any comment about 韓國國際學校?

anyone can share about 韓國國際學校??  Thanks very much

Most international schools reach simplified Chinese. If that's your main concern, go to local school. No one concerns about simplified vs traditional Chinese within the schools. Ultimately, Chinese is not the most common world language yet, parents in IS concern English more.

請問有無小朋友讀緊中學或者知道中學的大概情況？如現在英中讀緊中一，可以申請咩班？Thanks.

Does anyone knows the standard of English and Mandarin in KIS are good or not？ If the parents only speak Cantonese at home with the child, does the child also has a good English proficiency even only reliance on the school study？

One question more, how about the comments of the KIS's secondary school, is it also good or not？How abt the academic standard in the public examination？

Actually it may be Year 3 or Year 4 depending on the cut-off age (on Aug 31). Best if you can call up school to double check. If they say Year 3 and you'd like your child to go to Year 4, perhaps you need to discuss with school on the arrangement.

Good luck!

You have to communicate with the teacher in English and your kid should apply for year 4 in he/she's in P3. Only a few students are can from South Asia and actually more than 50% of the primary students come from Korea and Japan. I believe HK students will more than Japanese students in the coming year.

I think the first question from me is what's the concern with having South Asian kids in school (I think you meant Indians and Pakistanis) - in an international school setting, and even in a few local schools, we have to accept the fact that there are many non-Chinese students and we have to be open-minded about making friends with kids from different nationalities and understanding their culture. This is one of the biggest values of attending an international school.  

Specifically on your question though, the answer is no. In my kid's class in the past academic year, there were only 2 Indian kids out of the 19 kids in the class. And both of the Indian students did very well academically and were amongst the friendliest kids in the class.

I'm interested in this school too. I was thinking to apply next year for the reception. But my friend just told me this school has a lot of 南亞裔 kids, is that true?

Good luck! I would also suggest you give the school a call to see if you will have a chance for interview these coming months.

School starts Aug 19. So your kid is going to Reception this Sept? You probably need to wait for a few months to have the interview chance if you only apply now.

Yes, you should bring your utensils if you have your own lunch.

I have to comment that they have quite a good variety of food to choose from daily. The choices are really balanced. They have Chinese, Korean, Japanese, western, Southeast Asian, vegetarian...so the kid got to try a bit of everything.

One thing I am not sure is if you choose to bring your own lunch, then perhaps you should bring your own utensils. But yes if you go for cafeteria lunch then no need to bring anything.
