Depends on what you are looking for. SIS is very str ...

SIS is very, very structured. If your child is more creative, SIS may not be the right choice as not much deviation is allowed. Their older child fits well, so he is staying. Their younger one is now much happier at the new school.

Doesn't it sound familiar?

新加坡國際學校是非常一流的國際學校

全香港, 以國際學校計, 應該李國椿/gsis/cis , 之後到新加坡國際學校

Xxxxx

LPC does not count, it does not have primary or secondary.

HKIS is top as well I guess, in terms of university placement.

I have nothing more to add, except the following two points:

1. Achieving success without working hard is a myth which only happens in fairy tales, or fictions if you like. Can you imagine, say, finishing a law degree, or becoming a doctor is a result of learning without stress? Some positive stress helps kids achieve progress, not just in academics, but also in the wholesome development along the path to an adult with strong mentality and resilience, which is more needed cos' in one day, we have to loosen our grasp, let go, and let them thrive on thier own.

2. When we mention 'creativity', is it measurable? Can I objectively say one school produces more 'creative' kids, while the other just stifle kids' creativity, without first building this argument on any basis? In my view, a school is good enough so long as 'creativity' is encouraged, not deterred nor discouraged....and on this ground of rich soil, the seeds of creativity in kids' DNA will grow and thrive

SIS嘅幼稚園同lower primary其實並不太多功課，佢地嘅功課好多時候係課堂已經完成，學校大多數鼓勵閱讀，相比本地學校，小朋友有很多自己嘅玩樂時間，壓力其實並不是太大。但到高年班，我相信有功課考試，有壓力就每間學校都一樣。

問過幾個用家，去過school tour，2次open house，同d學生傾過計，在bo o k
shop買過d書，仔細研究過。結論係SIS的workload係介乎local和其他IS之間，吾係特別重。

從真實例子我所知道的可以分享一下。有關 structured 這字，我發覺好多人演釋錯了這字。structured 不代表壓力。sis 的確是很structured, 但不用於學生思維，而是用於課程，閱讀計劃，認字進度，presentation .... 每一樣都有一套measurement. 你會知道小朋友在那一方面好和差in details. 例如presentation老師會很有系統地讓家長知道小朋友應怎樣improve.例如，greeting , content, eye contact, creativity closing......etc 例如老師高度主張不要讓小朋死記present 的內容，而係要讓小朋友自己決定內容，天馬行空加imagination 會更好。我認識的小朋友現在每星期一次的presentation 自己一手包辦，回家和家長一起看評分紙，好開心。

I think that is a fair comment Ard the curriculum being 'structured' and is probably good to be able to identify the children's weaknesses. I am more concerned ard the teaching method to be too structured which may potentially limit my kids creativity and thinking at a young age. Any comments?

在英國、紐西蘭，他們有私立學校的視學報告，讓學生思考是非常重要一環，我相信這點在香港學校很難找到。

I know what this structure means. But there is an optimum structure I think, does not mean the more structure the better.

I have two kids in SIS, in P3 and P5 respectively. They both started from PY. I am a working mom and so count on them to work independently. Both are doing fine. For my kids, workload gradually increases from P4 onwards. I stopped checking my daughter's homework starting P3 because she said the teachers would correct and she did not need my help. My son is still working on that as boys usually mature at a later stage. My P5 girl now handles projects all on her own. She would liaise with her classmates herself to complete projects from scratches. I do not need to help at all.

In terms of homework, they spend about an hour or so everyday, if not less. My daughter sometimes completes her homework at school. Both of them have 2 CCAs every week. I only arrange for Chinese tuition as I do not have great faith in tuition. I feel that children should be attentive in class and would only intervene when they need help. They have Chinese and English spelling tests every week which do not require my help at all. I would revise with them when it comes to class tests and exams.

In terms of creativity, I am rather happy with their development. The school does not mold their thinking. They are free to express their ideas in class, or even challenge the teachers. This is particularly normal in upper primary. And parents are also bold and free in expressing views.

As expressed by other moms in this forum, there is no perfect school. The best one is the one that suits your child's character and you know your child best. VSA is a good school too. Hope this helps

If I have a choice between these 2 schools, I will only consider the following two factors in making the final decision.

1) Simplied Chinese vs traditional Chinese character
2) Which one my kid loves most

Both are good schools.

Thanks Leisurefan. Your comment is very reassuring! I heard that the teachers call the parents regularly when their kids are falling behind in class at sis. Is it true??
