喇沙小學 vs 英華小學

YW college is way behind LS college in public exam results at present. Their reputation needs to build up from the first batch of DSS primary students.

If parents want to know what effort YW has made to cultivate the students, they should do some research on the curriculum reform and activities in the recent 2 years at YWPS.

I believe LS boys and YW boys are both well educated. If you really have to choose from the two, think independently and take the one best suit your son/family (e.g. distance from home, tuition, time/energy for home tutoring, etc).

An important difference between the two primary schools is the mechanism of students intake. LS students will largely be the associated kids (brothers, alumni's sons) and other lucky kids. YW students are all interviewed by the teachers and the principal. Based on the number of applicants up to 22xx, the school has an access to those kids of acceptable academic capability and above-average conduct, in addition to enthusiatic parents. YW has a higher degree of freedom to tailor its curriculum than the aided schools. The teachers can be as ambitious as they can imagine, given the quality of the new DSS students.

Here I don't imply LS students' quality is inferior. Instead, they are among the top elites given their family background (from old boys / living in POA Net 41).

To pick the right school, the parents should understand the philosophy of education in their target schools. Attend the briefing sessions, listen to the principals, see what they believe in, what their approaches are, how their ideas are executed.
