Knowing that one is IS whereas another is local school, it’s difficult to compare. We are aiming at future IS Primary, but think that it would be good to learn some basic Chinese in her childhood.
ESF: good English background but poor Chinese learning. Only classroom observation for ESF Primary entry so relatively easier to get offer
St Cat: better Chinese learning but heard that English is only fair. Need formal interview for ESF primary application which English standard may not be sufficient for success

唔駛揀，aim at IS primary 仲要諗？中文外補la，遲早都要。除非你唔多鍾意Esf ，又有外國passport 又或唔介意買nomination right 或debentures

ESF 幼稚園升小學已經是一條龍。
個人經驗：幼稚園中文好叻，一入ESF全部冇晒。要中文好建議入ESF kinder 後選RC。

朋友仔有ESF sibling priority , in左兩次y1都唔肯出聲，結果唔收
作者: hatlady 時間: 19-1-28 17:01 標題: 回覆樓主
樓主，ESF Y1 一in難求，KJS SJS BHS 可以真係連見都無得見。有兄弟姐妹優先考慮，但都係叫有得同幼稚園學生爭下，但英文程度相信差距！
理想咁諗當然係好，但最差係萬一無得in，你會唔會比50萬，或者有plan b？比50萬當學兩年中文又值唔值？

關於第一點, 係咪即係話可以細嗰個小朋友入咗去kinder先 然後大嗰個可以有siblings priority 入去讀小學? 即係個細佬可以幫亞哥入ESF?

据我所知現有這優先，如哥哥姐姐讀esf sch, 細佬妹很大机會能入esf kinder。不過，我覺得不太可能sibling only for kinder application, sibling 不可能要細唔要大。

係in左唔收定in都冇得in? 就算有priority 都要pass interview才收, 如果唔出聲有機會唔收的。但如果pass了加priority 就實收。

Just speculations. ESF can change the game in several ways:
1. Change the order of the priorities in Y1 admissions (i.e. kindergarten > siblings > alumni, 1st choice will not be guaranteed for siblings especially KJS, BHS and SJS). If the older sibling is already in secondary, the younger one may end up in an out of zone primary. (They don't need to keep siblings together.)
2.Follow the transition model of primary to secondary (real through train). Kindergarten kids will do transition instead of admissions. Y1 places for your catchment will be guaranteed. In this situation, available Y1 places for central one form admissions will be the leftover after every kindergarten kid gets a place (-8xx places).

Currently on the ESF website, the priority orders are:
1. corporate NR
2. full time teaching staff
3. full time support staff
4. siblings
5. individual NR
6. internal transfer
7. alumni
8. kindergarten
9. others

- Siblings of students already attending an ESF school or ESF Private Independent School, siblings of students already attending an ESF International Kindergarten, or siblings of former ESF International Kindergarten students who attended for at least a year.

對冇priority 入小一的人好
對ESF幼稚園的生意好，現在大部分小一新生有siblings priority可以讀非ESF幼稚園（甚至唔讀幼稚園），如果他們冇咗priority 要逼住讀ESF幼稚園了。同埋要讀哂兩年才有priority，kinder就常滿了

We experienced the same situation last year, we got offers from both esf and sc too and we were struggling which one should we take. We picked esf finally and we are very happy with the school now. A very lovely and warm school community with caring and experienced teachers and staff, my son loves the school very much. Chinese is not a big concern to us coz we target to send him to overseas for university anyway. Given he lives in HK for coming years and speaks Cantonese to his grandparents, I trust that his Chinese would be up to standard.

If you have this mindset, better to focus in local school. Early years in Intl school esp kindergarten would disappoint you in terms of "effectiveness" especially you would have direct comparison with the local one.
Anyway, I notice parents with such arrangements might fit better in local school

Just my personal sharing:
As a working parent I really don’t have time to arrange home-based learning for my kid after his AM session in an IS kindy. In the end, I send him to tuition classes 3 days a week (two of them are extended programs from the school) since K2. The money sums up to be two-thirds of a local kindy’s price. So if there is a happy kindy really close to home and you can join at the age of 4 (when nap is not necessary), not a bad choice for a single kid who may just get bored at home in the afternoon. For me, I’ll quit once I got offer from IS or if I think the homework is too demanding 
作者: SusanTam 時間: 19-3-15 10:43
Thank you so much for all the suggestions. I'm also worried that my kid will bored at home in the pm time, and my helper also need to look after another new born baby. But guess it's too harsh for a 3 yrs old boy goes to two diff. schools everyday, I may just let him to study in ESF , and then attend other activity groups few times a week which is better .

Choose one sport to focused , my daughters start doing rhythmic gymnastics at 4 since then she develops a very strong mindset and strong body , not recommend for such young kids too much in academic , When they grow older , develop their interest in Chinese cultural and language
