Hi Kyliema2006
Thanks much for your detailed feedback. I very much agree with you. I've spoken to several CKY parents over the past few days and have some new insights too. I believe they are quite in line with what you've mentioned:
1) the language level might vary, esp. for the upper class students, but that applies to all school and CKY already has an excellent language environment
2) for project work, it's expected that the young students in early years would need support from parents, but they also learn a lot through the process. Then upper class students will be doing projects all by themselves.
3) I also can't agree more that whether outside tutoring is needed very much depends on the parents' availability and philosophy, rather than the school itself. For CKY, this is definitely not necessary/required.

Thanks again. I will be doing registration tomorrow or Thurs. Hope they would allow us to roam around to see some students' work. =)

I'm also facing similar choices for my daughter: CKY vs DGJS. I do really a ...

1）這些“謠言”及“聽聞”只是口講口賠，不如親自感受一下。若果你會到CKY註冊，可以到六樓的圖書館走一轉，內藏很多不同類型的學生作品的結集，包括中文，英文，科學，美術，遊學團的結集等。而名為“有園”的書冊，就結集了部份五年級論文的作品，所有的結集，保証原汁原味，並無老師的加工。當然，可以印刷成書，也不會太差吧！其實我覺得還有很多不錯的作品只是没有被挑選到。至於高年級的英語程度是否比外間very average的中學還要差，我只會說達入反叛期的青少年，喜歡惡搞，學校的語文規定也不喜歡跟從，但不代表他們不能說或不能寫。至於個別學生是英語高手或是低手，就因人而異了。客觀上，論語境，蔡繼有應該比local school優勝。

2）唔知道

3）若論Science Project，學校會選出好的作品於Science Fair時展示出來，屆時就會發覺，越低年級，作品越漂亮，每次都令我忍不住唧唧稱奇。其實做得好或是不好也不會計分的，只是家長們都很樂於協助低年級工作，這只是家長們的選擇。到中學，很多Projects都是學生分組在課堂完成的。

4）需要與否，看看你會否教導自己的孩子。以為孩子在蔡繼有讀就可以放心唔理﹣﹣這個觀念是大錯特錯的。係蔡繼有讀，尤其是初小，家長每晚都應該與孩子看不同類型的書籍，要令孩子養成閱讀的習慣。若環境許可，也要在家中與孩子說英語或普通話，這可令學習事半功倍。孩子越大，就要訓練他的判斷能力，真係好忙下㗎！

蔡繼有的最大好處就是有空間，有空間讓孩子嘗試失敗， 一次考試成績不理想，也不會是世界末日。有機會讓孩子發揮長處，讓自己了解自己的短處，但能改進乎，就要靠自己及家人的支持啦！

I'm also facing similar choices for my daughter: CKY vs DGJS. I do really appreciate the philosophy of CKY and that's why it has been my family's top choice. However, our main concern is their implementation and lack of track record on IB exam results. Afterall, good implementation is quite key to even the best philosophy. For example, we have heard some rumors about CKY - would appreciate it if someone can help clarify:

1) Language: I've heard that the students don't really have such good level of English, especially the upper years students. Some of them don't even compare well with the English level of a very average traditional school.

2) High turnover of teachers: I've heard that a lot of the good teachers leave CKY very soon to say international schools because of reputation or pay. Wonder how true that is.

3) Workload: this I don't really mind, but I've heard that the workload of CKY is actually quite heavy and students need to do projects that are beyond their abilities. Therefore, parents need to either hire tutors or spend a lot of time helping their kids with school work.

4) Outside tutoring: heard that more and more CKY students are getting outside tutoring help on various subjects. One main reason I like CKY is I thought that this is not necessary...

I understand this is not the main discussion topic here, so I will post similar questions under CKY and hope to get direct feedback from CKY parents.

其實喜歡蔡繼有理念的家長，他們是傾向國際學校的教育模式的，但又不會有放棄學習中文的問題，所以選擇是不困難的。若有猶豫，或許你仍未完全接受蔡繼有的理念。其實我也有類似的問題，不過是另一間相當不錯的學校，但我們已有所決定。可能結果與大眾期望也許不同，但對我們來說，教育最重要是使學生對學習有興趣。

我上年是 CKY VS St Paul's convent,  最後 選擇了 CKY,   我選擇 CKY  是喜歡 CKY 的學習模式及小班及雙班主任/ 男女校, 囡囡性格較適合活動教學,  囡囡現在Y1讀得很開心, 她又學到野, (短短幾個月英文進步得很快) , St Paul's Convent 是 42人一班的  大班的 傳統名校,   你囡囡好叻, 仲有  DGJS, 真係難決定. 你問 囡囡最鍾意邊間再決定,

CKY 而家都收左，原本諗住揀DG，而家又心大心細想揀CKY，因為我地頗喜歡CKY 學習模式同行IB，唔知點好

嘩 講到'害咗佢一生'咁嚴重
我相信揀讀 dgjs／spc 都一樣有機會'害咗佢一生'
點解你咁介意 d 旁邊人嘅說話而唔重視校長嘅睇法呢？

你有冇問過你女嘅意見？

成功非僥倖, 若在沒有其他外在的因素影響下我相信唔會兩次都睇錯的...
祝你女兒在dgjs學習愉快...

我個女讀幼兒園,同好彩自己考入去。

spmok1999

如果你阿女係考入去DGJS的而你阿女又鍾意DGJS的話就比個機會佢試下, 起碼唔會浪費之前準備面試o既心機同時間...
另外又想好奇問下你阿女係讀spn定係spk? 又係唔係考入去的?

我朋友兩年前放棄DGJS，揀咗聖士提反，因為呀女強烈反對讀女校。所以，世事無奇 ...

Did your friend regret her decision at that time ?
