Too far from our place in JB.

Sigh ... still an empty piece of land for now...

Bro Wuqi, can pls clear your PM? Sorry but I have another question to ask you :o

Can't quite comment but we all know international schools are money-generating machines ;) That's why parents - if they were going to spend the money anyways on these schools - tend to be more picky and selective with curriculum and teaching standards.

I think the "promo fee" has been on their website for a while. I am assuming the school has every right to revise but best if you checked with them directly. Let us know if you find anything out?

Maybe we should start a thread on blacklisted contractors or even developers...?

For ballet, I noticed Ritz Ballet is near to where I'll be moving to (Setia Tropika) but I have not approached them yet so can't say if they're good or not nor could I comment on their studio. I'll keep this thread posted when I finally find enough energy to drop by the studio.

Hi, you raised good points and it seems you may have more intimate knowledge about both schools. Mind telling me how you got your info? PM me if you think it's better. My limited knowledge is based on what I have read about the schools and the parents, teachers and students I spoke to at the...

Yep, that's what I found too.

Hi - Sorry for the delay in posting! Yes, we made our way to the school which is curiously situated in a "Sports Complex" which also housed several other buildings. The school is extremely modest in terms of facilities but we were told a new campus is being built nearby and will be ready in...

If anyone's interested, Fairview International is having an open house this Sat. I'll be checking the school out with my family.

Well said. Everything is relative and transient :)

Yeah, I broke into cold sweat when I saw what Marlborough is charging. Way out of my budget, too. So just to share what I know...I checked with MOE recently because I wanted to be sure what I needed to do to notify MOE as I plan to move my child to an international after PSLE. MOE...

Hi Icebaby - Which schools have you visited and pls share with us your benchmark when determining the school's standards?

Thank you!

Fairview, not Fairfied ;)

Errr...not for me. I have to see and play with my kids everyday :) My eldest will be off to uni in a years' time and just thinking of that makes me weepy :/

Will be happy to share what I find out about Fairview after my visit. I have removed Marlborough from my shortlist simply because it is way above my budget. I'm not too keen on the American curriculum - just a personal bias :) Did you speak to the school administrator? What is the campus...
