請問ICS小學部, 每天小朋友會上多久中文? 是否全堂用普通話上堂呢? 中文程度又如何?

作者: Sandrine 時間: 07-12-12 13:54

hellovicky,

The kids have 2 sessions (35 min @) of Putonghua in every 6-day cycle which isn't much really. Classes are conducted in Putonghua. In pre-grade one (5 year olds), the kids are expected to be able to understand and to respond to simple questions, e.g. greeting, counting, days of the week, body parts, family, pets, etc. They are given a CD and a textbook compiled by the teachers to review at home. No writing is taught. By the end of pre-grade one, the students are streamed into either "Foreign language" or "Chinese literacy", depending on the expectations of their parents. The no. of sessions will gradually increase. The two streams use different textbooks. Please visit their website for more details.

Hi Sandrine,
Thank you to let me know. Is your child study in ICS too? Do you think this school is good or not? Since I am planning to apply Grade 1 for my daughter. Thanks!

Hi Sandrine,
I'm planning to let my girl go to ICS when she is 6, when should I apply for the school? Do you have any idea about the interview? I'm a bit worry since we mostly speak Cantonese at home (she goes to international kindergarten).
Eve

Hi eve,
I know your daughter is studying in KIC/KCIS now, but what reason makes you to plan transfer to ICS?

Hellovicky,
Yes my child is studying there and we are happy with the school. Class size is small, up to 20 for Pre-grade 1 (5 year olds), 25 for Grade 1 – 5. The teachers are caring and the children are taught to love one another. The school emphasizes character development. As it's a Christian school, Christian values and principles are integrated into the curriculum. The teacher sends out weekly newsletter to let parents know what's been taught and what will be introduced in the following week. No homework but since the kids learn phonics and do journals in school everyday, they already can read and write independently after a very short time which I'm really amazed.

When you say you want to apply for Grade 1, how old is your child? The entry year of elementary school is Pre-grade 1 (K3 in local kindie) and your child needs to be 5 before Sept 1.

Hoeve,

Please note the cut off date regarding age requirement. Kids turned 5 before Sept 1 will go to Pre-Grade 1, 6 will go to Grade 1, etc. There's no specific application period and so I'd say apply early. The application fee is due only upon admission testing, which is usually scheduled at the beginning of the year of entry. I don't think it should be a concern whether your child speaks English at home as long as she can communicate fluently in English. The interview is actually an admission test conducted by 2 specialist teachers separately. Parents will chat with the principal in his office when the kid is doing the test.

Hi Sandrine,
Thank you to let me know more about the school.
My girl is 4 yrs 9 months old in Sept 2008 so she cannot study Pre-grade 1 next year....

Hi Abbie，你都係0409媽媽，你小朋友想下年入ICS嗎？我揀ICS，其實我一路都想呀女入國際學校，因為我唔係好鍾意傳統教學，我好想呀女求學唔求分數，個人活D有自信D。以前我唔知有ICS架，我有D驚讀國際學校唔知會唔會好壞（其實都係人地講

），不過我HUBBY在百特利神學院上堂時成日見到ICS學生，佢話佢地好純好有禮貌，我就有信心了。佢個老師到有小朋友讀ICS，都話D老師好好。我諗唔到除ICS外有邊間學校係可以唔傳統教學，重要係著重信仰。
你呢，點解揀ICS？

evatsoihk,
我想佢6歲先入ICS，因為我住東區架，要搬屋。我和HUBBY都係基督徒，知道ICS著重信仰生活，好想呀女在這環境成長呀。

Hello hoeve,

Exactly same case as yours. We lived at Island East before and moved to Shatin in March this year because of ICS! You may not believe, my son sent his application when he was 4 months old! We are now living at Royal Escot, just 5 minutes away from ICS and hope that my son could join the ICS family in the coming August. Interview will take place in Feb.

You are not alone. We have also made the same changes.

你也是東區搬過去嗎，呢個真係好大的決定。我都係最近一年才考慮ICS，現在小女都3歲幾了，所以想等佢讀埋K3即5歲11個月先讀ICS。預祝你仔仔面試順利

我打算俾仔仔入讀沙田區O既國際學校, 首選英基RC, 次選ICS.
佢啱啱足4歲, 而家係九龍塘返緊K2.......而家間學校佢都返得幾開心, 但車程太遠來回要足足三小時(家住上水), 而且呢間幼稚園英文又唔係好掂.....
我怕佢遲啲去國際小學面試唔得, 而家諗緊好唔好俾佢讀ICS的幼稚園, 一O黎係國際幼稚園, 二O黎又有得優先入ICS........
但又怕轉校要從新適應.......
而家好煩......各媽咪俾啲意見, THANX!~

Hi, I'm also a fan of ICS. My son is now 3 years old and I'm planning to send him to study at R1. However, I have no idea how much chance he can get a place since I've heard that so many people want to send their children to ICS. I'd appreciate if anyone can share the style of the interview for R1.

Thanks.

Megan
