st francis methodist school

Post by nenipen » Fri, 28 Mar 2008 12:39 am

Hi, anyone with kids in this school? We are from UK and our boy, who is 13, is due to be starting in June. I'm told that it does the UK IGCSE's and follows a more creative curriculum than the standard government schools. Any feedback would be greatly welcomed. Thanks. :)

I think Anglo Chinese International would be a better choice for IGCSE.

yes, i agree - betw St Francis & ACSI - there is no question. ACSI is very much better in terms of academic standards (quite high) & organisation & also in terms of money - its has a lot of funds. St Francis is a private sch like most Intl schs & gets no funding.

But the problem will be whether ACSI will admit? If not, you can fall back on St Francis, or why not consider a new sch like ER International? Heard its funded by a very rich business comglomerate in the UAE.

Hey thanks for the advice - I'll check out ACSI as well then. I've looked at ERIS and am considering that too.. guess it's just finding the right balance. I'd be interested to know what you decide katbh!

Again, I think ACS (international) would be a better choice than ERIS. Have read one too many nasty things about ERIS that I wouldn't risk on it.
