Dear alunsweeny : )
We are targeting international school since my daughter's birth.
We pave the path for going back to US anytime, as well as we appreciate the education phillosophy of the non-local cirriculum.
It is the reason we all apply for pure English speaking schools since nursery.
Probably ESF primary would be one of the choices, meanwhile we aim at other ISs.
We are not greedy and should not be greedy - we do not teacher her any Chinese, although she is able to say very little verbally, like greetings. (This is for basic survival only in HK environment). Therefore, we treat Chinese as a foreign langauge (not even the 2nd) for the child just like French, German, Japanese and alike.
Pardon me saying this - I am not towards the approach that school is the only place for English. You can do alot, yes you can.
Please dont mind the accent but the courage of you & your husband talking to the child in English, using English as a major language.
I can tell you that the principal of KBCK (ms. Lola louie) can spot the child whether he/ she is the first language user or is the second language user or a bilingual user.
If you target learning English in this kind of school, probably they will not. They are English speaking, it is supposed all the participants understand the language. KBCK would not reject the child who knows English on basic level because they are church school and they treat everyone equal. To their eyes, Japanese, Korean, French and German children are not English native speakers.
They 'd rather the families would match the education direction so that the children could have smoother times.
I think you probably may talk about your education road with the principal when you are in the interview on 19th.
She probably may give you an insight.
Thank you for letting me say so much : )
Kind regards,
Maria
