Hi Sandy,
Yes, wisely is a canto school. It has been recently renovated, there are 8 classrooms, there are i think 2 sessions a day.
Both Wisely and Creative int'l school are owned by a developer.
Their pedagogy (art of teaching) is not as strong as other intl schools (my opinion). They give a lot of freedom to the teachers, so if you get a good teacher then its OK, but if you get a lazy teacher, then the lack of supervision may be a problem. But there are 2 fantastic teachers there that I would highly recommend.
There's a better choice in the area, I can't remember the name but I can try and find out for you.

i'm also looking for nursery school in the central and western district, hope someone can suggest. I was hoping to find one that's not expensive like most of the private and international preschools. Also a school that uses English and Cantonese and not just Cantonese. Hope someone can suggest a good school for us to consider. I'm also doing some research of my own but it'd be nice to hear from those who know first-hand.
Hi pameladell30,
I know this is a old thread, but I believe you've got some answer for ur questions. And ur kid should be in nursery/k1 I think. I am also in a same position looking for bilingual nursery & kindi in Central/Western Dist. Please share ur ideas...

My daughter got accepted into Ming Wai for K1. I had decided against sending her to school till she turned three as I work from home. In the end, however, I gave in to the pressure. Whilst she was interviewing for Kindergarten, I had a chat with the principal and they accepted her into Nursery school.
I am looking around for 2nd hand uniforms on the basis that she will be going to a more local kindergarten in September 2013. I am currently taking her for interviews. Like some parents, I want her to be able to speak Mandarin and Cantonese. English is her first language, so, that is not my concern.
I know the principal in Wisely but distance is a concern. I hear from friends with kids there that they really teach the kids to be polite.
As I live in the Eastern District, I also looked at Rosaryhill School. If cost is a concern, Rosaryhill School is under the voucher scheme and I think they have at least 1% of mixed and western kids. Please do not quote me on this my statistics on this is entirely based on how many mixed kids I see during the registration day. I went to Rosaryhill School Kindergarten myself and, even in my time, there were one or two western kids in the school.
However, as I want a stricter environment, I am looking at Ling Liang Church, St Paul's Church, Dominic Savio etc. Having said that, I still think the interview process is entirely ridiculous.
