    American Int'l School (AIS) or Delia School of Canada(DSC)

    My kid is 4 years old, and only got waitlisted at several famous international schools. The chance to get in is slim since all have long waitinglists. Now, i have to choose between AIS and DSC. I notice that DSC offers ESL classes while AIS doesn't. Does it mean the English level at AIS is higher? Could anybody please kindly share student and teacher background? Which one has more native English kids? Which one has better university acceptance record? Also, any other comments are welcomed. Millions of thanks.

    Delia does accept a number of kids who are not native English speakers, and hence has a strong ESL program to support them. Have recently met 2 families who arrived here and the kids didn't speak a word of English. They have nothing praises for Delia's ESL program. However, now that their kids' English are up to par they have transferred them to other IS.
