SMC and CKY, how to choose?

estherking

They are both using English as the medium of instructions, and CKY is quite expensive (may be because of IB), what do you think?

NET的數目佔一半人，因為每班都會有一名，現在有30－40班，那應該約有30－40名NET。

這是一分錢一分貨的道理，若單從學費考慮，SMC是較平，亦比其它傳統學校較多NET，所以一般人都可以負擔得來。

SMC is local cirrculum. CKY is IB. They are difference cirrciculum. IB is more expersive. Of course the private  school fee variable is greater than DSS. DSS is under Gov't supervision .

我又覺得個chance未必係10%咁計!
揀得IS/CKY呢類行IB o既學校, 我諗好大部份都會出國讀書! 所以留低選擇local U可能人數相對冇咁多!
雖然local U大部份學位係預留比local schools學生, 但相對o黎講, local schools咁多畢業生, 競爭真係好激烈! 個chance真係唔容易!
況且由IB途徑入local U係冇特定限額, 咁多年後o既事冇人預計得到! 但連SPCC, DBS呢d名校都開辦IB, 我覺得local U有可能會擴大入學額!
以上純粹個人愚見!

As i know, SMC is the more NET in DSS. Of course CKY is the more net in private school

我上次係書局睇荷花最新果本小學資料書, 我留意深水涉區, 我記得登出來資料係英華係2個net, 聖瑪加利十幾個, 而cky 係2x 幾個, 如果資料有錯, 請更正. 佢應該係最多net既主流小學, cky讀到p5之後, 轉交中學既學費, 所以學費係考慮因素, 但佢新學舍應該係好靚, 投資了很設備, 收甘多學費, 都係應該!

CKY的學費係幾貴架，因為一半老師都是NET，ABC, BBC乜都有, 然後有很多普通話老師。又有兩個足球場, 音樂廳, 室內泳池, 籃球場...。無咁上下學費，點可以有咁的設施及師資。比某些學校，算是平了。

At that moment, if u choose local cirriculum, U have 90 % chance enter HK University. If u choose IB or international school , U have 10% go to HK University. So that why someone tell u under IB cirriculum, U will study in other countries University. Bcos, u chance going to HK U is low. Of course, it may be something chance in the future. But, now, the ratio is like that. If u choose IB, u must spend some budget for UNiversity in other countries.

In that case, since SMC---DSS and CKY---Private school ,then SMC is more preferable?

CKY 學費高昂，因為此校屬於 "私校" 性質，沒有政府資助！  而SMC屬於 "直資"，有政府資助。因此 HK$2 xxx就有好好資源。

保良局每年都有撥款資助蔡繼有，聽校長說，家長支付的學費主要是支付薪金，其它關於學校的雜費，就是由保良局支付。若言没有了保良局的支持，相信學費會更貴。

學校的NET乜國籍都有，美音、英音甚至印度音都有，學生是要適應。興幸未曾遇過港式英語的英語老師，俾咁貴學費，俾港式英語的老師我，我都不能接受。

聽講 CKY 前期有幾位好好老師俾其他學校 "括走"，現任老師英文發音不純正…云云。 在在都因其無政府資助，資源及資金，正正就其根源問題所在。但若加之於家長身上，學費可能比現況更加據家長負擔！撥除資源問題，CKY都係一所好學校。

Estherking, I dare not say CKY is like an IS coz it's not and it's never positioned itself as such.  What I can say is that its resources (as regards teaching staff) are way better than most 'local' English primary schools.

It's true that it places much emphasis on languages; and that their language policy does gives a very good environment (esp for Y1-2 students) for kids to practise their English and PTH.

You may wish to compare it to those summer English immersion camps - the difference is that it's an immersion camp every day in school.

Can I say CKY is more or less like an international school but has higher Chinese standard? Their students can choose to take the local public exams or the international ones when they are in Grade 12 in order to enter the universities? Sometimes I just too focus on the primary section and miss the info about secondary section.
