Stafford vs St Johannes?

SweetBaby2007

My daughter got the offer from 施德福英文幼稚園 and 聖若望英文書院.  


Stafford: Good english
SJ: have primary school


But SJ K2-3 full day class.  


Will you let your child study full day class?  No more time for extra-curricular activities...



I feel difficult to choose. Can you provide any advice?

Hi Sweetbaby, i've paid the registration fee for these 2 kgs as well.  Also have the same headache with u!  

My comments:
Stafford: Good english, small class, caring teachers
SJ: have primary school (but is it good?), good english(no cantonese during or after classes).  I also not quite like the full day class for K2 & 3.

Anyone else can give us more advise?

Hi Bellabella_oh,

Nice to meet you (share the same problem)!  In fact, Stafford doesn't have small class?!  2X students in one class ga.

Moreover, less people talk about these 2 KGs.  So information is quite limited.

Their explicit difference is full-day class in K2-3 at SJ.

Also, don't know how well is SJ primary.  Hope someone can help.

I think 2x students is acceptable.  Any idea about this re St Johannes?

How is the Chi level of Stafford?  Any PTH class?   I just know that Chi level of St Johannes is not high enough. Parents needs to pay lots of effort.   

St Johannes no guarantee of NET class teacher but Stafford do.

Is your son / girl admitted to AM or PM class?

If you concern the standard and language environment of  English only, Stafford is a good choice.  The NET are very good especially Mr Nick, he's really impressing.  There are many other aspects to consider, think before you make your final decision.

Hi Helen,

You have kids studying in Stafford?  Can you advise the Chi and PTH standard of this KG?  Is the curriculum of this KG difficult or not as compared with other KG?  I know that the curriculum of St. Johannes is quite difficult, only Chi level is not high enough.

大家好!我都同你地一樣!頭痛緊簡哪一間,我自己可能簡stafford,原因只是不想bb返全日班,我自己係sjc廿幾年前既畢業生,我只可以以廿幾年前既程況來說,英文程度真係較深,因我地係要讀高一年級既課程，當時中文程度不是太差,我升上中學都有老師認為我的中文不錯的。當然這是廿絃年前既事,所以我的意見可能不及時而，希望給你們一個參考而已。
