| Dear Prettymommy Thanks a lot for your information. I am sure that my daugther will enjoy the kind of learning environment that CDNIS offers. My elder son who is 9 years old is studying in St. Joseph's. Though he is doing pretty well at school, I found him wasting a lot of time doing meaningless exercises and stupid corrections. His classmates are very result oriented and a lot of them actually look down upon those students get poor marks ( I suspect it is parents' influence). I think that good education is much more than getting high marks in exams! With this experience, I am reluctant to place my daugther in local schools. I wish that my daugther will have a good learning environment. Vinna ;-) |

| Hi Prettymom & Vinna, Thanks a lot for yr sharing. I share the same view as you Vinna that a fun and enjoyable learning environment is very important to kids, especially these very young ones. That's why we decieded to send our kids to int'l school. On the other hand, I do worry that kids may go too 'westernised' under the intl school system. I learnt from another BK mom that she actually saw students dating inside the campus, holding hands or even sitting in the lap of a boy. So she chose SIS finally for a more disciplined environment. What's your views on this? Vinna - as you mentioned some of yr friends' kids transferred to CIS after spending a few years in CDNIS, may I know if this is their strategy in getting in CIS or due to other problems w/CDNIS? CIS is famous for academic achievement but also its "blue-blood" in-takes. Is that true all the students there come from the very very rich families? Do you think there will be hard feelings for those students who come from middle-income families? |

| Prettymom & Vinna, My daughter is 11 months old and I know that CDNIS's pre reception class is for children with age 3. So when I need to submit the application? And how about the debenture, do I need to purchase the debenture when submit the application or after my daughter is admitted. Thanks a lot. |

| You can send in your application anytime. I sent in mine right after my daughter was born. Debenture last year cost approx HK$300,000 (there was a wait list) or you can choose to pay the annual capital levy which is approx $20,000 per year (this is non refundable). You only pay for the debenture or capital levy after your child has been accepted. Hope it helps :lol: |
