For those in isf preschool, no interview is needed for isf academy, it will be assessment in daily school life instead.

I thought you got rejection letter? So in the end they offered your son a place? So good!

Riesling

I feel that teachers are v caring, she called me to talk about how's my son settling in the new environment since joined school, n we talked for quite long! Most kids can listen n speak in fluent pth, they also look smart n behaved. My son likes the school and I'm also v happy with the school so far!

Thx Canteen31! :)

May I ask how is the English speaking environment so the students be able to speak fluent English, in terms of able to do other IS interviews?

Riesling

Hi 96400, it's 70% mandarin, 30% English used at school. I didn't hv a chance to interact with other kids so far n so not sure the how fluent is their English.

You mean you got reject letter, but subsequently got an offer? Many people declined offer in first round? IF so, is it because it is not guaranteed to primary?

hi resiling, thank you for your sharing! since the preschool is quite new i couldn't gather much comments thus far. hence your sharing is most appreicated!
did you kid know mandarin before entering the school? my kid has not had much exposure to mandarin, so i dont know if he would settle in fine with the environment.
do they test the child's mandarin in the interview?

Riesling

Hi pppwong, most parents of non pth speaking kids have this worry, but my friend whose kid in isf academy told me all kids can speak fluent pth in a v short period of time since joined, maybe 2 or 3 mths! So, think kids can do it! U can choose language for interview, we hv chosen English, fyi.

There is roughly 110 places, so 2.5:1 chance of getting in..... which isn't too bad i guess...
