想讓小孩讀國際學校幼稚園（>90% 一條龍），但同時補習去試試考本地名直私。
請問有無過來人可以分享一下成功或失敗的例子？要補甚麼？
謝謝！

its not impossible but why do it? its different culture and system. If you opt for IS, LS wont be your cup of tea. A relative just switched from LS DSS to IS, not all DSS's are the same but she bumped into a bad one that she trusted the principal's marketing too much. the school has lot of naughty kids and no discipline cos they just focus on academics and school never wants to communicate with the parents. They are very academic driven not that they teach you well but they rush through curriculum fast and expect the kids and parents to pick them up without asking questions. My friend eventually left in the middle of the term. Many kids didn't do well in such environment not because they're dump but they burned out fast in such competitive environment and lost confidence when one or two exams they failed to excel. Still many parents like its high band 1 rate and trust their kids will not be the bottom one.

I want to try this path because I think the quality of teaching in famous local schools should be good, and they are significantly cheaper than international schools.
I believe the quality of teaching in int school is good. We can afford international schools but it does pose certain financial pressure on our family, especially since we want to save money to send the kids for overseas universities.
So my ‘plan’ is to see if she can secure a place in international kindergarten, and thus in an international elementary school and so on, while supplementing with outside classes and try interview good local schools (private and dss mainly) when she gets to k2.
Does this make sense ? Thanks a lot for any advice!

It depends on your targeted DSS or elite local schools.

International kinder 中文可以話完全唔得，另外數學也因校而異。你可以讀兩間幼稚園，一國際，一名幼。d父母話當俾小朋友玩喎（返國際時）。

我知道考DB嗰班，唔少係舊生+讀國際學校
亦聽過Boxhill有一半人會去本地小學
咁樣行唔係唔得，但要有足夠嘅閱讀能力 (中+英 both)，基本數學能力
唔一定要去補，自己教會更好
仲要，你預咗陪佢適應，唔好對成績有太高期望
亦要預咗，搞唔掂可能要轉走
其實，有d中間路線嘅直私嘅....

咁其實你小朋友讀的是本地英普私幼，應該不是樓主所指的international kinder

我只可以話，如果你走去讀「真正」嘅IS kinder, 之後走去讀local名校，俾你入到，一係中文追唔上，一係勉強叫追得上但追到氣咳。
中文難學過英文，個細路一開咗個頭，通常都寧願寫英文字睇英文書都唔想走去睇中文書寫中文字。
咁當然又會有人跳出黎話我個仔或者人地個仔由IS kinder 上local school P1都冇問題云云。
咁實有人得架，不過比例有幾多？又係咪人地得你嗰個又一定得？

We have similar plans for our son too (he's in K2 in IS but we struggle to give up his Y1 offer and resort to K3 in a local KG and then apply for P1 the coming year).
I have been teaching him Chinese (reading and writing) myself in these 2 months. He progresses pretty fast and I'm not very worried about bridging to K3 next year. Honestly, what we miss about IS is it allows my son to have lots of time for extensive reading, which is essential for his future development.
But honestly, we're not very confident in getting him to enter a prestigious DSS/Private sch as there is such a keen competition this year.

Thanks! But Victoria and ISF are not really IS per se in my opinion? They are half half local/IS I believe. But good to know Victoria leads to these good offers as my girl is in Victoria pn now. Struggling between Victoria k1 Vs IS k1 (a real international school with minimal chinese... in simplified Chinese)

I believe we are both very traditional parents when it comes to education. We want to have a better grasp of what our kid has been doing and learning. Sadly, we're not very convinced of this at this moment. Most importantly, we're not yet very convinced of the PYP curriculum. When compared with the GCSE in the past, we feel that PYP may not guarantee our kid a solid foundation to pave his way to MYP and even DP. Kids will have to be very independent and competent in self learning in order to succeed in their studies. We foresee that a lot of COSTLY private tutoring will be needed to help him cope with his further studies in IS. Plus, we both are not confident in helping him with his studies once he encounters difficulties as we both were brought up under local schooling. With all the above concerns, it seems to us that it's not worth spending sooo much to put him to IS, unless we will 100% put him to study abroad sometime later.

如果一心上local school, 唔好入 IS Kindergarten, 雖然外補，但始終training 唔同！又學校又外補，費用大，小朋友一樣辛苦！

He could catch up with DPSPD P1 chinese because St Cat gave him fair Chinese foundation before he was admitted to ESF Yr1

I think it can't live up to our expectation. We expect the school can provide more resources for the kids, or at least provide more channels for kids to explore more but I think it's a bit disappointing to me.
We'll opt for the LS pathway now, so MAY one day consider going back to LS when we feel there's a need and he is competent for that.

We'll go back to lucky draw. Indeed there's a backup local primary school for him as he has enough scores to enter it without much difficulty. We'll also try other DSS and private schools but we don't have too much confidence in passing in the interviews.

Have been through your struggle and wanted to have IS as back up while pursuing top DSS/ private schools. Finally decided to stay in IS kindergarten (or semi IS in ur perspective) til K3. At the end lucky enough to get into an elite DSS school and got offers from a few other prestigious DSS schools too.
From my opinion, after gong thru rounds of interviews from different DSS/ private schools, I believe both attitude/ personality and academics particularly language abilities like someone mentioned above of the child counts. I myself was brought up in local schooling, I believe IS can always provide better environment to groom a person’s critical thinking, creativity, expressiveness, soft skills etc, not to mention overall English ability. Those are the things can’t be trained in tuition class, while solid knowledge like grammar, spelling, Chinese words, math can always be easily supplemented through tuition. Therefore I decided to let my child stay in non local kindy and go to tuition classes instead. Fortunately it works out.
So that also leads to the question of what kind of person ur daughter tend to be? And If you stay in Victoria, can VSA be your back up?
That’s my two cents hope it helps.

Thanks for all your reply! Anyone knows if Victoria prepares kids well enough for interview at elite local primary schools? If not, how can parents supplement ? Thanks so much again
