I believed both of KV and Kingston are good schools, but quite different kinds of kindergarten. Thanks all mama to share your ideas, so I got a lot from here. I have a son just finished pre-nursery school and now going into K1 in coming school year in Kingston, also have friend's kids studying in KV. Therefore I would like to take this opportunity to share my thoughts to you.
1. KV conducted in Cantonese with cheaper school fee, which is around $3,000 Vs. Kingston conducted in Mandarin and English (2 native speaking teachers in one class) with school fee around $7,500.
2. KV is strong in teaching Chinese and Math (from comments of what I heard & read) Vs. Kingston is very strong in language (after finished pre-nursery in Kingston, with good pronunciation, my son can understand and communicate well with native speakers of Mandarin and English, in fact, we are using Cantonese at home)
3. KV big class Vs. Kingston small class (2:16 max, 1 Eng & 1 Mandarin teacher)
4. KV is using local teaching method Vs. Kingston is using IB, which is a worldwide education program focusing on critical thinking.
5. KV not many activities for kids Vs Kingston has many hands-on learning activties
6. KV offers interview for every applicant Vs Kingston NOT
Most parents know KV well coz' many of their children go to famous local primary school, while most of the Kingston parents tend to choose International school for their kids after kindergarten, but I also know some kids go to DBS, Maryknoll, etc...
if you could afford and believe 0-6 year is the golden opportunity for children to learn language, you may consider Kingston as you don't need to spend extra money for them in attending addition Eng or Mandarin class outside. Students in Kingston are trained to be more confident and more willing to express themselves even in pre-nursery. About Math, I know the graduates from KV should be able to solve addition and subtraction questions with double digits. Counting is about understanding, different from learning language, so I think kids can be trained about counting at home. Apart from teaching method, Kingston teachers are very caring and professional on the growth of kids. They know well of the behavior of different stage of kids, so handle them well. But of course, it's all about your choice.
