Hi there,
I am struggling between these two schools for my year 1 son. So far as I know, Renaissance is a ESF's quite new Private Independent School but running full IB from yr 1 to 13, while Shatin Junior is a well- established ESF school well-known for its academic achievements.
Since I am a Chinese and my husband is a British while Hong Kong will be our permanent home as far as I can plan ahead, the opportunity of learning Chinese and Putonghua is highly appreciated.
Would like to hear the advice from you who know about both or either these schools. Or simply how would you choose over these two schools?
Thank you.

Shatin junior should be following the PYP , as all ESF primary schools have or are switching to it.

But if you were me, how would you choose between Renaissance College and Shatin Junior School? and why?
Thank you again.

Why don't you apply for the two first? When your child is admitted by both schools, then that's the time for you to worry about which one to choose.

Have you been to look at them both. Looking round will give you a good feel for either place. Meet the staff, look at the work on the wall, see how happy the kids seem etc. We did that years ago for my daughters first school. And the reason we chose the one we did was because when we were shown around by the headmaster, he knew all the kids names and they all rushed up to see him.
