P1 English School Suggestions

[MABinPengChau]

Not sure, why you take simple advice seeking post to just another topic of some sacrifice of LOCAL families.

Ofcourse I appreciate the level of "sacrifice" of LOCAL families and I am hoping you should can also appreciate that may be some non-local families can also doing lot of sacrifice including prepared kid for kindergarten interview (not sure why you pull kindergarten in discussion though) and successfully got acceptance letter for most of schools (thanks to God).

and again already preparing the kids for interview ofcourse and asking for suggestion from fellow friends doesn't mean we are not doing preparation from our end.

Please ignore my posts in future and don't bother to reply.

I pulled kindergarten into the discussion because when you list schools like Dioscesan school, yes, you DO need to start the planning process pretty early and there are very much certain kindergartens that are much more likely to result in admission. And when you produce a list that includes the very most top schools in Hong Kong, the planning must, in fact, begin at age 2. It's very much beyond most people's experience in other countries.
There's no implication that you or any other expat are not attempting to do the best preparation for your own child. I myself moved at the time of admission to both kindergarten and P1 when I lived in the US, and very much found certain school options were entirely foreclosed to me based on feeder preschools or kindergarten despite my child being bright and well prepared in other out of state kindergartens or preschools. That daughter is now 35, she survived.
I am glad you found some schools that meet your needs, at the end of the day, it's way more about finding a school that is right for the particular child rather than some school off a league table.
I will post on this forum where I like, my track record of reasonably useful posts that do not denigrate others is a good one.

Yes, this. For some applications, not sure about the details, you are limited in the number of schools you can pick, no one wants you to pick unrealistic choices and waste your application. As in the UK, you can only list 5 or 6 schools for uni, so you need to pick carefully (as my daughter did for her application after considerable research and figuring out what she wanted to apply for...).

Going through this process now for my 5 year old as well - As far as I understood, you can only apply to 1 school during August - or is that not the case?

No, I have already applied 4 schools.
You can start apply now.
Which school you will choose for EDB controlled schools ?
