作者: Atecila 時間: 17-5-20 01:01 標題: yew Chung ITLP or anfield playgroup?
my 1.5 year old son has an offer from yew Chung for iTLP but I would also like to enrol him for anfield. I believe in play based learning but am also looking for more English exposure. Wondering if any parents can share their comments on the two schools? Thanks!!!

If you really target IS, I would recommend Anfield because of the better English environment. But if you target YC primary and secondary, then of course YC.

Thanks for the reply!! Actually I do not target at Ycis primary or secondary as such (seems some bad comments on their secondary). However I am looking for IS preferably with some Chinese programme and U.K. Curriculum if possible.

Assumed you are from local HK family, maybe Anfield playgroup then nursery will optimised your chance to attempt other through train IS k1 application, coz the interviews are all conducted in English mainly,. Or victoria /think are good choice for bilingual environment too.

YC係初期多中文少英文，讓幼兒以母語吸收知識。如果你唔係一心直上，以YC幼兒班的英文exposure去考其他IS，應該無特別優勢。
Anfield的英文語境應該係幾好，讀住去考其他IS會幫到，但中文是否合乎你需要，就要自己衡量。

Many thanks!! Yes we are a local family- hope my little one can be bilingual having good command of both English and Chinese. Hoping to send him to U.K. Or US for further studies in year 10 or so. Comparing YCIS and Victoria primary - which school has better English standard ? Seems both have good Chinese.

Does it mean going to YCIS kindy will only equip children for YCIS primary but children there may not be competitive enough for other ISs or bilingual schools like ISF, CIS or Victoria ?

我小朋友1歲已經返Anfield playgroup,因為九龍塘2歲係first step,得半日，無全日，所以讀左耀中2歲全日班，到3歲又轉回Anfield k1 full day class,K 2亦留在Anfield,佢哋好鍾意返學，鍾意所有老師！我亦好滿意Anfield!而耀中係母語廣東話為主！變左英文少左！如果你主要一半中文(國語)，一半英文，我會Kingston同Anfield.

唔可以一概而論競爭力，因為都好睇小朋友資質和家庭栽培。如果你一心bilingual school，咁YC其實都係果個路線。

Yiu Chung's early yearsis based on Cantonese with English and mandarin (it's good if you believe in having solid mother tongue is foundation to learning other languages), so you can imagine the kids' exposure to English will be less, of course with time they will catch up. But if you also only speak Cantonese at home, then the English exposure may not be enough for competitive schools year1 assessment, because your competitors are 100% English or at least 50% English in schools. Of course their are some kids who can pick up all languages quickly can still fare well but I am talking about general cases about optimising the chance.

For me if I target ESF, HKIS, CndIS, GSIS, FIS, ICS etc iI will pick Anfield. (Maybe just an isolated incident I have seen a YC kid failing ESF Y1 assessment, but so far the few kids I knew from Anfield all passed it)
If I target CIS, ISF, SIS etc I will choose Victoria, think or Kingston. ( I have seen an Anfield K2 kid got CIS offer but his mother is a native mandarin speaker. Another kid got GSIS and many competitive IS offers, except CIS, likely because he could not speak much mandarin)
不喜勿插，凡事有例外，以上提及所有學校都是好學校。

Anfield playgroup is : story time, circle time, free play time, art work, musics time etc it must be play based for 1.5 year old. Actually if you cannot make up your mind you can try each for a period of time ? Anfield PG you can just registered for one day (sat), 2d or 3 d per week. To me all international schools playgroups are pretty similar.

Thanks for the good suggestions! Actually I am looking for IS with strong Chinese programme (if there is one.. haha); otherwise bilingual primary schools. I value good command of English and a sufficient level of Chinese (for reading newspapers and write short paragraphs after p6). So top choice would be CIS (understood though it's near impossible to get in) , then Perhaps CDNIS, Victoria or ISF, Kingston . May also consider anfield, ESF but I need to research further on their Chinese level.

Thanks again! Yes I think maybe I will try both if the schedules fit to get a feel before deciding. Re play based, YCIS is child initiated free play (with total freedom having the child decide what to do/learn) - so I guess it will fit my son's character. I guess anfield may be a bit more structured play.

樓主，964000，你地好，我嘅諗法同你地都好似呀！
我囡囡而家16個月，都煩惱緊搵學校。
樓主你仔仔有YCIS offer，請問interview難嗎？可否分享下大概咩模式同問咩？我囡囡有返開playgroup，但好似咩都未好識咁，有時都有啲擔心＞_＜
本身我都有考慮YCIS，但聽各位咁講，有少少擔心英文程度會爭少少。雖然上到YCIS primary同secondary都未嘗係壞事。
另外，請問如果anfield的話，唔同campus 會唔會有唔同？會唔會Kln Tong係最好？因為我住黃埔嗰頭，anfield whampoa直頭喺屋企樓下咁滯，但我又見whampoa campus好似好細，同其他campus差好遠。

如果你住whampoa, whampoa Anfield 真係好方便，我覺得又不值得去九龍塘。但如果住中間例如何文田，我會揀KLT campus。另外KLT campus 的nursery 只收大B（1-5月出世）也要留意。讀Anfield k1 比我會揀全日，自理會好好多，如果whampoa你送飯也方便

Playgroup不用interview，如果有去開就差不多直升nursery, nursery 所謂interview, 只是play session玩下咁。其實間間英文playgroup 差不多，選邊間我看地點及升nursery ，因為國際nursery 又可直升K1的不多。

Hi there- there is actually no formal interview of the child for YCIS ITLP. The teacher is basically there to explain to the parents their education philosophy (which is child initiated free play). I guess because their play based learning is quite unique in HK with no fixed curriculum or topics, they need to make sure parents understand this before joining their playgroup otherwise it will be a mis-match of expectations.

Thx so much！！
想問清楚少少，係咪即係playgroup升pre-k時，就play session當interview，而pre-k再上k1,k2,k3時就直接升，咩都唔駛再搞？
係呀，我都係著重日後升K，所以一直都留意緊有無心水學校有搞埋playgroup，始終小朋友可以一早適應環境，如果升上去時有優先或唔駛正式interview就更好！

free play其實我都ok的，我小朋友係比較活躍，都應該適合佢。但始終英文程度係我最重要嘅考慮，因為日後有機會嘅都想帶小朋友去英國讀書，所以要再認真諗一諗。
作者: 964000 時間: 17-6-1 06:11
是的，KLT Anfield 安排是這樣，但preK 和 first step都只收Jan- May b , 所以細B可能要繼續番多年playgroup，吾知點安排。

我可以講多少少自己情況，囡囡16個月，本身打算3，4歲就陪佢一齊過英國讀書，諗住由細讀起，唔駛擔心日後適應問題。但因為某啲原因，計劃暫時要hold一hold，亦未肯定日後幾時可以過英國，所以而家主要focus英文程度高嘅IS，等日後一有機會就過去。
其實我都有擔心過IB之類嘅curriculum會否令我銜接唔到英國升學，但多謝Dear-Valerie嘅回覆，咁我都放心少少。但我個人始終其實比較prefer British education，但而家好多IS都行IB，所以選擇無咁多。請問各位有無多幾間行british education嘅IS可以recommend或分享下？

如果你打算yr10走，其實YC也好可以學些中文。
不要誤會YC英文絕對沒有問題，只是因為在幼兒階段我們要兼顧考其他學校的year 1, 而家中又沒有NET語境，所以prefer集中火力先學英文，但如果你打算在YC直升上去便沒有問題，去外國一定適應到。
