大家好，如果唔係太重視中文學習，呢兩間學校點比較呢？(emoji)(emoji)

仲有幾個方面可以考慮：
1. 外語－重唔重視？Gsis學德文。有人覺得德文ok容易，去歐洲升學有用。有人覺得好難，花咁多時間學一樣唔算popular 又難的語文，好浪費時間。Cis有third language，可以唔揀，揀咗唔鍾意亦可以 drop。

2. 心儀英國或美國大學－前者Gsis，Cis兩邊都幾好

3. 體育運動－ Gsis唔太重視

“the Swiss consulate confirmed it would terminate its involvement and funding for the GSIS. It also threatened further action if the school did not remove the words “Swiss” and “Schweizerische” from its name.”

placement係客觀數據，perfect與否係主觀判斷，無所謂。

Besides languages, other things worth considered:
GSIS is “relatively” more down to earth. GSIS primary is basically half day school and I believe it’s the only half day IS available, parents can join optional ECA to make it full day and has schoolbus cover. I think they teach sports quite seriously and have strong teams in hockeys. If you consider top notched UK boarding schools, GSIS has very good track record.(not saying CIS not good). A lot of embassy families choose GSIS, generally a more westernised community. It has very strict admission policy, sometimes even kids of alumni and siblings couldn’t get in (something to consider so your second child/grandchild may not have absolute advantage). Moreover more politics recently with a lot of parties involved and many voices.
CIS has more exchanges and connections with big name Chinese companies and has mandatory boarding in Hangzhou at Y10. Kids of 騰訊, HK and Mainland tycoons will choose CIS.
Both schools are not pushy for kinder and primary and have good uni placement. For reference: US uni placement for CIS is about 50%, GSIS 30-40%, HKIS 70%. (Subject yo yearly variation).

唔好意思我睇法有啲唔同，成績其實好其次，出到嚟做嘢就知道，完全同做嘢成就冇關係，但係人脈係跟你一世

我理解你嘅想法……但是

自己仔女吾夠分，入吾到好科
富豪仔女就任揀科
讀完大學再靠人脈？
我覺得好remote

不過人脈方面又不要太高期望，因為富豪和平民通常分開玩，富豪去到中學又多數出國，未必會想去Hangzhou boarding，而且始終只佔少數。
不過我估點都識識地或認得你卦，我識得的CIS家長都是普通人。

兩間學校考40+分的學生人數都係四十幾人，都有一個勁學生的critical mass，去帶動讀書氣氛。如果你唔係富豪，收得貴子弟入去，應該多少有d能耐，都係40+分果批

我冇咁樂觀。
單以數量計吾多可靠，以% 睇比較，75% 40+ 真是好吸引

都有。G校國際stream，英文係1st language，德文係必然2nd language。如果第三語文揀法文，就在學校就無中文exposure了。C校係bilingual，第三語文可選法文或西班牙文。

Another point to consider is CIS is all IB school and won’t do IGCSE, but GSIS will do IGCSE and the curriculum is somewhat closer to British national curriculum with some IB features, and IBDP for the last 2 years.
There are pros and cons for both systems.

如果想插班G6/7呢兩間應該要如何準備？GSIS學術方面要求會去到咩程度？小孩現在local 一綫英文直資大約是b1b 生，有參加一體一藝校隊，有咩可以令佢portfolio stand out more?

實力做卷。
除非有錢買債卷，或者有兄姐priority，否則咩體藝都係假。

是做中英數3份卷？卷的程度同same grade 嘅local school學術會高d嗎？方間有冇專幫考插班的training course 可以上？

另外這2間是有報便有得interview 還是有空位才跟報名次序call人in呢？

兩間都係Year 7有mass intake。G校考英文和數學卷，無面試。C校考中英數卷，加英文和普通話面試。
深唔深好難講，考到就易，唔得就難。

C校係報得就一定有得坐低考。
G校講就話睇吓人數先決定，你驚可以早一兩年報定，但據呢幾年了解，都係早一年都有位考。
