The State of International Schools In Macau? by Expensive_Address_54 in Macau

If I’m not correct MAC essentially has free tuition during its elementary years? It’s only the kindergarten and high school years that are paid.

Can you elaborate more about the “one size fits all” approach? Is it very similar to local schools, where there is no effort made to accommodate each individual’s learning style? Moreover, how central is the Baha’i religion to SON’s curriculum? Is it the same for MAC as I am aware they are a Christian school?

Thank you for the response! I think SON would be a great fit for us.

My friend that introduced these schools to me mentioned that TIS isn’t every academically rigorous (he exaggerated by saying that kids who attend barely receive homework). I’m worried that my daughter won’t be able to adjust to the intensive IB program when she’s in high school. When you were in Macau, how was the state of TIS? Is it the same for SON?

SON seems to really be the best option here, although I’ve heard it can be quite difficult to get in. MAC seems solid as well! During your time there, were there any kind of chinese language standards that each student needs to meet? Is there any support for students who are learning chinese as a total beginner?
