Hello!
We are moving to HK next year and after UK curriculum and I know school places are like gold dust. We have done so so so much research and poured through all available media, but ultimately I know it's a personal choice.
I roughly have a gut feel and know the overall pro and cons, but for those of you that know the school or have children that is there / have been there, can you help challenge my thought process?
This is such a huge decision so any extra points of views will be really really appreciated.
Thanks so much in advance!
ESF - it's cheap, but classes seem a bit bigger. The students appear very local so concern is that our child would feel the odd one out not knowing Cantonese.
Shrewsbury - brand new, great facilities including a pool, and in a relatively new area with new apartment blocks. The major concern is whether our boy might fall behind / not be as great in English if a large majority of students speak Cantonese at home (even if they do speak English and teachers are English, the playground is where language gets picked up).
French International School - we are not french but they have an international stream which seems pretty decent. No idea about the french way of teaching though so that will be the big unknown.
Kellett - this seems like a popular choice with expats. But feels like academically they are just like a normal UK state school? And no idea if the kids are well behaved or not or whether it's particularly rowdy compared to the other 3 schools
