我覺得除o左租金, 師資可能都係貴的原因, 佢d英文老師全部係NET, 個個都係degree 或master.  普通話老師都非常native (但我唔記得全部中文老師的qualification, 不過應該都好多係有degree).

其他分校 (如TKO)有些英文老師係中國人(同佢講o野唔覺係ABC, BBC, CBC...)

我都留咗位am class, 如果學之園收會放棄, 真係好貴呀 !

佢係幾間分校中最貴 , 原因應該係租金 !

I don't know all the teachers are NET, if so, it's really good.

But I also heard that some of teachers even can't speak good English, but they are not experienced teachers.

以我所見, 差不多全部都係native speaker, 並且都係有經驗同愛心的, 當我小朋友返左學之後會再多加留意, 始終果句, 最好消化一下果D朋友的朋友講的野, 始終用家最實際.

Just receive their letter with pm offer! This is the only offer my bb got so far and so I will pay for the deposit!

smile_w99

I also want to know more about the school! Pls share if any mama has their kids in this school!
I believe for a new school, they will try to build up a better image and so will employ more and good resources! The teachers and assistant there are very nice on my interview day! But not sure it's true picture or not!

Their playgroup teachers are also pn teachers. For those concern about their teaching standard, can give it a try.

playgroup, $1600/8 lessons / 1hr. is weekdays (i.e. average $200 per hour)

Weekend Playgroup (i.e. Sat) is a bit more expensive
$1500 / 6 lessons / 1 hr or $2000/8 lessons / 1 hr (i.e. average $250 per hour)

Weekdays playgroup is 2 lessons per week while Weekend playgroup only has 1 lesson per week on Sat.

They have 2 types of playgroup:
1) English Only
2) English & Putonghua

Did you also have interview on last Sat?

smile_w99

Do they have different PN classes?  I saw on the letter that there were 2 types - English & PTH or English (& chinese?).  Or actually all are English & PTH?

Is the playgroup taught by NET teacher?

melody.auko

Yes, I went for interview last sat morning, we may met in school.

smile_w99

Yes!  There were about 10 kids to join my session's interview at 12:00pm!
We may also be classmate in the future!

melody.auko

O.... we had interviewed at 9:30am but anyway we may be classmate

How old is your BB? i think your bb is small B as well so no any offer till now

smile_w99

No ar!  My b is big b (Feb)! So far I only have 3 interviews: 1 is wait list, 1 is still waiting for result while this one has pm offer!
So I'm thinking whether to start early in Mar next year since they still have vacancy for pm class!

smile_w99

oh, u said u had interview at 9:30am?!  That means they had many rounds!  I think they only got 1 round tim since not many ppl applied! :;pppp:
BTW, I also want to know if they accept any kids who did apply!

I would say this is really a English & PTH school.  Everybody suppose not to speak Cantonese.  But of course, Admin staff can talk to you in Cantonese if you prefer (but they only do so if Headmistress is not in)

PN only has English & PTH.  No Cantonese.  So only 1 type.  I think the form/letter is a standard one "copied' from other campus.  At the moment, they have 2 PN class only (PNA and PNB).  

From K1, student can choose Cantonese as elective (may be around 30 min, I asked before but forgot the exact details).  But the main teaching medium is still English & PTH.  

Yes.  Playgroup is taught by NET teacher.  There's around 8-12 student in playgroup class (I don't remember exactly).  The "main" teacher is always NET.  In addition, there's always at least 1 assistant in classroom.  The assistant is usually Chinese, but sometimes also NET.  Playgroup "main" English teacher are also the English class teacher of PNA and PNB.  Sometimes, the K2 English teacher would also teach playgroup.  So you can have chance to know nearly all their teachers (especially PN teachers) if you join playgroup.

The teachers are really good.  Very nice and love children.  May be because the school is small.  Headmistress can call the name of my daughter since 1st or 2nd month we joined even my daughter did not wear her name tag .

I think this is really a good school.  I would recommend it to parent who prefer English / PTH.
