Hi, just chasing some information/advice on getting primary school aged kids into a HK International school. Anyone got experience sending their Aussie kids to an ESF school? Also, there seems to be 'long' wait lists for most of these schools, would love to know other experiences such as how long it took to get admission to the school of choice & how many other schools you need to also apply for? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Hi Dave

If you haven't had a look already, we have a fairly comprehensive page on Education and Schools in Hong Kong which was written by a teacher. It gives some good information about international schools and will introduce you to some alternative options, should they be necessary.

You might also want to have a look at this Telegraph article, which was written at the end of last year:

Hope your situation works out.

Best of luck,

Xavier
