Sorry for interruption.  

Wisekid2007,
Do you mind to tell which int'l school you selected for your kid?  I share the same view with you. Thanks.

Yes, I think so.

Many newly established DDS or private schools have a very good philosophy in education but they can hardly implement it satisfactory because of part of or a mixture of the following ...

Good for you.  But not everyone has $250,000 for debenture and $10,000 for monthly school fee.  And just the application is already $1200.  Think it is unfair to compare 2 totally different classes here.

My boy is now studying at German Swiss International School (GSIS).

Moreover, majority of the international schools in HK are very good in delivering a read education.

對於大部份的香港人來說，讀國際學校最大的問題就是放棄了中文。雖然某些國際學校的中文比率已有所上調，但本地教育已投放如此多的資源在教授中文上，但都評為中文水準每況愈下，何況是國際學校。除了收費外，這也是一個門檻。

We are talking about what is a good and quality education here that local schools may take references for improvement.

Of course, we have to face the reality that not everyone can afford the fee of  ...

If kids can get into SPCC or DGS & can keep up, why would their parents want to send them to international school?
Most parents from these elite schools would consider sending their kids to boarding school abroad at secondary school level (by which time their Chinese would be considered at least adequate) rather than to an international school!
Don't get me wrong, GSIS is indeed one of the top international schools in Hong Kong, but not everyone buys the concept of international schools.
Given the choice of SPCC or DGS, most would not even give IS a second thought.
Just as you believe in IS education, plenty more believe in these elite schools education.

完全同意!

GSIS我從來都無考慮過!
反而CIS, ISF呢類係我地的首選之一...
假若咁好彩DGJS收我個女的話, 我亦會比佢入讀..

其實無話邊間學校最好, 睇邊間適合自己的小朋友, 同埋家長的教育理念吧~
無謂嘈啦, 道不同不相為謀~  既然無興趣某D學校, 不如留番D時間精神去有興趣果D討論囉~

我特別重視小朋友的"中文"/普通話學習, 呢個亦係我唔會考慮一般IS的原因之一...
中文程度要求幾高?  每個人的要求唔同吧! 但我絕對相信一般IS的中文只係"有限公司"...

況且我地可能只在香港幾年, 更加希望個女在中文和學術方面有更鞏固的基礎.

No, it depends on your expectation of the standard of Chinese to be achieved.

In fact, the Chinese standard of many IS students are quite good and up to acceptable working level (except for being a C ...

另外一提...
囡囡面試DGJS的情況又OK喎..
交form時果位女士都好有禮貌, 亦有笑容, 又再三提點我要check清楚地址, 以免寄唔到etc

至於面試時間, 由個女入去開始計, 大約15分鐘.
問左個女一般個人問題, 同埋比左一幅圖叫佢形容番, 再根據圖畫再問問題....etc
面試完畢, 校長拖住2個小妹妹出黎, 好好笑容, 仲同我地揮手say goodbye.

我地無任何關係, 既唔係校友, 甚至無宗教信仰添.  所以我對入學都係抱平常心, 無太大期望.

呢個係我在呢個topic的最後一個post, 唔想徙時間為左唔同的教育理念而爭辯..

其實我一直都有睇呢個topic, 到依家先忍唔住要post..
感覺最好笑係某D人盲目地認為自己選的係最好的! 又花好多時間去批評人地選的係點樣點樣唔好....
無野講, 好笑囉... HAHA~

Except for 中文, 學術方面 DGJS would not be better than those elite international schools.

Have you ever considered the fact that not many international school students can switch over because they won't be able to get in or indeed keep up purely because of the Chinese language factor?
I confess to being ignorant as I really haven't heard of many SPCC or DGS students switching to international schools, at least not the top students who can keep up.
But plenty of them do switch to boarding schools abroad & most of them don't have a problem with the switch.
That seems to suggest that their English, though probably not as good as an IS student, are not at all inadequate.
Put it this way, their English level is a lot higher than the Chinese (or German / French) level of an IS student (comparing each other's second language so to speak)!
Sure there are a lot of deficiency in the elite school system but IS isn't perfect either. In fact, there is no perfect system because different people have different needs.
I respect your strong feelings for IS but at the same time I do feel that you should show respect for the elite schools as well.
