Dear parents,

Anyone's kids studying at the French International School?  Please share your comments about this school.  Many, many, many thanks!!!!

用"享受"二個字來形容係FIS讀書嘅小朋友都唔算太過份,
無壓力, 假期多.....各式各樣, 貫徹法國人對生活的要求...

Thank you.  Can you tell me some more?  Such as the teachers' standard etc.

Many, many thanks.

Many, many thanks for your precious comments!!!!

Could you then please enlighten us a bit on the culture of the school?  In particulars, I would like to know whether the parents/students are "very" westernised or FIS do have students with Hong Kong/Chinese backgrounds?  Thanks a lot.

我在這兒分享三位朋友的經驗:

兩位嫁法國人的國內太太, 另一位北京人嫁法籍華僑, 媽媽們都為孩子對寫/讀中文毫無興趣而發愁, 孩子們都說流利的普通話,比香港孩子好多了, 但怎麼也不愛學中文和看中文故事書.

因為法國太太們不太喜歡家庭作業, 所以當校內的亞裔母親們希望怎麼怎麼的時候, 常常行不通.

三位朋友的丈夫都說: it's a school for lazy bones. 連兩位法國老外也覺得太輕鬆.

他們的孩子卻愛死了學校, 因為這是為孩子而設的學校, 不是為家長.

据我觀察, 這三位朋友的孩子都很聰明, 獨立, 自信, 有禮貌, 愛學習, 也主動學習, 只是不愛做重複的抄抄寫寫, 也視自己是法國人, 法英雙語, 中文是第三語言, 會說就行了.

我不知該怎麼形容, 只覺得他們早已俱備了成才的條件, 就是他們的思想, 和本地名校孩子關心的事情很不一樣.

個人感覺, 隨便說說

  相信你所說的是法國部的情況,团為法國人只會入法國部 (French Section),而一般香港人和其他國藉的只能申請入讀國際部 (International Section).
  法國部和國際部的課程是完全獨立的,一個是French curriculum, 另一個是British curriculum, 校長也是不同的,唯一相同是大家共用一個校舍.

nanshanlu

對! 他們全是法國部的.

其實唔喜歡中文, 係其它IS讀書的小朋友都會...好似係SIS嘅小朋友好多都只喜歡睇英文書...而抗拒中文書.
至於FIS的其它資料, 可能要慢慢搜集, 因為我們的家庭敍會每星期只有一天, 而且又要捉住個小朋友問, 所以每次只能夠問到小小...其實我自己都有小小意思想幫個仔轉校...因為而家SIS都好似有D轉變....

Hi RKY,

Can you brief me what's the changes of SIS?  and why these changes will make you think of helping your kids to change to another school?

Yes, there is a French int'l kindergarten at Sheung Wan.This is because of the overcrowded in French Section, they move a part of kindergarten (mainly French Stream) to Sheung Wan campus temporary and waiting for govt approval of a new campus.
