Why do you send your child to IS

Dear all,

Since my daughter is almost to the age of getting into kindergarten, both my husband and I are thinking whether we should send our daughter to IS or local school.

Both my husband and I are Chinese, daddy went to UK study after he was 14. I was brought up in HK. We are very concern about the bringing up of our daughter especially her education.

Would like to know parents here sending kids to IS, why do u send kids to IS? I am a greedy mom, I want my daughter can speak fluently both cantonese and english. More importantly, the writing and reading ability of both CHinese and English. How or what do u do to help your children? Would it be better to send kids to local school ensuring better chinese standard then send her overseas to learn English? There are good local schools which i think at the same time have a lot of homework.

I want my daughter to grow up happily, loves going to school, love learning, and have ability to speak chinese and english. OH, I am so frustrated and confused!! Can anyone give me some insights???
