Korean International school

mama3303

It seems to me that there is so difficult to get into any EFS in Hong Kong if your children do not start to study there from G1 and the English proficiency isn't up to the standard.

Can anyone give me suggestions which school can have the advantages of EFS  + still have the vacancy for 8 and 6 years old?   
Any bridging school I could try to narrow the gap of the barrier of English language?
Any comments on Korean International School ( they have the international section)

Norwegian International School in Tai Po.

Thank you so much.
It might be a long journey for them from hong kong side.  Anyway, I will check on this.
Can you tell me more about your comments on this school, if any.

I cant really comment KIS, but if you live in HK side, Kellett School is also a good choice.  It is in Pokfulam.  It is a primary school, the students will go to West Island School in Y7.

Hi Kathiema
I have checked Kellett School from the web-site.  The school fee is rather high ($100,000 annual)  and the summer holiday is from June 22 to Sept 03 with no EFL course offered to those non-native speakers throughout the year. ( I think as I can't find from their homepage)
Any other suggestions?
How about Delia School of Canada ( Tai Koo)
Sear Rogers International Schoo, HK island.
I have no ideas anyone of them.
Thank you so much!

For international schools, do the students need to find the secondary schools by themselves or will they naturally go directly to the school within same zone.

No comment on Delia, Sear Rogers.

My son studied in Kellett School for half year.  He liked it very much & his English improved drastically.  Then he transferred to SJS.  The fee wasn't that high many years ago.  Kellett School will apply secondary school for their students.  Most of their students go to West Island automatically.

Hi there
Do they accept late applicants? What are their screening progress?
How do they help those non-native speakers?
Also, what do those international schools' parents do for their children for the long summer holiday - from june 22 - Sept

You can try Delia School of Canada at Taikooshing.  They offered ESL program for those student who's first language is not English.

Hi Sandy
Thank you so much that I did go and visit this school.  I have complex feelings toward this school.  Difficult to say and sorry to say it out too.
You know the facilitiies, the environmnent and the conduct of some of the students that you always prefer something better to offer to your offsprings when the cost isn't much difference amongst them all.
