My daughter is now attending P2 in a local English school and would like to tranfer her to VSA... does anyone know if there is a very long waitling list?  

She can speak fluent English but not so good Putonghua.  Will she still have a chance to get in?

Pls comment.

Thanks

Hi Ving

To be honest, I don't know much about international schools at all... but there is such a lengthy waitling list in the ESF schools so my friend suggested me to try VSA.  She told me already the administration in VSA is a mess but the teachers are very nice and really have patience to guide the kids...

I am just desperate to transfer my daughter to any international on HK side.  I would love to hear your advice and more school info.  Pls feel free to pm me :)  

Many thanks

VSA is not an international school. The school will send letter to parents in April/ May asking whether their kids will stay in the school next year. After that, it will become clear how many vacancy they will have.

Hi cherubic

I am surprise that VSA is not an international school as even the news stated that VSA is an international school ?!

國際學校吸優異清貧生【本報訊】受通脹影響，全年學費約十萬元的國際學校滬江維多利亞學校，計劃新學年加費百分之四至六，以應付教職員等開支。為了吸引學業成績優異的清貧學生報讀，該校出動「銀彈政策」，學生經面試及筆試後，成績卓越者可獲七年免交學費作為獎學金，估計首年約五十名學生受惠。

Can you pls tell me more about their Chinese syllabus?

Thanks

According to EDB, VSA is a private independent school.  However, there is no hard and fast rule on the definition of international schools in Hong Kong.  VSA is one of the IB world schools and has just been awarded membership of the Council of International Schools.  You can say that the curricula and teaching staff of VSA are definitely international though the students are mostly local.
The Chinese syllabus on average is equivalent to local standard and bilingual education is emphasized.  However, the reality is that many students prefer English over Chinese.

中文堂差不多每天都有，用香港的教科書及練習，再加一些額外文章，一年級讀一年級的書，如此類推。還有成語、弟子規、古詩等。

Hi loklokBB,

Why you would dedparate to transfer your children to Internal HK? I think you need to make up your mind to study in local school or international school as they are totally different. Once you change from the current local school to international school or private school, it is not easy to change back to local school. So again, you need to have a firm position and belief first.

Talking about VSA, I think there are hundred pros and cons. My viewpoint is that it might be better than ISF as the school fee for ISF is very very high. And VSA is in the stage of improving, but of course I don't know how much time it takes to change to good. As there are too much compaints about the school in the past by parents.

Hi loklokBB,

Hi loklokBB, i agree with Ving that perhaps you should first be clear about what you are looking for in an international school.  is it the method of teaching, the language environment, the type and amount of homework, your expectation of the chinese level, and (though a bit early in your case) whether you plan to have your kid study in university in HK or overseas etc.  

majority of VSA's graduates will continue study overseas and I think the same in other international schools.  universities in HK currently only accept IB (i.e. VSA's cirriculum) students with very high marks, e.g UST will accept students with 38 points and above and the requirements for hot subjects will be at least 42 plus (45 is the full mark).  i don't have information about say GCE a level and i expect similar situation.  personally i think studying overseas provides a good personal training for a kid.

despite this long term plan, if you buy the idea of teaching our kids to become lifelong learners in a bilingual environment, VSA would be one of the choices.  the whole teaching concept is enquiry based and students do need to think and plan when they do their homework and projects.  some parents consider the primary years too easy and students do not learn much as compared to local schools.  again this depends on your expectation: whether you want the hardware (i.e. the knowledge) or the software (i.e. the research skill and presentation skill etc).  in any event, the secondary years of IB are very very demanding.

Yes Ving

I fully understand that once my daughter changes from the current local school to international school, she will not be able to change back to local school. (No one wants to keep changing school la...)

I am very firm with my belief but the ESF waiting list is just too long so would like to apply a few more IS...

Thanks anyway

我覺得你們的意見都頗中立,想問問:
1.若果我的堂哥的家庭中文水平不錯,因為他們兩夫婦都是在高中的中國文學不錯,而堂哥是港人但用普通話教中文。根據之前看到的網頁D家長說學生的說聽英文好native,但寫就多grammer/spelling錯,是真嗎?是相比local school/ IS?
2.因堂哥沒請菲,老人家湊,不多說英文的,咁佢想小朋友將來說好D, 要寫得好,就趁學校功課不多,叫佢狂看圖書及寫下日記,是否OK呢?
3.是否全部英文科由鬼/ABC教呢?每日多少個鐘?
4.另外,看以上中文的課程/練習好似有好多保存中國文化的內容,好似不錯,不 知是否由小一開始?量多嗎?D小朋友說普通話OK嗎?小息時/EVENT,D學生用什麼話多?
5.有些人說小朋友讀到小三都不懂X/除數,又話2/3練習到學期尾都未做過,是真嗎?
6.若咁誇張,不明白為何這麼多人用這麼多錢讀。
7.若想小朋友在黃金時間練好三文兩語,之後想轉回LOCAL中上上的學校,為什麼難?怎可以容易D?若中上上的學校見其英普說得下,平時在家給小朋友練習,都應該不太差吧,咁樣是否容易在小四時LOCAL插班呢?還是在中學自行派位時選BAND2頭資助學校IN呢,因IN時好學校只看IN時的英文和對時事的認識呢?
問題較多,希望各位比多D意見,謝謝!!
