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

"Yew Chung is a good choice if you are Christian, as they have a moral education division and their own pastor. However, they welcome all faiths. They emphasise social responsibility as well as academic performance. It is a good school if you want your children to learn the culture and language without the pressure of the local Chinese schools, but expat children may feel a little isolated by the language barrier with the other children - note, though, that use of English in the classroom is strictly enforced and use of English during play time is often rewarded. It is also a good school for balancing academic achievement with the joy of learning. Children are taught independent learning and responsibility for their own performance. My daughter loves it there. However, the school is very expensive and could only be considered if you have a good income or package. They do run scolarship programmes and if more than one child is enrolled the price for the second and third child drops," remarked one expat living in Kowloon with children attending Yew Chung International.

"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," said one expat in Hong Kong with children at Wycombe Abbey School Hong Kong.
