KCIS K1 interview

joyct120

i just had the interview this morning and it's just a 20 minutes group play, and surprisingly, there isnt any other assessment being made nor asking parents any questions.
Anyone know if there will be a second interview?

Call Anita at the school office.  She will put you on waitlist. We were like 38 on the list and couldn't change to AM.  But it works out fine for us. There is no rush in the morning.

其實諗諗下PM都方便撘車番學，可以到P1番全日才搬屋。

一樣諗法而且am佢堅起唔到身

it is totally same as my thought and my only concern is secondary part only, very good reputation on KCIS kind and primary session. i can understand your wife position, i accept IS is somehow i am working with foreigners (close to 100%) and can find the diff between IS and local student

yes and i also support IS but around 70% who would likely accept the offer. Correct my concern is KCIS secondary school and i agree may think too much as he can move to other IS or local IB in the future. you know, when being a mom, really need to think more

To be honest, i think KCIS is a good school by words of mouth. I knew two friends of mine who are working at senior positions at investment banks have their kids studying there. It's not a top tier IS but certainly it's a good school and worth its price. KCIS has also been one of my targeted school (at least for kindy and primary) i am not rich and i dont have money to pay for hundred thousands/millions of debenture. It's just the matter that my wife and I would not be able to reach consensus on which curriculum to choose. My wife was graduated from a local girl school and she was not familiar with the IS curriculum. She also worried that she would not be able to help or provide any assistance to our kid on her hw. I have tried to explain to her (supported by a lot of online articles explaining about what IB/IS curriculum are) that curriculum for IS (and IB curriculum) is different to local and she doesn't need to worry about homework. Until the time she is fully understood and recognize this difference, i dont think she is ready for the IS stream yet. Sad -__-"

Do you mean your husband is a IS supporter while you prefer local school? if that's the case, then your situation is quite similar to me. If your concern is only about the secondary school section of KCIS, then if i were you, i would accept the KCIS kindy offer as talking about secondary school would be a bit too far from now. you can change to another IS for your child by the time he/she reaches to that age. Also, i have been searching around the posts about KCIS and understood that there were a lot of kids switched to ESF or other IS on their primary.

I got pm offer too...

But it seems that many people treat it as just a back up and will likely give up the offer ...

quite similar here but my hubby support IS cos he is foreigner and i half half concern secondary school part

I have also received the PM offer but I am not quite certain whether to take it or not. One main reason is that I think my spouse is not fully ready to allow my child to go for international school route yet as she is still heavily influenced by the "local mindset". To avoid starting up an argument, we may end up trying some "hybrid school" first (eg Victoria) to give our child a bit flexibility on going for either local, DSS or international stream. We may then decide our path upon choosing for the primary.
