I went TT Secondary Sch open day last year. They told me only 收80%, 仲要操行一定要係'B'以上. They never heard that both TT Primary & Secondary are one dragon policy.
Let's share my information. The are not official school to teach IB. They just use IB teaching tools to provide opportunities to explore children's creativity and talents. Their exam result won't be accepted by foreign country as real IB. So they are mainly for local secondary school.
As I know, maths and PE are teach by loal teacher in english. Other subjects (except chinese) are teach by foreign teacher.
There are two things that bother me. The school bus pick up time is very early but not because of the school starts early. School bus needs to arrive school at 7:30am but school starts at 8:05am. Their reason is tey have early reading session but doubted if the children can read that early. They even don't want to eat breakfast if eake up that early. The second thing is the class size. AS I know J1 this year has 29 children (30 at the beginning but one left). I still try to persuade myself to accept $4800 school fee for class size 30 children. I am still thinking if I should take this school?????!!!!!

PE's teacher for International Section is Miss Chan who is from Beijing, she was national basketball player in China, she speaks PTH but not english.
School buses reach school before 7:30 because of St. Francis starts at 8am, there are a lot of private cars & school buses park outside the school, so our school buses have to be early in order to drive up the hill. That's what Principal Tam told us before.

I want to know how about the international stream. This is not IB and local cirrcuum. No any net in secondary school . No any international stream back up. After p6, the students will go back to main stream, then why do we pay for $5200 for international stream?
I think the reason is you can have more choices in secondary schools after they finish P.6 in IJSS.
My main reason to let my girl study in international stream is that I like her to have good foundation of languages, both English and Putonghua. Besides, she can also enjoy the small class and interactive teaching in IJSS. One more important point is, unlike the traditional international school, she can keep up the Chinese standard as the main stream students.
Actually, I'm still struggling in the direction after my girl finish P.6. Certainly, she can go back study in the main stream English Secondary School such as TTCA or she may try to apply for the other international schools like Renaissance College. Thirdly, I'm considering some of the new DSS schools like Creative and GTS.
As mentioned by other mom, the curriculum of IJSS is actually, a mixture of mainstream (mainly Chinese and Maths) with reference from IB and other oversea primary schools (mainly English and GS) so that the students are prepared to have diverse choices of school after graduation.

Thank you Chima. But , I am worried about that somebody said some students try to enter the international school after studying in TT(international stream) , failingl to the English requirment of international school.
I must first declare that I have very limited information about other students in IJSS because I don't attended the parents' meeting very often. Last year, by the end of J.3F, I heard my girl mentioned that 2 of the 4 students who left IJSS were changed to study in Renaissance College. I don't know in which grade they were accepted. According to my daughter, they were not the top students in the class.
I think to be a 插班生 in famous international school such as ESF is difficult anyway!
