hello

we are about to move to hong kong from singapore, and i am well aware the international schools are very over subscribed. Any one give me some advice???

i have a 4 yearold and a 1 yearold, less worried about the 1 year old.


Thanks NAncy 10

Hi Nancy

When are you moving?

You should be ok to place your 4 year old in a kindergarten and apply for some int'l schools for him/her to start in Sept 2013.

Start your research - go to my site topschools dot hk and message me for further advice.

All the best,
Ruth

Hi Nancy,

I'm also in the midst of searching for international schools for my 6 years old and 3years, more worried about the eldest as he's due for P1 here in Singapore next year. I hope you can share any tips that you may have researched on hand. I'm currently looking at the Singapore International School in HK, did you happen to consider this as well?

If it helps,my children go to the ESF schools in HK,and the new school year registration starts on the 10/9 - next week.
The new school year is late August 2013.

@lilianlam - If you are Singaporean, do check with the Singapore Int'l School; you'll get priority for admissions AND a discount on the fees and the debenture.

ESF do have a scheme for those relocating into HK during the school year which you can consider. It requires your company to get involved but is not too daunting.

For anyone considering relocating here, I'd suggest asking the company what kind of support they are willing to provide in the school search - hiring a consultant would be the very least you'd expect.

If I can help further, please PM me.

Hi - you should check out [///// snip//////Education and Schools in Hong Kong[/url] and also look at the section on International Schools which is linked to from that page.

If my family and I are looking to relocate in the summer, how early should we register our children into schools?

It is not linking to a forum, it is linking to a guide which would have been useful for Nancy....!
