full day courses without taking a nap?

Ms Chan also told me the class size will be 28-30, so honestly I doubt about the "small class".

In respect of DGS or DBS, are the successful kids get in coz of lucky draw or "knocking process"? One thing i am more concerned is the reputation of Stafford (not to say it's not good), but just wonder the years of establishement as it's relatively new as compared to other kindie in KT. :)

btw, there is high chance i will give up Stafford AM offer coz just received offer from GH (hope no need to do the school hunting process again in P1 eventhough GH KG doesn't gurantee a P1 seat). If anyone wants to switch from PM to AM, pls submit letter to school!!!

Hope all mamas can find a suitable school for kids.

Hope

call the school today, Ms chan mentioned that the full day school fee (current is $5.8k) including all extra-curriculum class in the afternoon like cambridge. But there is additional $300 snack fee, $4xx lunch fee & $1.1k school bus fee. No afternoon nap time & kid shall finish homework before going home on Mon to Thur. <Quite attractive for working mum>

But I doubt they will still be in small scale class coz it ha 28 to 30 kids per class. (3 AM & 1PM).

Last yr, 1 boy goes to DBS & 1 goes to DGS. (out of 22 graduates)
Others go to famous english schools in general. I believe 22kids is really small scale but not 30 per class.

Btw, I heard they only have 5 classrooms in school, I am thinking if we do full time class, will the kid need to go York in the afternoon?

Now it is English vs $$$ competition.

Yes, for K2 & K3, it's about $5.8k full day monthly nowadays.
I called that yesterday and it seems that in most parts of the am session (talking of full day), the NET class teacher will involve. That's the reason i prefer Stafford.
Actually, they mentioned that the pm session includes kinds of interest class (i.e. music, gym., doing homework, or even cambridge's classes) .
And that 's the concern from my wife and I. If we 're not going to apply the full day class, we have to find interest classes outside and even go back to school on Sats to review for the cambridge's exam.

Currie cheung,

Thanks for sharing, pls help share more once you hear more from your friends. Btw, for famous english primary school, can you give me some names?

To share more, i called the school today & they mentioned they will have 4 K1 AM classes next yr.

K2 & K3 -- parents can choose half day or full day. If full day, it is $5.8k monthly nowadays. Not sure if we need to pay extra on all extra-curriculum.. if need to, it is very expensive.


thanks

Hi there,

I don't hear she told about the show&tell session wor..for English??! Let me ask her then.

For the school, she commented, teachers are nice, the helpers are nice, and the kids there have been taking good care.  Boz less kids are in the class.  For Chinese learning, she told me, her daughter now is in K2, have to write about 20 words a day.  For graduates, most of them can go to famous schools, especially to those english primary.
