唔係喎, 我仔而家日文堂, 一星期都有兩日喎。P1果時都係。點解你會話得一堂?

BTW, TSL小一中文係廣東話教, 主要目的係想小朋友習慣升小生活, 如果一下子全英又PTH, 小朋友可能未必HANDLE到。而家呀仔小二, PTH教 ...

Silvia,
THanks for correcting my outdated info.  That would allow parents to know more.   Both are good schools and it's very important for parents to know what they want and which style suits thier children better

其實我都想知當TSL收時, 大家豪不猶疑去register, 但SMC收時, 大家會reconsider......但它地算是同類型school.  是否因為SMC名氣未夠?  中學部未能令人buildup信心?

除左中學成績之外, 我睇幾樣啦。學費, 一個3XXX, 一個1XXX。而個CAMPUS係平果個佔優，校網又係YTM。
而SMC既小學都做得好好, 又會GROUP按能力教學。

TSL uses Cantonese as the teaching medium for Chinese for P1. If the children have Mandarin Chinese lessons in kindergarten, they should choose SMC.

今期親子王有講學第四種語言, 而TSL AND SMC都有介紹少少

補充:
TSL: P1-P6 好似要選JAPANSES OR FRENCH, 但唔知是否由P1-P6都學同一種
SMC: P1-P2 要學spanish, french, japanese, 是每個term 一種, 到p3再選定一種至p6, 中學可以接住, 而且要考公開試

Class size is another concern. 175 seats for 5 classes in TSL, while 80+ for 3 classes in SMC (which are actually divided into 4 groups on core subjects).

For TSL, you can't change the 3rd language once you have chosen in P1.

It is difficult to choose...

I will choose based on the "real language environment" rather than "presented language environment"

I like them both.  I like SMC b/c it teaches Chinese in Putonghua starting from Primary 1.  I also like TSL as I can walk to the school in less than 8 minutes.  

Just hoping that I can get an offer w ...

真係魚與熊掌.........
我想最主要的原因是smc學費貴tsl的一倍, 所以, 如果tsl收, 好多家長都會選tsl, 放棄smc;

cpcog

but I really think SMC worths charging more while more activities and NETs would be offered.

可否比較一下兩校NET的數目?

cpcog

according to my info, SMC should have over 10 NETs and TSL should have about 5. Maybe some parents can tell us the exact number.
But one thing I am quite sure about is SMC would offer 1 local and 1 NET class teachers for the lower form classes. I like this bilngual system.

SMC學費貴D既原因除左因為NET數目多D之外, 佢地真係行小班, 呢點對小朋友係學習上面有好大幫助.

Agree.
I also found out that the teachers really use English as the teaching medium in SMC. However, my husband heard the teacher used Chinese to teach PE in TSL.

but, maybe there are more non-Chinese studying in TSL?

Hbaby

小班教學真係好好多, SMC唔會多過20人上CHI,ENG,MATHS堂, 但學費比TSL貴差唔多千五以上

G-Ma

smc真係幾注重英語環境, 佢地PE, MUSIC, ART堂, 早會, 周會, 運動會及好多不同表演活動都係用英文, 小朋友都好習慣呢個模式.

咁當然TSL英文環境都好好, 不過實際情況我就唔太清楚.

Or, any other parents know?
