American School Hong Kong (Tai Po)

Hi, any comments from this school? seems there’s not much discussion in this forum.

I have just received the offer for KG2. Initially, I had applied for the annual captital levy. However,they e-mail me and ask me to consider purchasing a debenture, in order to secure a place.

The debenture is a considerable amount,
HK$600,000. And we are still waiting for results of Harrow and Malvern. Actually, I know the chance of Harrow is really slim.But is it worth to pay such a large amount to a new school?

Are there anyMoms with kids at ASHK (American School Hong Kong) at new Territories:

Do you like this school? Are kids happy to go to school? Are you satisfied with the curriculum?

Thanks

so, buying the debenture is a must?

Initially, I choose the option of “Annual Capital Levy”. After the assessment, they said my son could secure the KG2 place once we pay the debenture . It just take one day for them to send out the result and I am curious that they look for who will eager to pay the debenture .

I know I haven’t got any foreign passport and the Education Bureau requires that they limit the number of Hong Kong passport holders to 30%. I am wonder why they could release the offer just one day after assessment.

So if not paying the debenture, they will put you on the waiting list?

Yes, waiting list...600K is quite a large sum , and we still waiting for the results of other schools, so we decline the debenture option.

I had also attended the school tour, but I haven’t ask how many classes for each year. Anyone knows?

佢跟本就未收夠學生，再試問可唔可以用返annual capital levy, 得到以下答覆

our leadership group have allowed for a staggered payment plan over two years.Let me know if that might suit you.


OMG, that mean they look for money instead of qualified students.....very disappointed

Will you accept their counter-proposal?

Probably not at this moment

The result of other IS will be released soon.
And their e-mail give me a bad impression.

may i know if you have finally chosen malvern?  how's the school?  thanks.

My son is studying at Malvern now. He enjoys his school life very much. The class has around 15-17 students which is good for my son. The small class learning could let him get more concentrate on his daily lessons.
