Start with the child\u2019s school stage, intended year of entry, curriculum and language needs. Then check eligibility, school type and application route. Work backwards from the earliest opening or closing date of the target schools; there is no single number of months that applies to every school.<\/p>\n
Compare curriculum, teaching language, progression, learning support, travel and the family budget together. International and Private Independent Schools generally offer non-local curricula, but the word \u201cinternational\u201d does not establish the particular programme or its suitability. Start with the Education Bureau\u2019s international school information<\/a> and check each school\u2019s current prospectus. Separate tuition from application and assessment charges, deposits, transport and other actual requirements.<\/p>\n As a planning recommendation, use the school year before the intended entry as a starting point for preparation. This is not a universal official deadline. Find the earliest dates published by the Bureau and target schools, then plan the records, curriculum and language assessment, open days, applications, interviews and registration. A change of curriculum or teaching language, or immigration and residence arrangements, may require earlier preparation. For arrival close to or during the school year, check vacancies and placement assistance alongside the family\u2019s timing, rather than applying the next Primary One or Secondary One timetable to every case.<\/p>\n Create a family education brief covering the child\u2019s date of birth, current year and curriculum, recent results, language abilities, intended entry date, status and planned residential area, travel limits and budget. For each school record the application route, document list, deadlines, assessments and registration requirements. Admission, year placement and actual vacancies must be confirmed by the relevant institution. A planning service cannot guarantee a place in advance.<\/p>\n YFG Prestige global education planning<\/a> focuses on Hong Kong, with published services including seasonal camps, entrepreneur programmes and study visits, university visits and undergraduate, master\u2019s and doctoral applications.
