FIS and Kellett are both good schools. Strong curriculum and smaller class sizes. If you have an offer from either of these schools would definitely take it as school places are getting harder and harder to secure.
Kellett is opening a new campus this summer in Kowloon Bay. The building looks amazing, but if you have a young one, the commute may not be for you.
There are some good ESF schools, however Kennedy is not one one of them and this should be your plan C.

Agree, we're happy at ESF, but Kennedy wouldn't be my personal choice either.

Hi! We were thinking of entering our kids into Kennedy this year, twins aged 5, and eldest aged 7. We are good to get in, apparently, so that s one thing. But could you kindly outline the issues with Kennedy, and what other ESF schools you would recommend? We don t know what we re getting outselves into....and were really anxious! Thanks so much for your time!

Here's a previous thread on Kennedy

Unfortunately, until there's a change in leadership this school is going to continue to deteriorate.

From my own personal experience, Kennedy School is not a school that you should consider if you are looking for a school to enlighten and develop your child's character. Although Kennedy school is has a great environment and wonderful teachers and parents, the curriculum is unstable and i was unable to take my skills to a further level until i reached high school. Throughout my years at Kennedy, I found it difficult to break free from the potential that they had set for me. For example, I engaged in many sporting activities, but because they had a very narrow perception of my abilities, i was rejected many times by the various coaches because they were looking for the wrong qualities. I was unable to develop my talents and explore new interests because they did not encourage the risk taker profile and the virtue of being open minded. It was only until i reached middle school did was i finally encouraged to explore new things for myself.
Nevertheless this can possibly be a very biased opinion.
