大部份學科學校已經有齊。

孩子讀書,人讀佢又讀,成日想贏的,mindset 已經輸了,唔會贏得去邊處。比心機 ...
她遇然都話想出外補數化,但我成日同佢講唔好指意出外補習,因為我冇錢,啊媽已用晒份糧幫他交學費,其實睇佢的課本都不是咁深,咁難明,我確切相信上堂留心,用功做功課一定冇問題

IGCSE科目,對IB選科的影響不大,由得孩子按興趣和志向選科就是最好。喜歡讀才會學得好。

得十三,四歳, ...
數化是必修的我才緊張起來,這些科目正正是佢最差勁的,希望她能培養多點興趣,自己才能讀得上,末睇末讀就話唔明唔識,佢自己唔去面對問題所在,我也幫不了她,說到底她是從心底𥚃開始就抗佢

My sister’s daughter is studying there.

EFS Island school
year 10, 11,
只教 8IGCSE,不是10
.

學生想考多科,要自修其他科目, 而且每星期只需要上14堂學科( 每料只有2堂/week), 其他堂用來做

活動, ECA, 興趣班, 體育 自修....  ( 好 relaxed).

EFS Island school. For year 10 and 11
they only teach 8 subject and they teach 14 lessons only per week. If you want to take more subjects, the  student will do by self-study and take extra lessons in other tutor center.

EFS Island school will do teaching for only 14 lessons per week instead of 25 lessons or 30 lessons per weeks. The rest 12 lessons will be for ECA or PE or home study only.

This is the time table of Island school of Year 10:

Mon: PE and Global Prospective, student project discussion lessons

Tue: 4 academic lessons and 1 lesson self study

Wed: 1 academic lesson and 3 lessons ECA (Sports or activities) school end 2:35pm

Thru: 2 academic lessons and 3 lesson ECA

Fri:
5 academic lessons

Summary: 14 lessons per weeks, 6 lessons ECA, 2 lessons PE, 1 Lesson self study.

Other International schools (IGCSE) will teach at least 25 -30  lessons for academic per weeks and ECA will be after school hours instead of school hours.

So they always have a place available for year 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. No need to wait and pay for any nomination right. So this year they have total about 120 students new student ( 20 -28 new students per each year/grade. They are non-selective school.

If you want a school more emphasis/focus on academic for IGCSE , this school is not your choice.

From what I have seen, this year there are 12-13 seats for year 8 and 9, then around 20 for each  year 10-12.
Did you compare the timetable with KGV?

咁多科都在學校讀?咁係唔係在學校讀最少六科但其實可再讀多D?
間間ESF 中學都不同,小女yr 13, 她的年代最多12、13科,現在好像減了。

May I know how old is your kid?

You have compulsory 8 subjects already starting from year 10. The school would ask you to choose 3 more from the varieties listed above in early year 9. All this 3 subjects will start to learn in year 10.

If your child is too young, you don't need to understand it.  It may change some years later.  Please be relaxed, Don't think too much.

IGCSE 的數化並不深, 如果孩子有困难, 也许是老师的教导问题, 若孩子想找帮忙, 尝试在外找合适的人来辅助也是好的. 提议year 10 后才考虑补习也不迟, 找合适的老师不容易, 要花点时间啊!

真的不喜爱Chemistry,  IB 时可以不選的.

EFS Island school Year 8,
They still have 5 lessons not for  academic per week

For Year 8, every Tuesday::
1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th lessons: Self learning
5th lesson: tutor

For every Wed:  only take 4 lessons.

It really waste a lot of time during school hour.
I know some parents they will transfer their daughter /son to other schoosl
since year 9 for further studies because they need more time focus on academic .

有些人math 唔好就只考1科Math, 另外1科Add Math 或Pure math 不是必須的

Anyone knows the teaching lessons/hours per week for other EFS schools like

KG5 , South Island, West Island, Shatin college

I only know that EFS Island school will provide 15 hours /lessons for total 8 subjects
( including PE and Global Prospective). If student need to take more subject, they have to do self study or get tutor outside the school.

But other international schools or UK schools for GCSE or IGCSE will provide

at least 25 lessons to 30 lessons ( 25 – 35 lessons) per week for student.

The following schools will take GCSE/IGCSE for year 10 & 11

Kellett
School:
30 lessons per weeks, ECA after school ( 6 lessons per day)

French International school: 28-33 lessons per weeks. ECA after school

Korean International school ( International section): 25 lessons. ECA after school

KCIS: 25 lessons ECA after school

How come Island school will provide 15 lessons only? And the rest lessons for ECA or self study for year 10 & 11. during school hours.  One year teaching lessons only  15 x 30 weeks = 450 hours ( Island school) , but other school offer at least 25 hours x 30 weeks = 750 hours lessons . This is so big difference.


Other parents from other EFS schools for kids studying in  year 10, 11, plesae share comemnt.

小女剛完成year 11, 考完IGCSE了,過去兩年,我真的不知道任何科目的上課時數,其實有何重要呢,反正成績可接受,各間ESF的水平差不多,有人出色有人遜色。隔離學校每星期多上十小時課,不會考慮轉校吧?或是教學校如何改善?

過去兩年看著小毛頭銳變成teens,簡直驚心動魄,本來的可人兒,帥男孩,上課的樣子裝扮得像小巫婆,酗酒,濫交,濫藥,抑鬱,欺凌,寂寞,性取向疑惑等,沾上了邊便斃傢伙。家長以為知道的跟孩子世界發生的是兩碼事。

這樣的年紀很需要父母保持距離的注意和關愛,家長的敏感度要超強,才能及時扶持孩子,共渡時艱!如果孩子情緒好,兼想成績好,咪去補習社操卷,見得passpaper多,總有幫助。

間間ESF也是上五節課,每節50分鐘。一星期25堂。至於其他學校每星期26-35堂,真是要看每節多少分鐘。至於island school 用左一部份在ECA,我不太清楚year 10. 但ECA是公開招生,我冇見過是上堂時間。只有before class, lunch and after school. PE 用兩堂就好合理呀。

ESF school Island school學校Year 10, 11班每星期24堂是正確的,但我的論點是24堂裏只有15是真正係教學用途(13堂教學科igcse2PE)其他9堂用來做一些活動及興趣班包括有 Sport, culture, dance,design or self study lesson看學生選擇students choice . Island school 叫: Element .
但這9堂完全不關  IGCSE課程,
以有些學生也要外出補習, 以補學校教學不足處'因時數教少. 或學生靠自修.


我可給 Island school  time table 給參考便知道 academic lessons per week


所以作為家長我們可以選擇權去選一些學校提供正常每星期25堂學術教學,並非只是提供 15堂教學,因為其他國際學校學校每星期是最少每星期有 25 lessons foracademic  subject teaching for IGCSE course



所以在此請問其他‧家長學生是否知道  South Island, West Island , KGV, or  Shatin college的教學 lessonsper week.

你問: 至於其他學校每星期26-35堂,真是要看每節多少分鐘

我只知香港FIS, KCIS, KIS, Kellett school,Harrow HK UK state schools  Year 9, 10, 11 每節 55- 60 分鐘 , 上學術科是最少 25 /per week

我只想問 有沒有家長知道其他 ESF schoosl 是否不一樣,還是不同呢

一路睇到話在堂上ECA,我再去了解一下Year 9-11的curriculum .我不是有心批評你。但要知道學校知道igcse和IB有個gap.冇行myp所以要改革課程做到bridging .elements的內容 你可以晤buy .但唔代表學校冇正式上課
在interview 時校長清楚告訴你你的year curriculum是怎麼様,避免期望落差

以下是一位UK學者教完Island school Y12 induction week 後的感想

你想孩子有怎樣的學習熱誠呢?

Island school 老師為左做好island times and elements 付出好多努力。做多好多額外工作。我親身感受到什麼是教學熱誠。
當然如果不喜歡這樣就找間可以夾到理念的。但我真是認為IGCSE不是終極目標。改良版放多d在IBpreparation 無可厚非。

lui,

十分同意你的意見。

其實IGCSE在大學申請的評審上影響不大,是參考作用多。主要還是依靠ALevel 或是IB成績,Island 努力改革在IB preparation上,承擔更多工作量和壓力,是勇者。
