KCS vs KCIS

meimei223

小女現讀KCS K1, 一路老師也非常好又多表演活動，今天KCIS國際打來說有位,一心打算排到差不多小學才轉，但現在要提早決定。其實我冇特別選int'l or local primary, 只要入到好學校,我哋係灣仔校網,但得15分,所以本地P1 派位唔太安全,但又不太衰因有好校網,而想入int'l school 有GSIS,CIS 但又冇乜方法.

唔知有冇mami有經驗，你哋覺得值不值為了KCIS而放棄KCS? KCIS 係一間好好的int'l school 定一般而己?

多謝大家任何意見!

KCS school fee is much cheaper and I think KCS is also very good.

Really depends on whether you wish to go for international stream.

Actually, it doesn't matters they go to Int'l or local primary, as long as they can go to a good and famous school, that is my target.  Do you think KCIS is a famous school ?

I feel sorry for your daughter with a mom only wanting to put her in a "good or famous school" base on the comment on EK, without trying to understand the different between LS and IS nor which one would suit your girl better.

"Famous/Named" school is not equivalent to "Good" school. My understanding and experience with KCS and KCIS suggest that they are good primary schools in terms of their teachers' devotion/commitment in teaching, non-profit making nature, their good and balanced language exposure (Mandarin/English).

大迷惑：KCS和KICS到底有何不同？
同是蘇浙小學不同體系，對嗎？
幼稚園分local和International. 小學階段也有區別嗎？

Littleho

KCS is a local school following the local curriculum with more traditional teaching philosophy while KCIS is an international school following British curriculum. KCS Kindergarten, KCS primary and KCIS have different teaching staff and student mix, but report to the same school prinicpal.

多謝Littleho
KCS和KCIS在同一個校舍嗎？

Yes, they share the same campus, facilities, logistics and other backend infrastructure (including accounting, etc). This may be the reason why KCIS is charging a school fee comparable to ESF in spite of its lower class size and no government subvention.

Thanks Littleho. Do you know the proportion for Chinese and English?

Littleho

KCS K1: English 40 mins; Mandarin 2hr20mins
KCS K2: English 50 mins; Mandarin 2hr10mins
KCS K3: English 60 mins; Mandarin 2hr
KCS P1-P6: Not sure, but the proportion should be around 80% Mandarin and 20% English.

KCIS Kindergaten and Reception class: English 2hr30mins; Mandarin 30 mins
KCIS P1: Mandarin 45mins; the rest is English teaching medium. Streaming for Mandarin starts P1

Thanks a lot! Littleho

本人在上個星期二 （13/3) 帶個女去KCIS 中學部考written test &interview，做完了卷後，負責人叫我們等校長親自為我們interview, 過了差不多大半小時，校長從她房走出來說：「unfortunately, I got something to do, I cannot make the interview today, sorry for keep you waiting!」當時我覺得她真是不尊重大家，話明有interview, without any reasons 就可以話唔見就唔見，太兒戲 ！

其實都知這間學校國際中學部都係吔吔嗚，但自己本人對334又沒信心，以我女皃現在是LS P.6 要突然

Actually I had been to their orientation LY.,  you could tell the teachers had no preparation for that. Bad impression! Now I understood that how come the teachers were like that !經过这次校長的行為,就明白<上樑不正，下樑歪>

之所以投考，是因為無選擇 of IS, because of the long waiting list , 見到個校長做事的態度，我巳決定即使收我個女，也不会讀。

Is there an orientation before you are admitted?

KCIS 的畢業生會絕大部份上其中學部嗎，

吳好鬥氣，如果小朋友讀local school讀得吳開心，儘快幫佢轉，始終小朋友的福祉係最緊要。
去弘立school tour，個admission officer話高班未full，可能有位，不過就係IS裡最貴。
另外，CAIS也是IS中較易入，係開心校園，不過同local school比就淺好多，可能外國真系吳同亞洲谷得咁勁。
你可以考慮吓。
