    GSIS is a good school but is also a pushy school where you kid will be expected to work quite hard. They do get plenty of homework at a young age.

    We have our kid there and are quite happy.

    Of course, you seem to have done your research, and know know that the move to Ma O Shan in Jan 2010 is a real bummer.

    January 2010 according to my information. We were planning to sign our oldest up until we found out. We would be looking at the English stream and a 60-70 minute commute for a 5 yo is a no-go for me.
