceptable. For ESF, the school is pretty small and does not have big outdoor playground. However, the facilities look a bit new.
5) In terms of facilities, both schools do not have advantage over the other. I think the key is firstly the path to primary school and secondly, the language. I chose 蘇浙 because it could guarantee a through-train to its primary school. And according to my understanding, its primary school is not bad. Vs ESF could not guarantee my kid any seat in ESF primary school. The other thing is that I want my kid to recognize that she is a Chinese, although she studies in an international school. As far as I know, 蘇浙 is probably one of the few international schools, which could offer good Chinese and Mandarin lessons (without compromsing on the English skills). On the other hand, in ESF, I don't really think you could cultivate a good Chinese language learning environment for your kid.
I hope the above could help you. I know as a mom, you have lots of headache with your kid's education. Don't hesitate to let me know if you want any help from me!!! : : :
