AP qualifications are well recognised by the local Us for admission purpose. Top UK colleges also recognise AP qualifications for admission purpose. AP examinations are taken by around 2.5 million students each. There are about 120,000 to 150,000 students take the IB examinations. Apart from the Gao Kao of the PRC, AP examinations are taken by the greatest number of candidates each year. It is unimaginable that AP results are not recognized.

However, my husband took a look at the graduates details on the wall and he was not happy with where they were going. Not much professional degrees for those who went to top universities, he said.

Which top universities are you talking about?
If you are talking about universities in the US and Canada, then there are no undergrad professional programs. All medical schools and law schools are post graduate entry. Some universities have the so called pre-med  undergraduate programs, or programs that are considered feeder programs to med school. But these pre-med programs are not a must. In fact, a lot of med school students in the US and Canada were non-science graduates.

Wow, I didn't know that! Thanks for the info!
I was very clear what field i wanted to get into as a high school student (and it was not law or medicine) so I never researched on that. My husband is Australian and went straight into his own professional degree in Oz so we had no idea! Thank you Artie!

Although I still feel that every child should choose their own career path, I do have a bit of pressure because everyone in my husband's family are doctors or lawyers or scientist of some sort. Personally, I'd be proud if my son chose to become a director or athlete as long as he follows his passion and give it a 100% (while living a balanced life).

Why would you ever consider a school which one of the parent is so much against? For me, this is unthinkable.

My husband is not "much against it", as I have explained in detail in posts #26 & #33. He heard some rumors, than he waved it down without finding out the truth. Like what Fattydaddy said in post #27, he might change his mind and regret the decision later on. I am just doing the research here to give each school a fair examination.

Anyhow we will most probably stick with CDNIS at least until the end of primary for a more relaxed, well rounded childhood. Just wondering, does anyone here know as a fact that, if we fortunately receive an offer now from HKIS but turns it down, would we be 'blacklisted' when we try to apply again in Secondary school years later?

It is difficult to get an answer.

My son just received the offer from HKIS two hours ago (he was wait listed and we only received the Waitlist notification last Friday). Now we have only until tmr 9am to decide to take the offer or not!

CDNIS & HKIS, same factors as before. How should I choose!!!!?

Congratulation on your happy struggle. Sure both schools are excellent! I would pick HKIS purely because of its academic results.

I might be little off topic here, but I would like to share my thoughts after I have read your post about your views on video games.
I do not like video games either.  But I also strongly believe one can't avoid it forever.  I think when a child is deprived of something, they will be more tempted when they can get their hands on it.  This is just from my observation really.  I've seen children who are not allowed crisps/chocolate/sweets (basically anything unhealthy), but once the child is old enough, she would wolf down anything junk food she can get her hands on.  I have met people who were not allowed TV as a child and now they would watch TV all day even tho there might not be anything interesting showing.

So i'm more into teaching my children self-control.  We as parents can't protect our children forever..  I can only hope I have taught my children the right values when they're young and hope they do not stray too far off when they grow up.

If your primary target is US top uni, go for HKIS.
HKIS has a long history and a well established syllabus. Newer schools will easily have management problems and changing syllabus easily.

I agree that self control is the key. But when children are too young, their brain are not fully developed. External control is needed. This is especially important for kids with ADHD. At the end of the day, I think it is a balance between internal and external control.
