有家長為放棄本地名幼，選國際學校而後悔嗎？

讀IS 此終有英文優勢，因為大部分LS 學生英文都太爛。

始終讀is 啲小朋友比較早有自己想法,做父母要配合,要講道理,𣎴可以凡事也逼他們做。

I totally agree with you on this.
I need to look up the dictionary from time to time when my kid asks me / uses new vocabulary haha

如果一開始就打算去外國讀大學，讀國際學校又點會後悔？

You're right, those who regret are usually the ones who don't have a clear idea where their children will probably end up studying or living.

選得IS應該都清楚個分別，唔會後悔吧，而IS同名小學其實成個path同學習模式分別極大，決定時要諗得好清楚

Oh I see where you coming from. Honestly at this point we haven't decided yet which route (private vs public)in the States. But for sure we will move into a good school district should we go with public.
Sending him back to the States not solely for the "English" environment. We love the space and the culture there. I think he will benefit from more fun activity options and fresh air etc. Something quite important for kid besides top-notch education.
So private or not...it's not my main concern at this point.

Public is not a big deal, you can pick district.  Private is another matter, you also have to worry about getting in.  Will the Eng be good enough to get in?

I'm not sure about private or public in the states yet. We are citizens, can go with public....just need to settle at a good school district.
Do u mean if I consider LS then he is less likely to be able to catch up at private in the states? Can you elaborate?

Tks ckwliu!

Yes, sure we'll further review and pray together.   

This summer, when his little brother made the decision to join Y6 of the IB stream, my elder son had told me that he preferred IB.   He said it's more interesting and stimulating.    However, I considered him suitable for the DSE as he used to have a good memory and more willing to follow instructions.

As I haven't expected he'll like to join the IB stream, I haven't taken any action yet as I's also not ready.    If his little brother got settle down in these few months, I might further review with him this year and hopefully it's not too late as he's in F.2.   Will say the prayer for our Lord to lead the way!

Hi all! I'm new to this forum and I'm a new mom! My son is turning two soon. I've been doing some research and looking through information between LS and IS. Me and my husband don't like the pressure going to interview for little kid as young as a year old. After all, my son was not even speaking at that time.

So we sent him to Tutortime for playgroup and now at Anfield for Nursery. We also plan for him to go back to the US to study when he's around 13-14. My only concern is ( and I wonder if anyone of you have the same situation) his proficiency in Chinese reading and writing. My in-laws are Taiwanese and my husband's base is in HK/china. I would like to take the advantage of the 10 years time while my son is in HK to learn the basic of reading/writing Chinese.

So I start looking into some LS school (though some claim to be IS but i still believe they are not truly IS) like Learning Habitat, st cath, Keen mind, victoria, Ming sung, etc. but I'm very afraid I may regret.....

Do you guys, who picked IS, take your kids to ECA for extra help in Chinese?

Sadly!   Both of them are not good at Chinese!

The other way might be get off after taking ICGSE!

But bear in mind, IB not fit all kids in general, language proficiency is extremely important. If your elder son matches IB curriculum and teaching method, that's wonderful.

Yes, we'll pray for that!

But a bit sad if have to leave the school as they haven't got IB stream!   My elder son is studying in a DSS Christian school at Shun Li!
