This is really a fair and objective point. My son is G1 student in CDNIS. As existing parents, we can see the changes in these few years since my son started in Reception. For early years, there were no homework, assignment or any requests about academic from school. The comments from teacher is mainly on personality development and social skills. Honestly it is also very important for a kid. In the past, it might be a bit "hea" in primary while I can see the change. My son needs to read both English and Chinese books everyday and he also has Chinese dictation every week. Schoolmanagement do listen parents’ suggestions and opinion. Think deeply, the changeis not easy but structurally – from syllabus, teaching materials, assessmentguidelines and the transition to next year. I cannot say it’s a perfect school butno school is perfect. It’s subject to your expectation. At least, my son lovesgoing to school everyday and is happy with the school, teachers and his schoolmates.

My older child is at Kellett. The curriculum is more structural compared to IB. I think your child’s characteristics matter more when you make the choice. My older one is a bit quiet.

CDNIS is very top among the IB schools. Don’t have to worry about their academic outcome.

「根正苗紅」呢個詞語可以咁用㗎咩?

多年前申請小女入讀IS,是個很急促突然的決定。基本上香港區九成傳統IS也参觀過,申請過。自己和外子也特別鐘愛Kellete,可惜當時year one 無位,然後又誤打誤撞,入了另一間很滿意的IS.

Kellete是根正苗紅的英式教育,英籍欧籍學生比例高,校風和課程亦嚴謹,家長同學十分友愛。囡囡小學同學也有轉讀Kellete的,據觀察,Kellete小學生綜合水平,跟其他IS,並無明顯分別。

你說的太好了，我確實這麼想，kellett比cdnis學術一些，我朋友發我他們year2也經常有功課，數學比cdnis深了很多，所以有些心動

老師要求嚴謹是本地教育先有?難道國際學校出名鬆散/隨意/?
鬆散/隨意系國際學校特色?
或者請你解釋下?

Yes. We are in G1. The school opened last week. Just not so academic. No any homework.

與妳相比，自己算是前輩媽媽吧。曾經也遇到類似的dilemma，特別是收到其他waiting學校的offer時，必然思考孩子能否獲得更佳的教育機會，這些不是貪心，不是虎媽，只是作為年輕媽媽普遍性惶恐而已。


有人話某校課程編排特好，有人話某校學習進度快又深，有人話某校學質素就是高。坦白講，所謂的好，深，高，在香港老牌國際學校的小學階段，是沒有甚麼意義的。真正對IS小學有心徳的過來人（意指我的睿智朋友們），終極體會：其實綜合水平是差不多，孩子喜歡學校，喜歡上學，足矣！

小學階段要學的是，喜愛閱讀，喜愛學習，習慣自律，保持純真，身心健康；高小和中學，可以學得好快⋯跑得一騎絕塵⋯⋯⋯

That’s pretty much the same workload as my daughter’s school, I think it’s quite appropriate.
Talking about homework load, the Asian parents always expect more while the westerners want less.
When I talk to a local school parent, she told me her school is very relaxed since they got roughly 3 HW daily at Y1 only, but that sounds a lot to me indeed LOL.
We have only 3 HW per week from middle primary, and the most time consuming HW is usually chinese HW.

We are in cdnis Grade 1 now. Then received year 2 offer from kellett. How to choose?

My son is at CDNIS G3 at the moment. To be honest, if you look for homework, they really don’t have any at G1-2, except Chinese homework every Mon- Thurs and read at least 20mins each day. Now at G3, they will start to have home learning (ie homework) once a week. I heard from parents that from G6 they will have homework everyday.

Just to let you know some parents really against homework. During early COVID time, some parents really complained about too much homework… a page of maths a day.

I believe if you look for more structural kind of education, Kellet will fit you better.

Actually which school is better, it really depends on what your family looking for.

Both are decent schools.
It is normal no homework in year one in most international schools. For your reference, my friend‘s daighter studied at CDNIS from Grade 1 to 13, IB result 45, studying data science at Oxford right now. （finished undergrade at Cambridge）

Homework is just kind of game and fun in grade one⋯ DO or NOT DO, doesn’t matter.

好奇想請教一吓，有邊間LS上堂一句說話都不可以講？親身經歷嗎？還是也是道聽途說？

你真的不知道？由我自己之前讀傳統學校的經驗，到現在親人教了數間LS的經驗，上堂沒有老師的批准，當然不可以隨便自己説話！

如果不知道，以為自己入錯了本地教育版，不少家長討論一間國際學校的好壞是以功課的多和控制學生的行為的嚴緊來辨別，足以知道這裏真的有不少港媽！其實外國的教育一直也是如此，之前牛劍等也有人食毒品打架，沒什麼特別，這世界什麼人也有，品行主要來自家庭教育，如果要家長式嚴緊的教育一早不應該選擇國際學校，LS更適合那些家長，上堂連一句說話也不能講！

我小朋友係小學，我自己唔知叫唔叫嚴，我小朋友/同學都有比老師沒收pop it, 放學先比返佢地，我都有收過老師投訴信話我小朋友唔share文具，而同學都耐唔耐收到老師嘅投訴信，又有個別見家長，我唔知咁樣係咪都叫做乜都唔理。
有啲將教仔責任全部歸學校，有啲視學校為小社區，互相學習，大家把尺唔同，你可以唔相信我，因為網絡講乜都得，最好係問身邊真正用家，同埋真係了解點解一間咁差嘅學校都咁多人掙…我唔係話間學校係完美，只係唔係講到咁垃圾…

佢講緊上堂打機冇老師理，唔係放學系屋企打機呀。我以前參觀過harbour school 又係上機帶headphone 打機。當年都萬五六學費一個月。咁攪真係死。有家長告訴有d學校year 4已討論喜歡邊個等等。

我女今年入咗的IS,老師真係嚴謹，上堂要求專注。我女上左一個星期已冇被老師提醒（我其實好喜歡，上堂專心，break 可以玩自己帶既玩具）
