DBS Vs SPCC - a difficult decision
Dear ABCD5678,
I guess you have come to the same difficult situation choosing between DBS and SPCC. It is too good if we could have some sharing.
Our son is lucky enough to have been accepted by SPC, SPCC and DBS. Despite being an old boy of SPC, I have already given up SPC for personal reasons. We have yet to make up our minds between SPCC and DBS. Here is my preliminary assessment: -
(1) Curriculum - both stress on little pressure, multi-intelligence or whole person development, though the general impression is that SPCC tends to put comparatively more weight on academic achievement whereas DBS places more emphasis on extra-curricular activities.
(2) SPCC is a Chinese Primary school, though we all know her English teaching resources are even better than most of the "English" Primary schools. Students are expected to use more English in DBS but of course, to a certain extent, at the expenses of Chinese lanauage development which is increasingly important these days.
(3) Teaching resources and teaching staff - comparable
(4) Physical environment – comparable (brand new campus for SPCC in 08/09, DBS's campus is also new for just a few years and has the advantage of sharing the Secondary school campus esp. grass pitch).
(5) as far as I know SPCC allows secondary students (F4-6) to choose IB programme (see prospectus). DBS has not made such pledge. Anyway this is too remote and given the trend, I am quite certain that both will embark on IB at least for the upper secondary forms.
(6) On the soft side, have you ever seen DBS and SPCC competing against each other in Music Festival (say Orchestra)? When SPCC won, the students go up the stage, get the award, smile, bow decently and courteously. When DBS won, students go up the stage, get the award, hold their fists and shouted "Yes!". Perhaps this could give you an idea - one is always courteous and upright, the other is full of passion.
The above may be wrong or is just my impression. Parents of DBS and SPCC are most welcome to give us some ideas.
Cheers
