Which International School has good Chinese Standard

Good Chinese standard ----- isn't that what most parents are looking for; at least I am.

If you are only saying which schools "have more Chinese", it would probably still be CIS, SIS plus Yew Chung in Kowloon. But from what I see, the children still prefer reading English books and many children have the Chinese phobia elmostoney mentioned. Most of them simply avoid reading/writing/using Chinese totally, and limit their Chinese to spoken Cantonese.

其實現在有些國際學校的中文課程比較強, 我個人較傾向選擇這類學校.

Would you mind sharing which international schools you believe have better/stronger Chinese programs?

我有一位親友在教統局任職, 她選擇cis.  她對esf的意見都是一般, 本地學校她就更不認同.  cis的問題是太難入, 亦有點貴族化.  而且學生都是傾向英語, 但起碼不用課餘再補習中文.  我記憶所及, cis 的中六抑或是中7課程好像有唸點巴金的家春秋.  我不是要子女做大文豪, 我舉這個例子是要說明cis 的中文課程.  另外我會考慮 sis, 不過聽聞比較與傳統學校相近, 我會再向我的親戚打聽一下.

Thanks for sharing.
