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

唔會難得過入local school 名校

Not sure how difficult at LS .... but I and husband will focus on IS as we trust this can bring a happy childhood and positive mindset

我估真係愈早愈好
Year 1 比 K 難考
因為某啲學校本身有K, 會收左自己學生先。

hi Ching, I don’t think it is just luck but trust you must have put so much heart and effort to help your kid to IS. Can share with us how u can do it?

有冇啲渣香港護照嘅家長分享下，謝謝

Local passport 加冇siblings 既n無，的確係俾拎外國passport ge 少好多優勢，正如大家所講，愈早入愈好

建議你可以先留意邊間學校啱你同小朋友，最好就去下school tour 同open day:

1）教學模式（eg IB, 小班⋯）、學校環境、老師如何
2）同屋企距離 （我諗你唔會想咁細個小朋友日日搭成個鐘返學
3）升小學（有無得直升⋯呢個好重要，因為我都係n無，如果學校唔guarantee 直升，到時要再出去考year 1, 競爭大好多）

其實就咁已經可以shortlist 一d學校，到時再留意返果間心儀學校幾時可以開始apply, 同埋有無playgroup

建議睇下小朋友性格需唔需要讀n班，搵國際幼稚園（參考一下佢地既畢業生係咪多入到IS)

加油！

No passport and no debenture and got offer.  The key is interview performance ! Good luck !!

The interview performance was not outstanding enough to get an immediate offer and still don’t know if I can get a spot finally

How do you know the performance is not good enough ? As IS is high demand now, most of the kids will place in waiting pool.  So I think they will be chance, just a matter of time. Add oil !!!!

Thanks for your encouragement! Hope we could get a spot in the other school

It's definitely easier to get in from Kindergarten. At the age of 3 or younger (time of interview), most children can't speak much and as long as your kids are willing to interview independently, there's a very good chance he/she will get an offer or at least be put on waitlist.

可否pm哪兩間？其實現在可能只有新校較為易少許。

仲有幾點冇乜人提嘅…
1.如果搬屋係一個option的話，最有效的方法應該係搬去港島，入到ESF機會大增。
2.唔介意小朋友commute過海返學。一衆港島區老牌IS，外國護照要求只係70%(相比幾間九龍、新界新校嘅80-90%+，機會多好多)
3.所有accept application from birth的學校如FIS Kellett，一律越早報越好。

(利申有外國護照，但都想分享吓從朋友圈觀察到嘅，希望你唔介意)

感覺今年突然多左人報IS，local passport 新界區競爭尤其大。我小朋友English  ...

早幾年好幾間也考寫自己個名，patterning 同number sequencing 。當然也有story time等。

我就係考左一間超深嘅，連自己幼稚園學生都fail嘅IS. 結果我現在要每晚陪佢寫字，因為學校根本冇教。但呢間幼稚園曾經係SJS feeder school, 如今連RC都無份。只能說是命運吧！
