Background and challenges

The client is a high-net-worth entrepreneurial family from the Mainland. The child was in a Mainland public junior-secondary school on the Zhongkao/Gaokao track, with a relatively strong foundation in mathematics and science, but a clear gap in academic writing in English and in spoken interviews. The family wished to move from a single examination pathway toward an American-style (AP + SAT) curriculum at a Hong Kong international school, but the parents could not remain in Hong Kong long-term because of business commitments on the Mainland.

ECG coordination and sequence of work

  1. Academic assessment and transfer windows. Based on the student's MAP/CAT4 and similar aptitude results and English level, ECG avoided concentrating applications on extremely competitive schools before the student was ready — which can leave an unhelpful record of refusals — and prepared a two-step path of a bridging school plus a target school. Target school names are examples of pathways only.
  2. Language and academic reinforcement. ECG helped identify Hong Kong-based tutors with international-school examining or teaching experience, to strengthen academic reading in English, interview communication and AP preparatory subjects.
  3. Boarding, guardianship and living arrangements in Hong Kong. ECG coordinated a compliant boarding arrangement and a local professional guardian, and also organised private medical insurance, weekend activities (for example charity or education-related activities), and the rhythm of parental visits. Guardianship, insurance and similar matters are handled together with appropriately qualified professionals.

Work product

The family completed a transfer assessment, language bridging, and boarding and guardianship arrangements, and prepared international-school applications and an SAT + AP curriculum path within the agreed timing window. Admission is decided by the school; planning, test preparation or visits do not constitute an application result or a promise of admission. Where parents cannot accompany the student full-time, these arrangements are intended to provide more stable living and support conditions for study in Hong Kong.

項目背景與挑戰

客戶為內地高淨值企業家家庭，孩子就讀內地公立初中（中高考路線），數理邏輯較好，但全英文學術寫作與口語面試仍有明顯差距。家庭希望從單一應試路徑，轉到香港國際學校的美式（AP + SAT）課程，但父母因內地業務繁忙，無法長期留港陪讀。

ECG 協調與執行序列

  1. 學術評估與轉軌時間窗：根據學生 MAP/CAT4 等潛能測試表現與英文程度，避免在準備不足時集中投遞競爭極高的學校、留下不利的拒信紀錄，並按「過渡銜接校 + 目標學校」分兩步準備。目標學校名稱僅作路徑舉例。
  2. 語言與學術補強：物色香港本地、具備國際學校考官或教學經驗的導師，加強英文學術閱讀、面試表達及 AP 先修科目。
  3. 寄宿、監護與在港生活安排：協調符合規定的寄宿安排與本地專業監護人（Guardianship），並一併處理私立醫療保險、週末課外活動（如慈善或教育類活動），以及父母赴港探視的節奏。監護、保險等事項協同具備相應資格的專業人士辦理。

工作結果

家庭完成轉軌評估、語言銜接、寄宿與監護安排，並按既定時間窗準備國際學校申請及 SAT + AP 課程路徑。是否錄取由學校決定；規劃、備考或到訪並不構成申請結果或錄取承諾。在父母未能全職陪讀的情況下，上述安排旨在為學生在港就讀提供較穩定的生活與支持條件。
