請問一開始讀國際好嗎?

linhorma

仔仔讀緊國際幼稚園, 想幫仔仔報國際直上, 因為想佢英語學得流利一點, 加上教學模式較合我心水, 無咁大壓力, 但怕佢中文會變得好差.
有朋友建議(佢自己個女都係咁), 先讀兩三年傳統小學, 有了中文根基再轉國際, 就可以中文有一定水準, 英文又可以跟上

八九歲先轉國際小學, 會否難適應? 講英文口音會否變得好港式?

想問問大家意見, 謝謝.

10歲前對一個小朋友未來嘅學習模式有好大影響，你中意IS嘅教學模式，咁你同唔同意IS嘅理念？概括而言國際學校（呢度指IB課程)係教緊學生「學習嘅態度同思考方法」，而唔係著重「學習嘅內容」，咁邊樣先係你要嘅野？講呢d係因為，中文英文能力其實只係選校其中一樣考慮因素而已

既然樓主覺得IS嘅教學模式同英語能力係你杯茶，咁點解要單單為左中文一樣野而行LS？學一種語言，唔單只依賴學校，屋企一樣好重要，喺屋企用母語講故事睇書，一樣可以保持中文能力

點解呢度部分家長會話揀IS要取捨，係因為大家揀左要小朋友「喺學校」學做人，而唔係學知識，所以揀左用其他途徑去保持中文能力

莫講話而家IS爭成4千個學位，就算將來有足夠學位比你LS轉IS, 而又當你小朋友英文能力又可以pass。你都要考慮清楚，兩種唔同嘅學制，學習模式、朋友圈子、文化，咁大轉變小朋友handle得到嗎?

最重要嘅係，有需要因為中文能力呢一樣明明屋企人都搞得掂嘅野而去take risk 嗎？

希望幫到你

幾時去IS，揀邊間IS，或去吾去IS，好睇父母想raise一個什麽樣的孩子。家長係滿意自己成長的經歷，只是想要英文勁d和少d功課。定係認同外國教育的全套，包括佢好的和不好的。

完全同意。國際學校學生有國際學生的味道和特質，家長可以喜歡或不喜歡，太遲入學，就容易缺了點Style和character.永遠補不回。 當然有些孩子在LS根本是錯配，去到IS才是真正的振翅高飛，這些是少數和另類了。
如果只能在中文和style/character之間 只選一項，我會毫不猶豫地揀style.

Yes, 通常收親都係popular 學校。

到想轉國際校時，恐怕英文跟唔上 (三 四年級的英文己經好流利，一般傳統學校學生未必跟到)， 及 插班interview 時，英文要求會高好多。
除非有背景同學校有關係及有錢，一般學校少收插班生。
另外， 小朋友已在原本學校識咗好多同學， 佢哋未必捨得。 需要考慮小朋友需要

仲有， 中文係大勢所趨， 國際學校己開始加深中文

現在的local school已經不是我地果代的情況，返全日，少都4、5樣功課，默書測考頻密，返學日子真係一日搵唔到一個鐘靜靜地玩...

any chance your daughter from DGJS?

Oh she wasn't. But from a popular school lately. It was not a spoon feeding school.

True.
I always think the essence of international school education is in the primary schools, particularly lower primary school. There are no spoon feeding but students are allow to explore, think and learn to learn.
International secondary school education is more like other typical  secondary school in any country (including local school in Hong Kong): They have tests, exams, heavy work load (particularly IB).
People think they can get both worlds by staying in LS for primary and going to IS for secondary. The fact is, they do not. They are actually missing the essence of international school if they to not start from early primary. Unfortunately, many people are either not aware of that, or they do not want to admit this fact.

Yes, agree. If the child is used to the LS ways of learning (spoon feeding), it may be very difficult to switch to IS ways of thinking and learning. Lower primary is the golden time to shape a kid's learning habit.
I would prefer the children to stay in IS, but supplement their Chinese learning in other ways.

esther.cy

Agreed with Sinsinmum that IS provide not only the language environment but also they way of thinking. My 2nd daughter is in IS now, she likes to explore, read, learn things by herself, etc., this character can hardly shaped by a traditional LS. Therefore, other than the language concern, think about what type of person u want him / her to be. It definitely helps making a right decision for your kid.

Honestly, i prefer sending the children to int'l school for stuyding the ways of thinking, learning attitude and environment.. No scores competition, the teachers are just encouraging them, not force them to do.... Initiative is the critical different in compare with the local school.. Of couse, i can't deny the academic seems not as good as the famous local school, but their thinking is much better than general  local students

現在情況，如在本地小學year 3 or 4𨍭國際學校。不是完全沒有可能。不過如ESf就冇位，可能要等到year 7.所以一係就讀到小五以上才轉。我只說現在情況，不知日後會易或難。如果你認為中文重要，local or 幾間重中文IS不可錯過。ISF (有人認為不是IS),CIS (佢中文都真係1幾好）SIS,RC. 至於英文程度，在local school 雖spoken English not native,但寫也可以好好的。
我case 係女兒完成local year 6,入IS.現在英文好好（native ）,不過我不打算俾小女兒從小讀IS,因為中文考慮。各家各因，自己衡量。

linhorma

多謝大家意見, 我都知唔易入國際小學, 不過如964000所講, 好多外國小朋友讀讀下會走, 我仔幼稚園都年年有同學走, 所以諗住插班可能會有機會.

因為自己係全職媽媽, 所以唔能夠好全面長時間教仔仔中文, 而係香港生活, 中文是必需的, 所以想佢學好兩種語言.

再次謝謝各位意見.

插班又不是想像中難，我朋友兒子小四插入Aus IS, 話一打電話問已話有位，in完即收。佢兒子在local二缐名校成績中間，沒有外國䕶照。其實IS 讀上去好多人走，你撞正可能有機。

Jane1983

樓主朋友的建議，在十幾年前，係有可能的。但係呢一刻睇，係吾合理，現在好或者唔係咁熱門的IS，都吾容易。

但剛剛批了5間新校，最近幾年亦開了吾少新IS（如Nord Angolia, Harrows...)，十年八載後，香港也野情況都吾知，很難說。
