| momalice, They have assessments all the time, but no need to do revisions beforehand, kids just do some exercises in class. For P.5 and P.6, they have to do test papers which are assessment tests of UK and results are compared with those schools in UK. ESF has announced that their primary test results are much better than the average in UK. |

| hi all moms here, although I prefer ESF but I was worried about the level of math and Chinese reading/writing if my son was to study in ESF all the way to high school. I am struggling between Victoria and ESF as it seems to me Victoria have better Math/Chinese. Of course the trade off is level of English. any mom have the same concerns? please share your thoughts.thanks. |

| cocobean, may I know there is only 2 levels for kids( K1, and K2) then start primary school right away? cos normally kinder has 3 levels , doesn't it? thks! |

| BBIX, If your son is going to attend International school, then after completing K2, he'll go to ESF for P1. If he's going for local school, then he has to join another kindergarten for K3. |

| Cherylmom thanks for your sharing. I do prefer western education philosophy over Chinese traditional edu phil (填鴨式). However math is the foundation of logic thinking and that's what I found many western people are lack of. so I'm a little concerned about it. And inability to write Chinese could also be a problem..... Perry2006, ESF kinder start to accept application as your kid approaches 2 year old. so 3-5 month before your kid reaches 2 yr old you may write them to get an application form. |
