When we asked about the schools in Hong Kong, they said...

"If they are young enough I would chose a chinese school any day over a western school. The number one consideration is learning the language. There is no easy way to learn the characters so they are rote learnt. The drawback to this is the schools apply this to everything else so people grow up only able to rote learn rather than accumulate knowledge. It is quite obvious when you see them driving here. They are subject also to greater levels of discipline than is seen in the west and local parents are a tad overzealous in making their children the "Best" .," commented one expat when asked about Qin Lin Wan School in Ningbo.

"Try to enroll their school tour if you're considering Wycombe Abbey School because the school tour can really help understand almost every detail aspect of the school," explained one expat in Hong Kong, Hong Kong with kids at Wycombe Abbey School Hong Kong.
