CAIS vs VSA

victoriarosary

I have to say it's rather easy to get a place in CAIS. I know a no. of children who are studying there.
Case 1: Failed in ESF schools, SIS, Candian International - got accepted in K3 last year.
Case 2: A Child who is not that smart - is now in P1
Case 3: Near all the parents from my kids' kindergarten last year were offered K3 places last year.

Of Course, it is a very caring school with great teachers. But if you are aiming the top-notch oversea universities. Think twice.

which kindergartend  yr kid's study?

Agree. The class teacher of my son last year at G3 was not CARING and extremely lazy.  If you only want to learn less than other schools, it is a perfect choice,  my son only learnt 20 vocabularies  in a month.  That it! Sometimes 10 only.  Think twice!

I had a difficult time to make up the decision last year when my son got the K3 offer.  Finally, we took it and I am now very pleased that I have made the right decision.  I think the teachers are all very caring, just to compare with those in his previous kindergarten which is a well-known one.  I can see him improve a lot in spoken English and his reading skills.  His vocabularies improve a lot and he enjoys reading very much.   

Before, when he was studying in his previous kindergarten, he did not like to go to school although he was academically very outstanding.  Now even I asked him to try other schools, he would tell me that he wants to stay in CAIS for many years.  I think we have to make our children enjoy school before they could learn and develop well.  

Although this is an IS, the students behave very well and I can see the teachers work hard in a positive and encouraging way to make the students discipline well.

So far I am very happy with this school and I could tell myself that I made the right decision to let my son stay there.

Very agree CAIS teachers are very caring, nice and professional ...

I cannot benchmark the academic level of CAIS ... but just base on my kid 's study material, the standard is quite high, because the vocabulary is difficult.

My boy is studying K1 now & I want to apply CAIS & RC for K3/ P1 when he is in K2. I understand the education system for both school is totally different. Therefore I want to know more info about the interview for the school.
