Hi GIGI,

Ryan is attending St. James kinder in WC which just next to Starters.

Quarry Bay School is our first priority IS. And ESF is the only one affordable school.

Ryan doesn't quit AM session l ...

hi Renee,

Does Ryan study in local Kinder when he is 2 yr old?
I want my baby can study in ESF primary school but seems that not all the students study in ESF kinder can have a seat on ESF primary.
So your arrangement are more safe for our kids
however my friend tell me that SJS is a bit small
does Ryan enjoy his both school life?
I afriad he will lost the time for afternoon sleep and he will tired on afternoon lessons
Am I right?

Sorry that my english isn't good and hope you can understand.

SJS你是指灣仔聖雅各OR Shatin Junior School 呀?

其實RYAN係1.5歲就入幼兒園, 因為灣仔聖雅各有全港好少學校開的1.5歲BB班, 只係收8個小朋友. 而家RYAN係第二年响聖雅各讀書, 讀幼兒班(N1).

其實我一直諗住3歲入S ...

謝謝
我是指聖雅各
我個PLAN係由BB 9個月到開始返英文PG
個TARGET係入英基
但自從西九龍件事我就開始驚....
怕個女返左英文KINDER又入唔返英基小學....到時真係唔知點算...
我都係ONLY AFFORD到英基既學費
其他既學校真係太貴了
你個SCHEDULE都幾好
等我俾我老公睇睇....謝謝你詳細既回覆

我相信你的擔心係每一位本地家庭但小朋友讀IS kinder的家長所擔心的事.

其實IS kinder只係讀兩年,即本地幼稚園的k1-k2. 萬一小朋友入唔到esf, 其實可以讀多一年is kinder 或報番本地幼稚園的k3, 慢慢適應本地課程. ...

咁你又講得真係好o岩
不過
我老公同事個女之前讀small world, 轉入英基小學都入到
佢地係家都係講廣東話的
不過以家好似多左好多人爭咁....

在我來講
我只係唔想我小朋友係傳統學校咁係咁填.....
我回想返自己讀書
真係幾辛苦....

我相信跟幾年開始, BB出生率上升, 加上教改. 不論國際學校，私校、直資一樣難入咗.

其實你都可以留意下D"真正"活動教學的小學, 當做兩手準備都好LA. 以我所知, 好多直資同私學都幾鍾意收國際幼稚園的小朋友.


...

其實你知唔知有邊間小學係呀
可唔可以講俾我知

My son studied in Starters for two years. He studied am English section and pm Putonghua section. So he attended whole day school in Starters. But I have to prepare lunch box for him as Starters don't provide lunch. From my experience and what my son told me, he enjoys the school life in Starters very much. This school also gave him a strong English language development. All teachers there are friendly. With the low school fee compared with other international kindergarten, it is worth to study there.

咁你住邊區呀?

如果真正活動教學的話:

1. 全港津小一定唔係;因為學校要保持學生考中學的競爭力, 可能初小都係活動教學, 但去到高小一定係傳統"谷"型. 派位越好的學校就越谷. 唔會有一間派位好但無讀書壓力的學校. ...

我住港島西區呀

My opinion is that Woodland is better than Tutortime.  But... it also depends on which Woodlands you are choosing. The Montessori method is very different from the traditional preschools.

My son is at Tutortime WOW in KT.  Many of his classmates are going to TT K1.  We opt out cuz we had other offers, including Woodlands Caine Rd.  But I didn't choose Woodlands at the end, not because it's not a good school, but because I prefer a school that has an elementary section.  Although no IS kindy is true through-train, but it's less hassles for us.

Hi lottieclee,

Do you mean Montessori Woodland is better than traditional Woodland?  Then how about Happy Valley Woodland

Could you pls share with me more about how better the Woddland is when compared with Tutortime?

Also, how will you rank the 3 schools, (1) Happy Valley Woodland (stepping stones), (2) Bramear Hill Tutortime (nursery), (3) Wembley school in Tai Koo Shing.

Thanks for your sharing.
