Hi,

I am new here. My daughter was in Jan 2008. I know she is not ready for K1 till 2011. But, I do really want to plan the path for her.

My target is ESF Kinder TY then DC.

Any DC parents here? ...

here is the school bus info from DC:

See route A:

http://www.dc.edu.hk/content/docs/External%20Bus%20Routes%202008-09%20Pub%20-%20January09.pdf

so it takes 25 mins from Bellagio to DC, as it claimed.

If you are targeting at ESF TY then DC, I suggest you read both of their website to get more more info:

Sorry for not sharing with u coz i'm not a DC parent (I'm just one,probably near the end, on the long waiting list there).
I suggest you may need to think aboutmoving closer to DB (or simply move to  ...

Looks like from Sham Tseng to DB is not that far away (it said 25 mins), at least not like from TKO to MOS when I was originally considering RC.... of course for 4-5 years old kids traveling on highway (@110KM/H) is still a lot, and to parents too.....

By the way, is DC implementing IB too?

Lots of ppl are talking about RC here. But, are DC and RC cirriculum the same since there are both the only 2 private IS of ESF?

Yes, DC is also using IB too

And DC should resemble RC a lot!

Thanks, popolung!

That's what I thought too.

Apart from soak my daughter in full english enviroment, I can do nothing for now as she is still too young (15 months old). The path is still long way t ...

put her in ESF kinder if you can, but not sure where you lived. then think of what you can do. yes it is a long way to go. Once you get there life will be a bit easier... for academic concern only....good luck! Add Oil!

Yes, it is a wise decision. As a cat. 2 applicants, the only method to increase chance for an interview by ESF primary or DC is going to ESF Kinda.
As popolung and I always emphasize, ESF kinda may n ...

Yes, but no matter Cat 1 or Cat 2, put your kids in ESF kinder will give you a better priority to have interview in ESF primary school. And successful or not will depends on your kids' English capability. But at least you have a chance to have interview is better than others already.

For ESF application other than Y1 & Y7 you can call ESF and apply anytime, see if they have any vacancy.
