Hello. I am looking at applying for GE cross-border commuting when I enroll in Kinder and have a few questions.
I am considering Manoa, Nuuanu, Waikiki, Wilson Elementary, etc.


1 . Regarding the "Reason for Application" on the GE application, I am supposed to check either Physical residence, Program of study (describe), or Other (describe), Program of study is the information about the study program of the school, but where can I get information about the characteristics of each school ・? ?

I could not find any detailed information on the website of the school of my choice, and I could not find any special features of the school.


2 . Do public schools have a school information session before admission ?

3. If you have chosen GE, what did you base your choice on if not location ?

I have only heard about each elemental from others, and I have also checked quantitative data on school evaluation websites, but I am having trouble understanding the detailed programs and such. I would be glad if I could use your experience as a reference.

I have already graduated, but
my son enrolled in GE from Kinder.

1, the reason for applying was that they had a Japanese program in their classes,
and
my husband wanted to focus on a musical instrument. Our family did not have several choices, but only one school
so we gathered information anyway.
We also looked into school excursion destinations.

2. After I was admitted to the school, there was a school information session.

As Aloha in #2 asked,
What is the reason why you want to be a GE student ?
You are not applying for GR because you like the school ?

Our family has attended the school fair and other events.
We attended school fairs, checked out the atmosphere and programs, and
talked to many parents before deciding on GE.

Aloha and Sean0914

Thank you. Sorry for the delay in replying.

The reason for GE is that we want to know the differences in each school's program, not just the school district's school, and put our child in the school that looks the best for her.
So, we are at the stage now where we know the differences between each school. If, after understanding the differences between the candidate schools, we come to the conclusion that the school in the school district looks the best, we may not GE.

But I'm having trouble figuring out how to gather information to know the differences between those schools, because there's almost no information on the Web site.

Sean0914, did you gather information by talking to someone who attended the school ?
or by visiting the school's staff room, etc. ?

Also, did you attend the "fairs held at the school"? ?
I would like to visit the school if there is an event where I can visit the school, but I understood that it is only for students and their parents.
I would appreciate it if you could let me know.

In my case, I talked to mothers who had older children and also went on a tour of schools I was interested in. I think you should go on a tour. School events ( such as funfairs ) are open to everyone, not just current students and others involved, so I think you should go.

Thank you ! Is the tour something you ask the school for personally ? or is there a call for group tours ?
I see there is a funfair. I did a search and found past events so I don't want to miss this year's.

Dear Topic

「 Sean0914, did you gather information by talking to someone who attended the school ?

#3?


We attended school fairs, checked out the atmosphere and programs, and
talked to parents before deciding on GE. \cHB2}

I gathered information when I attended the fair.

In my son's case,
the school he crossed over to had a lot of homework anyway to keep his level up, and I think it was pitiful ?.
However, I really appreciated the Japanese class in the class.
but now I have forgotten all about it.

You can call directly to the school you are interested in and ask about both the funfair and the school tour. The office is busy in the morning, so about a somewhat calmer time. We had one school that we removed from our GE list just because the office staff was so arrogant. We took our kids to both the fair and the school tour, and decided on both Elementary and Middle based on the school's surroundings and our kids' reactions as our first priority.

Visits are scheduled on a specific date and time for each school.
There is an orientation at that time, and the principal will talk to you about the school's features and what they focus on. In addition to the funfair, there are other events such as Halloween that outsiders are free to attend, so please go there.
