I have been offered an opportunity to head a new branch office in HK for small company. My main concern is that I have 2 kids. Since we are not there yet, it is difficult for me to register. Also, I was told by ESF that I need to be on waiting list even if I have not narrowed down which school I want them to attend. I was told that I probably need to put in applications for several school. I am very worried about this because I do not want them to miss school at all.
Anyone with kids and would like to give me some pointers? How are the kids and have they become more comfortable about the move? Did you have a hard time finding school? Which area is good for regular American Kids (speak very little Chinese) who like to play soccer (football) all the time?
My kids should be going to 9th and 4th grade in the States if we were to stay behind. However, when I inquired about the int'l school in HK, they told me that my kids will be applying for 10th and 5th grade for the yr of Setp 2009. I am very concerned not only for the space (which is always on waiting list), but also the level, if they can catch up, etc. Also, because I have not moved yet and do not know where we are going to leave, I am not sure which school to apply.
My job will be at Tsim Sha Tsu. Our family prefer living in DB. What do you all think? And which schools will you all recommand?
Thanks for your help.
