My family of 4, daughter (7), wife, self and infant (to be born in Oct!) will need to relocate to Hong Kong (from New Delhi) after/ around January, 2005.
We have been advised to look at ESF schools for our daughter's schooling. Now, the questions are:
1. How difficult is it to get admission to ESF schools? Easy/ Difficult/ Impossible.
2. ESF insists that you can apply only when your entire family is fully resident in Hong Kong and you apply to the neighbourhood school. To us this poses a problem as we would ideally like to ensure our daughter gets admitted to a school and then look for housing conveniently located in the vicinity. Have others before me faced the same problem? Any suggestions?
3. ESF has 3 seasons for admissions: September, January and April. The school season in Delhi ends in March and as such I would prefer moving my family in April 2005. Unless of course, January happens to be the season where a large number of vacanacies are created. Can anyone guide me on this?
4. Any ESF (primary) school on HK Island where admission is likely to be easier (larger number of seats)?
Will be grateful for any helpful answers.
Thanks
