Yes, it is possible, but the same is true for other universities and english schools (primary and secondary).  
Nice to meet you again here, 猴子爸.

This is true.  But there is a rumour that some professors need to explain some concepts in cantonese as some of the students don't understand Eng well.  Have you heard of that?

Yes, I am very sure.  I am a graduate of CUHK.  Don't be misled by its school name.  Today it is getting more international and almost all major courses are lectured in English.

Are you sure?  What about CU?  I know that they teach most of the subjects in Chinese, though some of the readings given are in English.

All the top HK universities teach in English, no matter what major it is (except for chinese and chinese history, of course).  Besides, english is used widely as the official language in many work pla ...

中文始終係我地母語, 係香港要學中文係唔難.  但係學英文始終要有個環境先會學得好, 學語言都係要"浸"出嚟, 所以讀英文小學係會有幫助.

我覺得中英文同樣重要. 不過在香港, 講英文的機會真的少得可憐. 如要英文生活化及說得流利, 家長提供的環境真的很重要. 因生活在香港, 接觸中文的機會很多. 活在中文的環境裏根本不怕不會中文. 我本人的立場是先打 ...

我朋友個小朋友之前係hk讀過某國際學校, 轉左去x立書院讀書, 最後返轉頭去之前學校, 因為佢地話x立書院中文好深..如果我有錢的話會選x立書院.

我只看到英小的好處，未見有壞處。

阿女在英小畢業, 她和同學們一般都對英文特別有信心, 對中文科不太感興趣, 當然是有例外的, 但不多.

但是要留意的, 反而英小學生上中學時, 萬一上不了英中, 那個時侯仲煩, 一般英小的maths, and General Studies, 淺少少, 好似我見阿女間中睇中文 maths 文字題, 好難入手, 佢跟唔明.

唔係一定要父母英文好先可以讀英文小學, 小朋友學語言真係比大人易上手得多.

如果小朋友同大人的英文都是一般,我最怕係原本追一科英文,結果變成全部都追不上.....

升中和升小不同。孩子得確是應該選擇適合程度的中學，因為這才可保障他/她能進大學。

不要單看教學語言，這很危險。可以的話，多看過去的升學結果和成績。

Through-train schools may sound attractive to many parents.  However, there are no schools in HK that will let them take a through-train to universities.  Thus, we would always aim for the best possible schools for our kids at each stage so that they can stay competitive.  

It may sound reasonable to avoid choosing an english primary school due to the concern that our kid may end up in a chinese secondary school.  However, should we also avoid choosing any prestigious secondary schools because of the concern that our kids may not get into top universities?

先考慮中學。在香港，受母語教學政策影響，大部分初中都是用中文做主要教學語言。因此如果選擇英文小學，最好選有一條龍英文中學的學校。如果有過往的大學入學率作參考就更好。

如果選只有直屬英文中學的學校，甚至沒有中 ...

請問各位家長, 你地選以英文為教育語言的學校係因為d乜野呢?

同埋可否講一講英文小學的pros and cons??

先考慮中學。在香港，受母語教學政策影響，大部分初中都是用中文做主要教學語言。因此如果選擇英文小學，最好選有一條龍英文中學的學校。如果有過往的大學入學率作參考就更好。

如果選只有直屬英文中學的學校，甚至沒有中學，就最好要有完全的把握可令孩子升讀英文中學，否則孩子讀英文小學，但升中文中學，就絕對唔係好事。

再考慮現時就讀的幼稚園是否以英語為主要教學語言之一。如果唔係，就要準備日後升上英小時，家長和小孩都要付出多一點。因為很多考慮選英小的家長，在選幼稚園時，已有所準備，不是到現在才考慮的。
