無foreign passport 真係好難入到 IS？入到都係因為買了debenture

No, but the schools I applied are competitive, one of them is ESF

By the way, why ESF is so popular among parents.....

Only because it’s still cheaper than most of the other IS even without government funding and have the satisfactory results. However after I visit other IS, I prefer other better IS.

Once u can get into esf kinder, u can get priority to enter esf primary, DC and RC.
“Almost” Trough-train school...and that’s really attractive!
if u hv no priority, its difficult to get an interview in ESF school, unless u buy the NR

I think anyone has his own better choice. For me, l like the IS that at least has the swimming pool and a large playground for ball games!

Why would anyone be shocked?  Every year many students reject offers from Oxbridge or Harvard.

Come on ESF is no Oxbridge or Harvard.
But yeah. Rejecting Harvard is quite shocking. Rejecting ESF is not. We did and I knew many in the same interview round did too.

我小朋友讀緊local school K1, 想申請下年入，考丁兩間都係得waiting，我覺得唔易囉
...

你讀完K1 先轉梗係難啦，最容易係 N 班或者 pre-reception (K1) 就入，視乎間IS 最低係咩班，因為係最多位，中途withdraw 學位畀你讀少之又少。你呢個情況可以搵reception 就係最低班嘅IS，好似AISHK, CIS, etc。不過現在都遲，因為人地已經 interview 完。

其實讀 IS 定LS 真係要一早plan，唔好諗住今年報出年一定有得讀。

We also turned down ESF for another offer. Each school has its own culture and features, you have to go visit the schools and talk to the people to know whether that school fits your need (e.g. location, class size, curriculum, teaching style etc etc). Not saying ESF is not a good school but there are many choices these days and you have to spend time to do some research and go school visits. And for most of these schools, when you are in, you will be in there for 15 years (kindergarten+primary+secondary) so you and your kids really need to like the school.

RC is Renaissance College.The picky school accepts 90% of their kindergarten kids to primary. Very difficult for outsiders to get in their preparatory class (equivalent to year 1 at ESF). I just apply to try my luck.

ESF are not Oxbridge and Ivies, exactly my point.  If the fact is many students every year turn down Oxbridge and Ivies offers, it can’t be so shocked to see a student rejecting Oxbridge or Ivies.  If that is the case, what is so shocked about someone turning down an ESF offer?

因為好多IS都係3歲先開始讀，咁你地會唔會同小朋友先報local嘅n班先？我大果個新係太遲先決定報IS,所以都好難入一d心儀嘅IS,所以依家細果個真係要好好plan下
