VSA is an IB school but definitely not a local school. My daughter is in grade 6 at VSA and she speaks primarily in English with her peers.

CDNIS : nonprofit international school

VSA : for-profit private school

請問你從那裡知道VSA is for profit? VSA校舍是由政府批地，而教署只会批地给已獲税局豁免的non profit organization.  VSA is private independent school, not private school.

Any comments on these two schools ? How to choose between these two schools?

CDNIS is an international school with some Chinese language teachers. Students at CDNIS have a greater chance to meet international students. VSA is a Chinese school with an international curriculum. Students at VSA have a greater chance to meet other Chinese students (but they usually speak English to each other). Non-profit or not, it makes little difference to the fees at these two schools. However, discounts are available if you have more kids at the same school.

if the child fails the first interviews, he/she is not going to change much in a second interview, what is the point?

哈哈！如果事實的確如此，那還用問
如果一間學校容許第一次面試失敗後，只要肯買debenture就可給予 ...

VSA 只在2013 和 2014發了兩次私人債券，用來加建一部升降機(已完工) 和遲些在圖書館在加建兩層，如要買可在二手市場。公司債券現仍可向學校申請。

咁在發行債券時，是否有如上述網友所說的安排和做法呢？

據我所知債券持有人有優先面試機会，是否多一次就唔清楚。有時孩子面試當日不在狀態也可理解，始終申請一年级都是幾歲小孩，又何須咁mean. 至於第一次面試肥咗，家長立刻去買張二手私人債券是否可有第二次面試，你可致電學校問下。

買債券可享有優先面試機會是合情合理，許多國際學校都會給予有債券者獲得優先面試或考核，但是否最終取錄 ...

你可以咁估嘅，反正你我都無資料。如果學校愛財，係唔係應該由學校再發行新一批私人債券俾家長申請？

28樓網友係咁講，我覺奇怪，不想誤會才問。  VSA 都唔似有咁嘅收生政策。

我不知VSA實際做法，我只是表示若一間學校採用這種做法是極為不智而已。
