Does anyone know what is happening given all the recent news articles?

What would the tier 1 or tier 1-like schools in Hong Kong be?

seinfeld> When were you working at the school? Is this recent? I have heard they have a change of principal several years ago

As a matter of fact, there are not 2 but 4 schools in HK alone with better average scores than CIS. But all of those students are selected to take the IB exams unlike CIS which is for all students. You can see the details here with additional information on which program provide non-IB DP options.

Thank you for the clarification. I guess Renaissance College is off the list then.

I am actually interested in schools that provide instructions in both Mandarin and English as my wife is Chinese and this is one of the reasons for our move to HK. We would like our children's Mandarin and English to be near-native levels or as close as we can get them.

Does anyone have first hand experiences with the other schools? Maybe at least any schools to avoid? Chinese International sounds like a good place if they have openings.


seinfeld> If one can work through some of these language issues, are any one of these schools good to teach and send one's children? I am partially bilingual so am not too fussed about understanding Chinese. Learning Chinese is such an important part of our family that I would rather sacrifice my personal sanity. But sending them to a "problematic" school will be an issue. Have seen too many schools on the inside to know how bad things can go.

Does anyone have experience with the various bilingual schools in Hong Kong? I understand that a number of them have appeared in recent years and I am interested to learn how they are as a place to work and also as a school for my children. The names that I have come across are Chinese International School, Independent Schools Foundation, Victoria Shanghai Academy, Renaissance College and Po Leung Kuk Choi Kai Yau. Any help will be greatly appreciated as I will move to HK and would like to start exploring my options. Thank you.
