    Can't comment on which is better as I have no knowledge of AIS. I assume you have got offers of a place from both as I know Delia has waiting lists for some ages.

    what do you mean, how is ontario curriculum recognised? it is recognised in a province that makes up just over 1/3 the population of canada....

    I would assume the OP meant internationally. To be honest with a 5 year old I can't see that recognition is that important.

    i wasn't being nasty, i truly didn't understand what the problem might be...like i said almost 1/3 the population of canada follows that curriculum... i don't think they are any "dumber" than anyone who has followed a different curriculum.

    Hi
    I dont know any thing about AIS. We moved from Canada last year doing Ontaio program and he just graduated from Delia. I cant say enough good thing sabout the school. The faculty and school was extremely helpful. The school does reflect the population of expat people living in th eTai koo shing area. Thats my 2 cents
