Finally find the letter in my mailbox! But it is quite simple. Anyone knows if there will be another letter from the posting school? When will there be an orientation for parents?


And according to Nanhua brochure, it shows the date for selling GEP books is Nov21 -30th, which ends already. Can we still buy the books in the following days?

I believed the school will send you information soon. The dates you saw should be for current GEP students in NH not new recruit. Yeah, you should be able to buy once you got the booklist.

Booklist can be downloaded at the school website, no need to wait for them to inform us.

O, not getting his choice is certainly not a failure. The GEP teachers report directly to MOE, so actually, the teaching are supposed to be the same. Take heart.

I agree it is not a failure to not get your first choice and sometimes here are hidden blessings when we don't get what we want. Not saying the first choice is bad but maybe the alternate school might turn out to be most enjoyable an experience after all. Plus, as aforementioned, the curriculum is the same. Just different culture. Kids are highly adaptable.

Let's believe regardless that all the kids here get to a school of their likin but if they don't I believe they are still blessed and will blossom where they are planted. Hugs. Gambatte!! :rahrah:

Thanks. It is only failed in his 1st choice. I believe it does not mean failure in his future.

Although, my boy is still sad after days. I believe he will recover his mood very soon.
