培正 or YMCA 新會港青基信?

yinichanwang

我仔同妳小朋友一間國際學校的。
債券問題令我有這個考慮。
我偶然認識了兩個在ymca讀的year 2學生。發覺她們語言, 談吐很不錯。

oh 咁岩？ 你小朋友重有考培正，真厲害！ 我都是覺得個debenture已劃分了一批家長 我認識YMCA 都是經一個CAIS 的家長。之後去到YMCA interview都認識另一個當時讀緊year 1 的家長，佢對我講間學校唔錯，有到探訪老人院同老人家表演的活動。而interview當日我都見到d mix, 印度藉的小朋友，我喜歡YMCA 係致力於平民化的小學，佢既kindie同ECA 都攪得唔錯平靚正。

當初考培正都是嘗試下, 因為是我的母校。
我都在掙扎中(培正/YMCA/existing school。課程校風我都十分喜歡現在間學校。不過對於未來唔清楚的學費和債券增幅, 真係要好好想一想, 因為我還有一個兩歲細女。

以我見現時再推遲用得新campus的時間是2017, 不斷延遲及超支係令到debenture有機會上到500K (50 萬). 新校舍係設計圖上係好grand, 新校舍用得後係會令學校更有吸引力，更能提升級數，及應可收多d 學生。但錢亦是要賠上的。

係得两个選擇？我都係因PC既英文(同你—样係心入边—條刺吖~)所以無考到佢｡阿女讀九龍塘私校，都係中小，但从小培養英文方面，而家都係1a英中讀得幾ok.所以中小唔係问題，但你要再係校外加料進補聽寫讀講。唔可以懶！中学我覚得始終英中俾到多d机会接触英文係会吸收得快d~

我擔心始終中小的英文, 所以科目(除英文科外) 都係中文, 担白說我到中學都唔係好加減乘除同好多常識科學的英文。英小各科包括的英文用語和日常語境, 並不是補習可以做到。所以是我們要考慮的是究竟想語言行先抑或要名校。

樓主pc舊生一定清楚有乜好和壞處，既然要考慮，應相信國際條路arm佢d，如果係咁，當然找間熱門ga la, 以e＋個trend, debenture 除時會變成另類mpf , 唔夠咪銀行借。

熊牛不兩立

如心儀英文語境，SMC 聖瑪加利都係不錯選擇喎。現在好似仲有得報名

其實真係两類吾同學校。
如果求穩陣，當然揀培正，百年老校，絶對配合香港的教育制度。
YMCA 走國際學校路線，未有成績，中學亦都係走國際路線，以香港的直資中學看來，他應算最接近國際學校。
如果想小朋友開心學習，不追求成績，説—口流利英語， YMCA CS 可以做到。
唯獨是我們家長要調節自己心態，接受英國模式的教育，因學校主打老師都是英國人或BBC.

以前hk 模式咪based on uk.  冇耐前 英首相仲話hk 可借鏡，我覺得有有時家長要留意世界的轉變和眼光要放遠一點（雖然冇人有crystal ball).
另外net 教英文當然好，但知否net staff turnover 好高，好的會去人工較高的IS，若最終target 入間half decent u, 找間有track record 的 is 始終會安心d。

I would go for YMCA because of the following reasons:

(a) English is very important. Learning English from private tutor can only improve English at work/school level, not daily conversation. to improve English for daily conversation, you can only take your kids to join English extra curricular activities which provides English environment. But with the heavy homework at local school, you may not have time to do it.

(b) Chinese is weaker at YMCA. But, if you live in HK, your kids will have a lot of exposure to Chinese. With less homework at YMCA, it is easier to do more reading in Chinese. I think it is easier for you to teach Chinese to your kids from your daily life, from reading newspaper etc.

(c) PC is a famous school for sure. But if your kids will study abroad and in future when they go to work, who cares which school you graduate from. but people can tell the diff when you open your mouth and speak in English.

(d) other than knowledge, this kind of IS or half IS can normally widen the world vision of your kids e.g. they know how to interact with ppl of different colours. they normally train your kids to become more creative and outspoken. these are assets which are valuable to their future career.

(e) YMCA is very experienced in education. their kindie and secondary school are well known to be caring and not pushy. It's not a must to go to its secondary school directly, but your kids will have priority and the primary and secondary school share the same board of directors, i think unless your kids' performance is so bad (then it makes no diff wherever they study), at least the primary school can help you to secure a place at the secondary school.

(f) if $ is not your concern, of course, famous and well established IS would be better. but you have 2 kids and plan to study aboard, it may be better to save some money for future use. For the famous IS, other than the fee, debenture etc, you don't know if it incurs other costs, eg donation, overseas tours etc. you need to carefully think of your budget before you make any decision.

Hope it helps.

培中是教英數,用英文書bor.你應該清楚.自己用d努力,唔難catch up.
大把培正畢業生升學海外，問題不大.

其實本地好多直資名校eg.SPCC既小学都係中文小学,中学d英文咪一样好.有d仲再能轉去一綫IS.
不過其實樓主心中已有答案,想讀間以英語為教學語言的学校，做白老鼠也在所不計。只是唔捨得培正既名氣.

其實樓主應該諗埋你諗住個小朋友幾大送出國,target邊類学校.
唔係開口講到英文就收,都要你学術夠考得到.

嘩!你係ymca fans呀!東涌間基信只band 2. profile 一般, 你對呢間新校的信心大到難以理解.

pt b.談何容易,如果你真係用家,你会明白在國際学校長大的学生,中文要保持一定水平是很難做到的.Do some Chinese reading,讀下報只係保到你唔係中文文盲.不過，樓主又似乎不太care小朋友的中文程度

pt c. "Who care which school you are graduated" 你一廂情願咁諗ok,但事實歸事實,名校在升學及就業有很大的優勢,我以前工作地方就好鍾意請dbs,dgs的.仲有係咪名牌大学.雖然PC未到呢個rank,不過起碼一看都識.
好,在外國,見工,在一间ranking高的business school graduated,但大学不是最出名果幾間,interviewer諱言話雖然你大学business school ranking高d,但因為該大学不是最出名.再見!
如果樓主小朋友送去外國，学到一口流利的英語根本不難.

我唔係話ymca唔好,我也祝福佢將來是一間好好的学校。只是，一問学校最後辦得好唔好有好多因素,單看課程似乎不太切合實情. 現階段，too early to say.

其實識唔少留學回來的人, oral English亦一般. 但其實想講英文好, 唔單止指oral English.

我以前讀過幾年英中，英文都不見得好。一直到到去左美國先進步神促。但也眼見很有人留完學也不大分別，因為他們比較年紀大先去，玩的都係自己香港人。英小不一定學到好英文，如果學校既學生全部都係中文為主學校又唔谷。但如果ymca做得到裡面既學生都以英語交談為主的話，入去讀英文一定有所進步。

名校讓人趨之若騖就係佢戰績彪炳。
如果吾係新校，小朋友又要十項全能，又話要特異功能至考入呢！
TST YMCA kindergarten 都有一段歷史，喜歡佢就会喜歡 YMCA CS
簡單Ｄ講，英國模式和香港模式最大分別就係佢地冇書，又冇乜功課！
