    like i said, it has NOTHING to do with recommending a good school...

    schools are EXTREMELY difficult to get into... YOU must contact all of the international schools in order to find one that has space.

    keep in mind that you will be spending MINIMUM $1k/month USD on school tuition. add to that school bus, uniform and sundries, i'd budget AT LEAST $1.5K/month USD on school.

    you can check out:

    Hong Kong International School (US curriculum)
    Canadian International School
    American International School
    English Schools Foundation (UK curriculum/IB)

    Don't forget the Australian International School in Kowloon Tong.

    They have a different school calendar starting in Jan/Feb and ending the school year in Dec with 1 month off for summer in July (As well as term breaks).
    Students are always coming and going so contact the school admissions office to inquire about a vacancy in your daughters year.

    Good luck. It could be a fantastic experience for you all.

    that was actually why i DIDN'T suggest it. if they are going back to the US, then the poor kid will have to do 1/2 the same grade over again...there, or repeat 1/2 the grade here and miss the second half...
