Re: any kids studying or studied in ESF (sai kung) kinder? thks!
Hi Sophia,
My son is promoting to P.6 in CWBS in the coming term and my daughter is going to study in Abacus this Nov because she will be 3 years old in Nov.
In fact, my son transferred from Yew Chung to CWBS 2 years ago. He loves CWBS much more than YC because he finds the learning environment in CWBS more interesting and people there more friendly. As for the homework, although it is apparently that they do not have too much homework, they have a lot of exercises and assignments in the school. When we went to the parents' inerviews which we had chances to discuss with the class teacher about the learning progress of my son, we were amazed at the great projects the students accomplished during the school time. The phi of the school is that they'd rather their student do most of the execise in the school and ENJOY reading more books at home.
As for the math in international school, I, being a science graduate long long time ago, do not think that the western people are lack of logicial thinking. Most of the great mathematicians and scientists are from the western countries. From my experience, the math standard really depends on the student's eagerness to learn. Remember I have just mentioned that they are required to do a lot of exercises and assignments in the school. Students will be grouped to sit together during the exercise time according to the results of those exercises. Students of higher ability will be given more difficult exercises whilst those of "less higher" will be given special assistance by the class teacher or teaching assistant. These groupings will be changed from time to time to motivate students to work better. In my son's case, he has been in the most advanced group for the first two trimesters of the school year. When he entered the last trimester, he was asked to go the office of the Deputy Principal with another two talented fellows during the math class once a week to study more advanced science and math topics such as the logic behind suduko and the physics of wave and force. So, Sophia, do not worry about the math. In fact, my wife studied statistics in the university and she appreciates the way ESF is teaching the math subject. It really gives the students a solid foundation and clear concept of math instead of reciting the math operation. When they go to post-graduate level, the difference between the local method and the IS one will be obvious.
The above is just a personal sharing. Hope you won't mind it is too long.
