chris1874,
the 1st choice is 中英

Woodymom

longbb,
My son studies in am, not int'l class. Maybe you can ask other moms whose kids study in PM.

My son cannot speak fluent English but he does know many English words. I don't let him take other Eng classes outside as I am quite satisfied with his progress made in KM. BTW, all K3 students are required to study in int'l class. Do you know that?  
about school bus services, the sch bus company will contact you right before the beginning of the school year.

Woodymom,
請問你的意思是否K3全部會入國際班呢?

chris1874

woodymom

k3 國際班是否全部採用 english & mandarin?
完全無廣東話?  因為我見張 form 有中英選喎！
我打去問, 佢地話可以 k.1 pm, k2 & k3 轉返去 am 都得!

Woodymom

I got this message at the end of last school term. I don't know if there are any new arrangements now.

My son studies in KM N1 now, for my husband and I, we do not think it is "very good".  My elder daughter studies in KV, unlike some negative opinions from other parents, we think KV is in fact a quite good kindergarten, (though kind of traditional and not many activities, like picnics, visits, special parties etc, and they have only a birthday party in every 2 months).  Both of my son and daughter enjoy their school lives.

I think it is important to choose a kindergarten that suits the characters of your kids (of course your expectation as well).

Yes, my son is studying in KM.  He has good progress both in language and social development.  The teachers are wonderful.  Parent-teacher communication is very strong.  The teachers frequently call me for reporting my son's performance in school.   More importantly, my son enjoys school life very much and tells me what he learns from school everyday.  He always sings the songs which he has learnt from school.   Personally, I like the school very much.

However, the school is not famous enough than SC and KV.   This is the fact.   This is the point I only concern.

每個人都有不同expectation, 我估無一school 係perfect.

What are you talking about?  My son is in K3 of KM, NOT international class.

International class is a relatively new thing in KM, and as far as I know, all int'l classes are in the afternoon.

Woodymom

Rham,
I am afraid you have misunderstood my point here. Those K1 students entering K1 in KM in 06-07 will study in int'l class when they are in K3. This is a new policy made by KM. All K1 parents were told about this policy before the registration. When my son studies in K3, he has to go to school in the afternoon instead of morning.

Is your girl in K1?  My boy used to be in KV for K1 but I transferred him to KM for K2 & 3.  I find dramatic change in his use of languages.  He never spoke English with me when he studied in KV.  After 3 months in KM's int'l class, I can see his English & PTH progressing in a fast speed.  You don't even take your kid for outside phonics class because their phonics is so well-developed.  Academically, I find KM's K1 curriculum is competitive with KV's K1, but the approach used is more active in KM.

chrischeung,
曉衡真係返黎呀??call我呀

Dear HuiTung

Thank you for your information, my daughter studies in KV K2 now.  It is real that she seldom speaks in English to us and sometimes resist in so doing, though she knows a lot of English words (by our flash cards).

For my boy, he does not speak full sentence for the time being as he is in KM N1 (he is now 26 months old), I do not know his level of language yet.  Still need more observation.

Thanks anyway.
