(Part II) Other options beside 一條龍幼稚園
Besides kindergartens I mentioned earlier, another popular choices will be the famous kindergartens like St. Catherine’s and Kentville in Kowloon Tong.
These two kindergartens have the biggest class size so they certainly serve as a guarantee of quality.
In my point of view, these two kindergartens are very different.
St. Catherine's emphasize on English skills, while Kentville emphasize on Chinese and Math Skills.
Also, Kentville kids have good self-discipline as commented by many bk parents.
However, these two are just example of another stream of kindergartens with other example like HKPS, Keenmind, Learning Habitat, York, Suka, etc.
The common characteristics of these kindergartens are they usually have tuition fees over the 24,000 limit.
As a result, the voucher is not applicable to these kindergartens and at the same time, their teaching methods will not be restricted by the voucher system.
So, this means they all offer different special programs which is not ordinary so parents must review them carefully to choose the right one for your kids.
The path following studying in this type of kindergarten will usually be DSS/ private primary schools and the children with these special training will certainly have an edge over other kids.
However, my reminder to the parents is to review all the DSS/ private primary school before you assume all of these schools are good.
Similarly, as these schools have less control by the Education Bureau, they can be very different in style.
For information on DSS and private primary school, please make the appropriate selections on the following web page:

As mentioned in Part I, there are only 40 DSS and 20 private primary schools in Hong Kong, so the choices are also limited.
For some of the famous ones, you may want to take note of the preferred kindergartens for your considerations:
St. Paul's Co-ed College Primary School: Braemar Hill and SKH
Diocesan Girls' Junior School : CCKG
Here to mention, CCKG only accepts K2 application so many parents will prefer to prepare the children in St. Catherine's during K1.
Interview for CCKG is English-only.
Part 3 will be followed later to discuss about government subsidized primary schools with related kindergartens and a piece of very important information which affects the 2007 babies. |
