Hi,
I've a plan to let my son study in int'l kindergarden, and then change to local primary school. I had a few questions:
1. Is it difficult for him to enter local primary school as the ...
It depends which "IS" kindys you are referring to. If you are thinking about Victoria International, Kornhill International, and the like, your child will adjust fine, since they are really local kindergartens offering billingual education and perhaps use a more open teaching style.
If you are referring to CDNIS, HKIS, GSIS, etc., it is unlikely your child can easily transfer back to local primary. First, the curriculum is very different. In these IS kindys, there is no focus on words recognition, spelling, letters writing, etc. So you child will have great "academic" difficulty in P1. Secondly, the level of Chinese will be so different from local kindys. You will have to supplement the Chinese lessons with a lot of extra-curricula sessions to meet local standards. Thirdly, the teaching styles are very different. In these IS, the kids play all day. The style is very free, and they get a lot of freedom during the day. There is hardly any homework. If they jump into local primary, it will be a big culture shock for them, and a lot of hard work and hight stress level for both the child and the parent. |
