I graduate from York.
I know the strength of York is Phonics. I don't know whether everything has changed, but I do remember I learned Phonics in kindergarten. It is really useful in both speaking and spelling. Students from York are strong in these two areas, e.g. I can dictate the words photosynthesis and chrysanthemum in Primary 1. I attribute this ability to my kindergarten.
In response to the concern about Chinese & Maths, well, I doubt the idea that York does not emphasize that much in these two subject. We York students can write lots of Chinese characters and form sentences out of them. When I was young, I remember reciting interesting "Poems in Dang dynasty". I don't know if it still exists but I love it.
And about Maths, indeed York never teaches complex multiplication and division since it is too hard. Yet we see no difficulties in doing calculations that a kid should know. At least we can pick up with primary school cirriculum, no matter it is an elite one or one at average level.
Hence.....if you want your kids to have a firm foundation in languages and be keen on learning, I think York is your best choice.
(The above is my opinion, and hope you all find it useful.) |
