AIS or NAIS?

zzffir

Hi All, my daughter received nursery offers from American International School (AIS) at Kowloon and NAIS at Sai Kung (we live in Tseung Kwan O area). I am struggling to make a decision for her. I know that AIS has quite a long history, a good reputation, and has a very well-designed structured US-based curriculum. NAIS is a bit new, not too much information online compared with AIS and it offers UK-based curriculums. I went to the school tours of both schools. Even AIS’s facilities is a bit old while NAIS is relatively very new but I actually like them both. I hope to seek advices of the two schools from both academic (like course levels - math and science subjects) and social domains (characteristics like politeness, manners, well-rounded person)? Thanks!

For a young child, it is better to choose based on distance. You won't know what curriculum suits her better until they are older so you should just choose the closest.

Usually primary school is just play so it doesn't matter whether you choose UK or US. Many people change in secondary. If you want to do UK curriculum, it is best to be in a British school by year 10 so your daughter can do IGCSE. For US, change before they start AP.

恭喜你有兩間offer ! 最後你揀咗邊間？
我住將軍澳，我揀了NAIS , 學校有校車接送，之前有參觀學校，感覺老師都有愛心，小朋友好開朗！
