Is it 5 M debenture? I won't spend that fortune if I can have ESF/RC honestly, but distance and traffic for Harrow is also a problem for me too.

每人的價值觀也不同，富貴程度不同，冇得咁講。我只知Harrow 係因才施教，小朋友學到野又開心，終於Esf 也是大班教學。

I will prefer ESF, cuz Harrow is not IB school, it's still IGCSE? I like IB cuz it's more internationally welcome nowadays! Harrow is only has reputation of how expensive it is, it's a label of rich people, but I don't need that, I'm a more practical person even I can pay that $5m debenture and ongoing expenses there, I only do good for my kid, not do good for myself!

Personally opt for IB: BHS with small school environment .... RC if you like bigger school and better Chinese.
Harrow ... from my observation ,most of their student in lower form are from mainland . It is a good pick to go if you need connection for your own business. For education , I will vote for other IS.
About 因材施教？I think most school can do. For this , you might consider BHS as a small school.
PS: That 5mil debentures only for kindergarten , not necessarily for year 1 and above.
Hope it helps

Initially, I hv the same thought that it is a highly expensive school with a lot of affordable mainlanders.
Two months ago, I incidentally joined the school tour at harrow, fm my observation , over 60-70% students are non-Chinese. The tour was held over 2 and a half hour with super friendly and responsible introduction even though they hv limited spaces to provide for new comers. Students are highly disciplined and proactive to learn during the lesson. The fee is kind of similar to other international school like Hkis, Ycis. Debenture is not compulsory too. The overall impression is like a famous traditional school with good academic n discipline but focus on English teaching.
作者: HLME 時間: 16-11-24 19:38
The big difference I saw fm harrow is they focus on old traditional values like ( 1st academy , 2nd discipline) esf and rc are more hands off, they good at unleash students potential instead of study only. Students seem to be more enjoyable in esf. Anymore diff bhs n rc?

If you can afford, definitely Harrow. It's like comparing a private school and public school in the U.K.
作者: canteen31 時間: 16-11-25 01:17
A bit off topic, its actually quite funny/confusing that in the English and Wales, Harrow/Eton etc….all the expensive schools are actually referred to as "public school". While schools that don't charge a fee is referred to as 'state school', and selective state school is often called "grammar school"
and "prep school" is often used for secondary schools...
作者: hong0706 時間: 16-11-25 01:29
Most people I know will choose Harrow, if you take away the cost and distance factors, given it is so much more resourceful, has excellent hardware, and better quality (and much higher paid) teachers.
Also, it is very disturbing to see people still spreading incorrect fact that the school, in particular, the lower forms are filled with lots of mainlanders. In fact the lower forms have a high proportion of Caucasians, a factor those mainland haters love so much.
I am not with Harrow but know quite a few there.

講真，俾得起錢就一定送去哈羅。
同英基根本冇得比。
你要比成績，又未必apply到自己小朋友身上。
睇你信唔信IB..., 仲有哈羅師資一定唔會差，背著英國名校之名，你會唔會用港大vs 牛津？

所言什是。各有各不同之處。
下年year 1 (18/19) 都會由三班改增至四班，一班24人左右，減去兄弟姊妹優先權，可能都有十幾個位。k1（18/19 ）都好似由三班改四班，把握機會。

係呀，如果純由一年級直升到畢業，要等7年後先見到成績，開校只不過有六年。不過，入學好似越來越困難，之前新校，都吾係一申請就入到，現在毎年級都要爭位，不少有兄弟姐妹優先權都入吾到，因為要過佢個評估。

有朋友聽說有不少例子有買債卷，都只係得面試機會，不少世界五百強公司要員子女都過吾到面試。呢閜學校，出左名冇人事，冇人情講。

其實在英國出名的 private school 如 harrow 和 eton 都是從 grade 9 開始, 即 學生也只在 學校最多5 年, wycombe abbey 也只得從grade 7 開始 , 即也最多7 年. 所以他們的学生也是從其它pre prep school 轉過去. 對於lower school, 我會更看重學校的理念與父母的要求是否一至 , 公開試成績為次. 再者在香港的国際學校內的higher school 部份, 到graduation 時, 學生從本校的小學一直升來的比例也不高吧 ?

In terms of fees, Harrow is more expensive.
ESF/RC are cheaper, and by looking at their IB results, I guess I can say they are value for money.
I would rather not say something like "if you can afford, of course harrow".
Parents always tend to fall into this trap of believing that they should take the most expensive option they can afford.
However, it might not always be true that "the more expensive the better".
Harrow and ESF/RC are just very different. There are a lot of people that can afford Harrow and would still choose ESF/RC.
When comparing RC and BHS, RC is a huge school with primary and secondary on the same campus. BHS is a small school with only primary.
So you had better set out your own criteria and decide for yourself.
And after all, I guess at the moment, you do not have any choices yet.
You should accept Harrow's offer since you have yet to even attend interview at ESF/RC. And apparently a huge percentage of students that attend interview at ESF/RC do not get offer.

Thx a lot. That's true. We also need to counter in the traveling time to school in comparison and it is only a very personal issue.

My son started school at Harrow since K2, he is now in year 2 and I have to say my son loved the school and I am very satisfied with the teachers and admin staff.
Like some of ther other parents here at the forum, we have hesitation when applying Harrow (since the school is relatively new). Frankly Harrow was not in my rador in our first round of school applicaton (we think it's too far for us, we lived on the island side), my 1st choice was CIS or HKIS. Unfortunately my son was only on their waiting list and we knew it will be impossible to get in (some of my other friend's kid couldn't get in even with subling in the same school). For 2nd round application, we applied the other less competitive int'l schools. We finally got offers from ESF kindergarten, Yew Chung and Harrow. After serious consideration, we admitted into Harrow for K2.
The school is actually better than we thought, it is relatively strict and disciplined compared to other int'l school. Please do not think that it has lots of mainlanders, you will find more westerners than Chinese. My son's class has a mix of students with different nationalities. Most student's family are very well educated and are friendly (even if they are super rich).

I hv the same though . Can't agree more. The only problem we found is the traffic design. Do u think the principal leave will reduce school competitiveness? How is their Chinese education ?
