VSA vs. ESF

gowgowgow

which school is better? we plan to have the kids to attend overseas university so IB is preferable. the kids are still little. friends told me to choose ESF because they have more schools and better resources whereas for VSA, their Chinese should be better than ESF students. Please advise........

Thanks cyberphone. I know I should apply them then see which one offers if my kid is that lucky. I live on HK island so both are considerable.

HKTHK, I looked through a number of threads of VSA. The old ones have commented the school pretty negatively which I am concerned. The new ones are about how difficult to get in. It is normal at these years as the increase in number of age appropriate students wanting to find a space in better schools. Is there anyone whose kids are studying there now and experience otherwise? This seems to be a balance school in acquiring students in both Chinese and English.

I am not sure if I know the curriculum for both schools. I had better do my research. VSA offer IB through train whereas some ESF schools for example Bradbury offer PYP, MYP too.

HKTHK, I am not sure if I understand correctly, do you mean the target group for ESF and VSA is different. Say ESF more prone to English speaking expats kids?

I really don't know enough
