    School debentures

    We are looking to relocate to HK later this year but are having trouble getting our daughter into one of the main international schools. Does anyone have advice on getting hold of a corporate debenture for CDNIS or HKIS?
    Thanks.

    You should contact the schools first and then see if there is a secondary market available (or even allowed). The ESF also has a corporate surety system in place which might become an option if things get too crazy but I'm not sure how it works.

    At this point in the game (late, and with schools heavily overbooked with long wait lists) my advice would be "any port in a storm" for this year and then try as part of the formal admissions process in September to get the school of your choice.

    Check out the schools site geoschools.com for more talk about education in Hong Kong.

    How old is your daughter? The early primary years are extremely hard to get places for. Older primary and secondary is usually a bit easier.
