If there is an interview, will the child face individual tasks, group play, parent questions or written observation?

Parent FAQ

How can I assess teaching quality without an official school report?

Visit the school website for introductions, curriculum details, student activities, and parent testimonials. You can also call the school or attend open days/information sessions to ask teachers directly.

Will the interview be in English or Chinese?

As the school uses English as the medium of instruction, interviews are likely in English. Prepare basic English conversations for both you and your child, but confirm with the school. Their website or admission notice should specify.

Does the Christian background require our family to be Christian?

The website does not explicitly require Christian faith, but the school may value family alignment with Christian values. Check their stance on non-Christian students and religious activities before applying.
