Yew Chung or St Cath ?

abebepang

both got acceptance.... may I know
which one is better for nursery ??

mrshoho

you have YC primary for back up if you choose YC over SC

Neither YC nor SC gives you any privilege to other international school.  
YC only gives you priority to YC primary.
I know people from both schools got admitted to RC or ESF.
Keeping up with the kid's verbal English ability is key.

If I plan for international, is yew Chung better?

mrshoho

I think going to SC would give yourself more option if you have not yet decided on local or international school in the future.

abebepang

Thank you.  
I am just focusing on YC kinders

Depends on whether u are going for full day. Yew Chung offers full day kindergarten, lunch time, nap time and violin class.  SC only offers half day.

我是教界中人，也是yc家長，對耀幼的師資教學法等都非常滿意，yc是行活動教學的，和sc是不同教學法，不能比較。
我曾面試過yc，sc的畢業生，他們作答時風格各異，教學模式不同也 XD
Yc幼在幼教界有極好的聲譽，中小學就明顯差。

This is not my dream school.  I just want to give comments based on the "topic" asked - compare about the two schools.

Chill. Not here to bash your choice of dream school. All the best to you and your kid.

I read all the comments.  But I will believe in my eyes rather than comments from others.   And I talked to their students today too...  I think comments from others can only be a reference.  Many people said SIS is good.  After school visit, I do not think it's my cup of tea.   Will u choose a school for yr kid just based on others comments..?

Check comments from YC parents in babykingdom. You will have see a lot more comments.

I just had a school visit today.  I think the students of both school mainly are from HK.  May be Yew Chung will have more from mainland and other Asian countries.
  In term of language environment, I think it is better than SC as it has a very strong learning support on both English 75%& putonghua 25% daily.  Of course u need to pay for it.   Small class with qualified teachers in Yew Chung.

Majority of students at YC are Hong Kongers. The main language that is used on campus is cantonese. Parents judge whether it is indeed an international school.

我會選SC,

Yew Chung - international
St Cat - local

My girl is attending St Cat Lower Class and just accepted by RC. From my limited experience, St Cat should provide u with wider choices.

judymama

I choose st cat

iusiube

St Cath is better

Not sure if YC is good or not cos I don't have any experience with this school myself, but I don't see too many good comments about it.
