How to apply for Hong Kong International School

Hong Kong International Schools mainly apply for children of foreigners, but most of them welcome Hong Kong students to apply. However, if you want to go to an international school, parents should pay special attention to their children's English ability, because many international schools want their students, both international students and local students, to be nearly fluent in English.

Students with mainland household registration can apply for Hong Kong identity/residence visa through their parents, so that their children can go to school in Hong Kong as dependants.

You can apply for Hong Kong status by studying in Hong Kong, which is quite popular now. Parents get a study visa by studying in a full-time university in Hong Kong, and will be employed by Hong Kong enterprises in the next seven years. After seven years, the applicant and his family are eligible to apply for Hong Kong permanent resident status and SAR passport.

Applying for Hong Kong International School is not a simple matter. We should make full preparations in advance to avoid cramming for the Buddha's feet and being in a hurry.

When you want to apply for Hong Kong International School for your child, you need to make the following preparations first:

Note: British and American passport holders have no priority to study in international schools.

Search for information: Learn about familiar school information.

Early application: You may not have moved to Hong Kong within two years, but you still need to apply as soon as possible. The application submission period varies with age.

Apply more: in case there are no places in your favorite school, you should apply for more schools to ensure that the required documents are complete.

Visiting schools: Some schools can visit, meet with teachers, observe classes, and meet with principals and admissions officers as much as possible.

Establish contact: keep in touch with the person in charge of admission and submit the latest report and information about the child's latest grades to them.

Interview preparation: Prepare for your child's interview and test to ensure a smooth pass.

Admission requirements: interview and evaluation

Almost every school in every grade, including kindergartens, needs interview evaluation. The content and arrangement of interview and evaluation will vary according to different schools and levels. But some of the main contents of interviews and evaluations in all schools are similar. Many schools require students to speak fluent English. Some schools will be stricter. For example, the teaching language of the school is English, which requires most students to be able to enter different levels of English (over 4 years old).

Nowadays, the social competition is fierce and spreads to all aspects, especially in the choice of schools for children's education. As parents, we should plan ahead and make arrangements early, so as to plan ahead and seize the opportunity.

Based on the concept of international schools, students themselves need to have the ability to connect different things, and be able to think independently, with the ability to gradually expand from single thinking to other things, so as to see more through the learning process.

International schools encourage students to explore independently, and the practice in the classroom is much less than that in traditional schools. Therefore, for students with weak qualifications, low associative ability to learn knowledge, introverted personality and little initiative to ask questions, if they fail to explore new knowledge independently under the free teaching mode of international schools, they will have the opportunity to feel lost, which will have an impact on their psychology and physiology. Therefore, parents should measure their children's personality and learning tendency before making a decision when arranging their children to transfer to other schools.
