Re: When can I apply for ESF Grade 2

You can apply anytime as you are not Y1 or Y7.  They will offer you interview only when vacancy is available.  You can check with the school your position in the waiting list after you apply.

As I know, you should submit to the school of your zone.  You can see more details re admission from the ESF website.

Re: When can I apply for ESF Grade 2

WYmom,
ESF headquarter asked me to submit the form  to nearly school.
Today, the nearby school replies to us , They told me , it'll l wait long time in this moment beacause they had many student on the waiting list!
So, how can I do? Can I try to ask another nearby ESF Junior school or Priviate School?
And how long can I recieve the news to entry?
Thanks!

KaKaYa,

You cannot submit form to any ESF school as you wish, it is limited by your residential zone.
The waiting list is always long.  Some people have waited for a few years.

You can of course apply to ESF private schools separately - Renaissance College or the new Discovery Bay PIS (i.e. the existing ESF Bauhinia School).

Re: When can I apply for ESF Grade 2

WYmom,
Thank you for your reply and  do you any recommendation of decision.
Because my husband didn't like the Ma ON Shan and far away from our flat. So If I join another Int'l school or local school to YR 1 /P.1 (Local school) in Kowloon Tong .Then, can I wait  for this school for yr 1,2,3..........?
Now I was very anxious, please let me know. Thank a lot!

Re: When can I apply for ESF Grade 2

KaKaYa,

In fact which ESF school are you applying?  You can of course join any other school as you like and wait, there are many good schools in town, just need to keep the English standard of the kid as per the language requirement stated in ESF website.

Personally I think Renaissance or DBPIS is quite a good alternative to ESF schools as they have no zone requirement, and they have school bus serving all areas.  My kid has been travelling for 1 hour to school even since nursery, so to me "far away" is not a big deal, the quality of school is more important.

Good luck!

Re: When can I apply for ESF Grade 2

WYmom,
Do you think my application so late to BHS.
As you said, HK have many good school in town. But My husband like my kid to int'l school until now.He was no any change in his mind. (Maybe I can't sent him the good method in mainstream method.) So I submit the form very late to join international school.
Nowsdays, ESF is my good quality of int'l than private int'l school in Kowloon Tong. The mainly reason of quality of teacher , good quality of school .....etc. The school fee is not mainly problem.
If study in RC , can I apply to transfer to nearby school (BHS or SJS)?
About another Private schools are good for Junior?excluding:RC &  DBPIS.Do you have any information of this?THX!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Re: When can I apply for ESF Grade 2

KaKaYa,

Ha, your hubby's requirement is quite high!   There are a few private schools using international approach such as PLK CKY in Sham Shui Po, Creative in Kowloon Tong (but this is a Chinese private primary).  Most other famous primary use traditional approach, such as DGS, DBS, DPS, LaSalle, Maryknoll, Kowloon Tong Alliance, SFA which are very welcomed by parents, competition is of course terribly fierce, there are a lot of info. from other BK parents in the "local school primary session".

I don't know the standard of other IS in Kowloon Tong such as CAIS, AIS (Australian), Yew Chung, maybe you can do some research and visit the schools to see if your requirement/criteria is met.

If you study at RC, I don't think you can transfer to ESF schools as RC and ESF schools are separate entities.  You can still apply to ESF schools while studying at RC.  On the opposite, I know some students studying in BHS applying RC instead as they want more Chinese classes.

They will interview first round by Jan/ Feb, then notify those on waiting list to do 2nd round interview after that.  So you can check your position on waiting list and the status later.  Or you can apply the private schools separately at the same time.

Re: When can I apply for ESF Grade 2

Thank you for your information! In this time, Yr 1 for international school is waiting. It's only continuing to study K3.
So I can follow traiditional approach, if ESF have any good news , I'll consider with husband and confirm by him. Because I don't think so! It's doesn't matter of traditional approach.
