The teachers teach English should be native speakers, though some look like Chinese are also native speakers (without any accent). The class teachers, one PTH and one English will teach different subjects in the class, like Maths, Science...

Always cannot understand why native teachers are QUALITY teacher and local teachers are not QUALITY teacher???????
Don't get it wrong here, I did not say that quality teachers is exclusive to teachers from foreign countries only. Neither I mentioned that local teachers do not have the quality.
Why parents always prefer or proud of kids speaking English as Foreigners but we are Chinese!! Why Chinese need to speak fluent English but not fluent Cantonese and Mandarin and write well in Chinese!
Just want to give my observation on the learning of languages.
I think the environment in CKY is very good compared to most local schools since they have one native English teacher and one Chinese Putonghua teacher for each class. From my experience, a kid, especially at younger age, learns English (or Putonghua) more effectively from peers than from teachers. That's why a kid at CKY may not be able to achieve to a standard comparable to those at international schools. Of course, parents' support play a very important role. Better support, I mean more time spent on the kid, would definitely help.

I visited their Biology and Physics classrooms, the physics teacher was a foreigner, the biology teacher was a chinese but spoke fluent English. I had the impression that their secondary students had a very good English exposure in classroom lessons. I saw there was another English man who was in the Geography room. It seems CKY has got numerous native english teachers in teaching science. The tuition fees is not expensive if they offer such school facilities and quality teachers.
