School open days: what to look for

Tags: primary schools | Schools

Most primary schools will have at least one open-day, for parents to visit and take a look around. Here are some suggestions on how to get the most out of the visit.

Introduction

Mr Tall has written a very thorough series of articles about applying for a local Hong Kong Primary School for your child.  They are written with the non-Hong-Kong-native parent in mind, but they should be helpful to any parent that's starting to get ready for this.

The ISF Academy

Any experience with ISF

My neighbour is thinking of applying to the ISF academy for her daughter.  http://www.isf.edu.hk/eng/about_iisfa.html

It looks like a really good option combining bilingual mandarin / english education.  

Does anyone have any experience at the school?  Are the children happy there? Are there many non-chinese students.  Is it a feasible school for parents where neither speak / read / write chinese to any level of proficiency...

Any / all comments welcome.
