I don't know how you got the idea that I advocate for "tossing one's kid into an expensive school" and not be take responsibility for guiding one's child.  You're right that most IS have some form of learning support.  What I'm saying is that in some other IS that I know of (which happen to charge more - sorry I would rather not name), the bar for receiving learning support is much lower, and the teaching team would rather err on the side of caution - to the point that they may even offend some parents who never noticed any special needs in their kid.  The smaller class sizes also make it easier for teachers to notice learning differences.  For someone's child who has very mild needs that generally fall out of the radar screen, the integrated support a child receives at school can change their whole learning experience in the long term, although they can probably still pass without such support.

My comment wasn't specifically directed towards VSA. I've already stressed in the previous post that it's my observation between my child's "budget IS" and some other schools. My child's IS has (in my opinion) an amazing campus, caring teacher and staff, and top-notch teaching quality...so the level of learning support strikes me as the biggest difference between it and the more pricy schools.

What type of support are you seeing in expensive IS, that VSA does not have offer?  I am just curious.  If the child has special needs, I would assume that the parents (before enrollment) would check the school that is suitable for their child and evaluate their options?  Sometimes the most expensive school doesn't necessary mean the perfect environment for the children (esp one with special needs).
From my understanding, they are very similar in nature in terms of resources and support.  Perhaps the swimming pool is "more luxurious" in Kellett or other more expensive IS, but I guess that is based on each families priorities in life and what you want to expose children to at a very young age.

If you are referring to "emotional support" or "life guidance", all schools have that, but most importantly, I think that's what us parents are for?  To help guide our children into doing the right thing and stay on the right track.  Unless of course parents feel they can just toss their children at an expensive school and hope the school manages their whole life (i.e. boarding school) lol

我小朋友讀比較經濟實惠的IS，朋友圈有其他IS的家長。我見到其中一個顯著分別係learning support，學費高昂的學校資源充足很多。呢樣野係你冇需要就唔會察覺，但往往一D mild special needs在小朋友細個時未浮面。

不過可能學費貴嘅學校，設施、上課嘅配套等好會d？

vsa校舍比cdnis細，我覺得設施足夠，亦有泳池，又不用比 capital levy, 公開試成績也唔錯呀，都係嗰句，要國際課程又要求中文水平，vsa係一個選擇

I also noticed that a lot of the international schools charge so much tuition. It's almost becoming criminal!

At least VSA, their tuition is a bit more on the moderate side vs. Kellett/CDNIS, etc.   It's much more acceptable in my opinion.

你小朋友而家讀緊邊間幼稚園？係咪veo or cwb or vic? If you’re already at Victoria then you should sort of know what sort of school VSA will be and whether it suits you/your child.
They are two very different schools so you need to ask yourself why you applied to them in the first place. 我覺得vsa 係local同埋國際學校中間攞個平衡. 中文程度OK有冇local School 咁死板同chur. Kellett 係傳統國際學校中文水平一般

我女考Chinese first language, 要讀文言文， 要分析作者的寫作手法，亦要表達自己對文章的睇法。 作文要寫450 - 500 字。 有議論文，記敍文及描寫文。 我覺得有中一二程度。
我自己覺得AL 同GCSE 程度相約。

同感。這兩年疫情，學校的努力、與家長的不斷溝通、尋求反饋、改進，真的讓人刮目相看。
尤其有機會看到孩子上網課的內容，才發現（之前以為一般般的）老師們有多認真負責有耐心，三年級之後盯功課那真是用心了。減輕了家長的負擔。

不多的吐槽點之一是校車公司。

「融樂會指出GCSE的中文課程，只有小學二至三年級程度，而GCE 的AS-Level和A-Level，亦分別只有小學五至六年級和初中的中文程度。」

朋友嘅小朋友讀緊VSA 初小
廣東話普通話流利無問題，中文程度都唔錯
只不過你問佢，你鐘意中文定英文呀？佢就會答鐘意英文多d咁囉
