國際學校幻稚園 升 本地小學 唔會唔浪費左??

bigbigsong

本身屋企人用中文溝通, 想幫囡囡報國際學校幼稚園, 希望幫佢打好英文的底子, 同時又不需要額外的給她報讀英文playgroup.

事實上我沒有計劃給她升讀國際學校小學, 只會升讀本地學校.

我不擔心她唔識中文, 因為我自己可以教她, 只係擔心她升讀小學時不習慣, 而且很快便會忘記過去數年來建立的英文程度(因為本地學校很小機會會整堂時間用美語溝通, 慢慢便會loss).

國際學校的一個月學費差不多5仟元, 跟本地幼稚園的收費相差很大.  而且很擔心選擇錯誤令到囡囡失去學校興趣.  

請各位給與一些寶貴意見, 謝謝!!

你說覺得浪費嗎?我不覺得,我仔仔的普通話發音很標準, 沒有口音. 雖然學不了英語, 郤學了一口普通話.
你真是要想清楚,讀local小學的話,還是讀回local幼稚園吧!

我仔仔幼稚園讀國際班, 起初原因是想佢英文好一點,我以為把他放在一個有英語的環境會train到他的英文,但現在覺的作用不大, 家中沒賓賓, 我們也不會和他說英文,讀了三年的國際班,加上由2歲起就開始在playgroup玩,到現在他的英文應該只有本地班的level, 或者只能說好一點. 頭二年他的英語根本沒有什麼突出, 每次問他老師和你說的英文你明白嗎?他都說不明白. 第三年可以明顯看出英文在進步.在這三年里, 得到的是他的普通話,可以說是很標準 我覺得樓主你要想想到底想要他讀什麼樣的小學才來決定他的幼稚園.

其實如果小學讀local
咁不如讀返local kinder
小朋友追得冇咁辛苦
因為中文難學過英文呀 ...

我都認為係...
我自己係讀完中文Kinder再讀International school 既。只讀過中文小學一年, 11歲去英國寄宿...而家D中文都OK。Pick up 都好快。但我家姐個女去HKIS 讀完 Kinder 入唔番 Local
school, 因為 International school 既教學方法同本地 Kinder 教學方法出入太大。雖然讀得好開心、但係就入唔番本地小學，太自由..... 後來用舊生子女計分入到Marymount, 但係小朋友跟得好辛苦，曰曰做中文功課都好似打仗gum....唔掂...

要俾debenture又確實好貴, 雖然我得一個小朋友, 都afford唔到, 一到小學中學學費仲貴.

其實如果我個仔唔轉走留係現在所讀的學校, 我就真係唔洗擔心, 佢可以直上小學中學. 不過我又真係好喜歡SWCK的教學模式, 所以我係take a risk to SWCK.

見你提及大仔係local DSS 小學, 學中文又有點吃力, 我估你都係寧願佢多學中文, 而冇幫佢轉IS, right?

我大仔以前讀的IS係有埋middle school & high school
debenture 同學費都唔平
學費仲要年年加得好甘
所以大仔轉左出黎,我就冇考慮俾細仔入去讀

而且當時係因為我大仔4歲時我地先從加拿大回流返港

Hi crystalpui


我依家仲plan緊細仔讀完SWCK條路應該點行
但應該唔會俾佢讀返哥哥間小學

我都認為如果目標係讀local 小學,應讀local kinder
中文真係好難學...
若真係要轉去local primary,轉去英文小學,比較上小朋 ...

This is true.  I went to a famous local english primary school and then went to IS.  I have tried jobs in public setting (government healthcare) and found that my chinese level does not qualify although all my experience and education over-qualify for the jobs!  They said... we can get you a place in uni (teaching? ,... not my cup of tea, I want to do clinical work !).

And even in the private setting, chinese is very important, at least spoken chinese.  So... I am forced to sharpen up chinese and take private chinse lessons.  It's really difficult as an adult!

But... I still choose to send my child to IS, because I don't think either my husband or I can help him out with his chinese homework.

local kinder唔收,其他IS waiting list亦排哂長龍
係得那間IS肯收我大仔,我地先俾佢讀

我細仔讀緊全日制幼兒園,佢平日響學校已經唔訓晏覺
所以,好好彩地我地唔洗特登再調較佢nap既時間
仲有一段時間先開學,你可以慢慢調較你小朋友訓晏覺既時間啦!

我大仔個時返R1,都係返pm...當時我都花了一段時間去調較佢既睡眠時間...

It seems that children go to local DSS fr IS kinder are not uncommon.  Does your son go to the primary school in HK or Kln?

My younger son went to SWCK before moving to an IS.

如果小朋友同時返KCIS 及 KCS, 中文程度當然會keep到, 不過KCIS的P1係返全日, 到時就要選擇 main stream or is stream.  如果只係返KCIS, 中文程度亦不會十分好, 不過我估會好過好多IS kinder.  個人意見, 小朋友返兩間kinder 係好辛苦.

我唔太清楚KCIS情況, 只係知KCIS小學既中文程度係比大部分IS高,用local中文書

KCIS kinder日日有普通話堂,但會有中文寫字,默書嗎??

我覺得我仔仔上到local小學
最辛苦係要寫中文字同中文默書
聽普通話 ...

aloymom,

I thought you would arrange the same kinder to younger son as the elder son.  

SWCK has just informed us an informal interview would be arranged in the late May if I would take an afternoon class.

If I accept an offer, I have to adjust my son's nap schedule as he takes morning class currently.

CreamBlue,

My elder one didnt go to SWCK.
In his previous school, 6-year-old kids go to G1... so my son goes to P2 in local primary because of his age
(but he's a small boy, so when he started P2, he ...

My case is a bit better than as my son's local DSS is not really pushy!  So the transition from IS to local school is not that difficult.  (Of course, we have adjusted our expectation!)  Actually there are a few kids coming from real IS in my boy's class!

Hi Renee

we're in Peak School's catchment area so I didnt search info for QBS or Kennedy School, sorry!
A friend of mine has 3 kids, all holding British passport,
the eldest one goes to QBS, but the younger twins cant get into QBS even they have a sister in QBS & holding foreign passport!
guess there is a very long waiting list in QBS...
(but my friend told me QBS has many asian (chinese) kids, she said heard from others, it is not easy for chinese kids to get a place in other ESF schools on hk island, execpt QBS)

oh just realised you're from 教育界!

hi renee

For me, I'm still thinking that whether we should put my daughter to KCIS or SWCK
as my friend said SWCK is a wonderful school, and her kids can learn very good english in school
For me I'm also can move to everywhere for my daughter..........
Do you know NIS has secondary school or not?

但我媽咪話,如果小朋友由細到IS,唔太識中文的話
第日出黎做野會好蝕底

"KCIS kinder日日有普通話堂,但會有中文寫字,默書嗎??" - KCIS P1 (year 1) 都無默書，kinder 應該更加無。KCIS P2 既默寫在 chinese assessment 裏，所以並非每星期。
