HELP!! Sha Tin Junior School vs Renaissance College揀邊間好?

FattyDaddy

Simply put, Shatin Junior School is an international school while Renaissance College is an "international style" local school, I'm sure you can make the right choice based on this difference.

"At capacity, 70 per cent of students enrolled must have one parent with Hong Kong Permanent Resident status."

Renaissance College is a Private Independent School (PIS) run by ESF Educational Services Ltd.

I guess you know the difference between PIS and ESF schools? {:1_1:}

Yes, you are right. It is the curriculum that matters, not the demographics.

Correct, the curriculum differs too ...

Renaissance College
---------------------------
We also offer one of the strongest Chinese language programmes in the international education system and are the only school in Hong Kong to offer the DP Theory of Knowledge (ToK) taught in Chinese and English.

ESF
-----
ESF has traditionally taught the National Curriculum of England and Wales

So, if Chinese is a major concern, you know which to choose {:1_1:}

Do anyone know that hows the students' discipline of SJS and RC? ...

Hehe, I know someone will probably pick on me for my (over) simplifications, but here goes ...

Shatin Junior will probably produce a GwaiMui of Asian appearance, while Renaissance might produce a Westernized Hongkonger. The latter is likely to retain more of the traditional Chinese values and be more disciplined but perhaps less out-going.

People can debate for hours over what exactly is an international school, but sometimes complex issues can be made clearer by thinking in simple terms {:1_1:}

My boys are not those what people regard as 'obedient', but so far they have been very good both at home and at school ...

This is an interesting point, many parents might equate obedience to discipline, but they are very different.

Obedience is obey and don't question, just do it because those who have authority know better than you. Discipline is understanding why the rules are there and agreeing to them.

Obedience is desirable and even necessary when a child is very young and can't reason properly, but it should gradually be converted to discipline as the child develops.
