What is the difference between two?  Not the same school with same management?

Shummamapapa

Just personal opinion.

Though they are under same management, I consider different factors when choosing kg and primary school.

利益申報，my child studies in their kg. To my standard, it is not international although there is international stream. However, the english standard is really high, while the kids wont miss exposure to Chinese. With some effort in speaking english at home, it is not difficult to help the kid acquire a good proficiency level in both speaking and teading english. Of course, if you target for LS, you have to consider that fact that their level of chinese and maths are not comparable to those famous kg. Parents should be clear about what they concern most. Honestly, I chose think kg just because my nephews also graduated from this kg.

I visited their primary school once. I think it is 'more international' than their kg, given their nationality of teachers and curriculum. I will explore more in near future.

Well, I was just sharing my observation. First, acquiring a language needs a lot of building factors. Personally, speaking english at home cannot replace the nurturing of a dynamic school environment. Speaking a language does not mean acquiring a language. So I wont think the reverse is true. More importantly, we have to think about what we concern most and think in long run, so to make our decision. There are more issues to weigh between international and traditional kinder/school. Add oil!

Think 係界限街有 Reception class 同 小學，行IB 嘅，好小人講。我之前都想報佢嘅 Reception class, 學校話仲有位，而且直升小學，但真係吾知好吾好，最後無報到。

我有唸過佢嘅小學，因為其它好HIT, 都吾知考吾考到。到底有無人知佢小學係咩環境，可否分享吓呢？

Think 朗思行IB嗎?  行IB的那所是Creative Primary school 啓思。

我問過界限街間Think, 學校話比我知由Reception Class 至 primary 都係行 IB, 聽落Reception Class 好似幾好。

但唯一吾知佢小學辦成點，靜係覺得校舍幾細，又無咩人提。

睇佢外型学校好似幾細，唔知每級有幾多班？  学費幾$ ？

Ononma

我靜係問左 Reception, 今年有兩班，4歲可入讀，每班大約18人，全日上課，$8,000/mth.  如果join 學校 lunch, 要比多幾百蚊，班主任係英藉老師，每日一堂普通話中文堂。

我靜係知咁多了，全部只係聽學校講，無機會感受過，所以吾知辦得好吾好。

收12 個月?

Ononma

收10 個月咋，所以聽落Reception 好似吾錯。

但我吾係target佢小學，吾知到時到候會吾會叫交小學留位費，吾交又吾知點，又應該吾會 support 我報其它 int'l 小學, 唸吾掂，最後無報。但有唸緊小學做 backup, 好煩。

是啊~朗思是已經得到IB機構認可的學校之一,
不是只是說自己行IB(但其實只是申請中並沒有得到認可)...
