I was also impressed by the language ability of the P1/P2 students in their briefing session. At that very momemt, I was very convinced that it would be a perfect school for our son who speaks native mandarin and is able communicate well in English at his age. However, we ended up not submitting an application to CKY for a number of reasons: cost (for what they claim to offer), location, incompatibility to local university admission requirements, among others.
Their secondary students will need to take two public exams at year 10 (a UK public exam equivalent to HKCEE - i think it is GCSE) and year 12 (IB exam). I talked to the principal (Mr Yip) in charge and was curious why they were having this kind of arrangement as everybody else will be taking one public exam starting from 2012.

He said it was a way to demonstrate the acheivements of their students - not a requirement for going to grade 11. Well, I think it may be possible that they will change the arrangement by the time our kids go to secondary schools. He also hinted that their Chinese language standard is not as high as local schools as the GCSE chinese language exam is lot easier than the HKCEE exam.
For the primary section, they mentioned that all subjects (except for PE, music, and art) will be taught by the two class teachers, sort of like the arrangement in kindergartens (Do they do the same in international schools?). I am not sure if we like this arrangement. It may be tough for a teacher to handle well on language, math, general studies all at the same time especially for the higher grades.

我有去蔡繼有在天后廟道的簡介會,他們派上台負責朗誦的小一、二學生,均能以十分流利的英語或普通話表演,但令我覺得驚奇的,是他們的父母均是地道的香港人,平日多以廣東話與他們的小朋友溝通(這個我問該校的老師)。我覺得倘若 ...
