option 3- would it be better for the kids to be in separate schools? My preference would be for them to be in the same school as it would easier for me to manage everything. Is HIPS worth to relocate? Unable to get much feedback regarding this school. thank you for your reply!

Unless it is for priority admission to affiliated secondary school, IMHO, it is better for them to be in the same school.

All the best.

I think it’s better, logistic wise, to have everyone in the same school. There’s no point trying to manage different schools / different location unless you have a village helping you out.

Whether HIPS is worth the effort to relocate, that’s a question only you can answer. Is it better than anything you have access to at the moment?

The first is a guaranteed place.
Until you have a confirmed PV place, the second is only hypothetical.

PLMGS has a good affiliation system, the Express and NA affiliation COP under the T-score system is 205 & 161 respectively for 2020 Sec 1 batch. Will be a good choice if the AL COP for affiliation remains attractive.

All the best.

Yes, i think HIPS for phase2b is the safest choice now. Unless, i manage to get PV for other schools.

Due to COVID, most schools have suspended their PV scheme or reduce their PV requirements. Given the reduced number of PV, it will be hard to get a spot. And even if they resume the scheme some time this year, I’m doubtful you will be able to clock the required hours for the endorsement.

Furthermore, you have the complication of sell house, buy / rent house before the deadline. It’s probably not a good idea to leave this to the last minute.
