Hi crystalpui,
I also want to know why you choose QBS??  How about KCIS??

crystalpui

因為我覺得中學esf好點
以及我鍾意多外籍小朋友
如果2間都收, 我一定簡esf

I like KCIS!! 我唔係覺得QBS唔好, 只係聽過其他係QBS家長講以下意見, 不過可能只係小朋友本身問題, 未必所有QBS學生有以下問題.

1) QBS: 小朋友講英文無問題, 但睇英文story book時好多字唔識, 同埋唔係好鍾意睇書.
KCIS: 小朋友講英文無問題, 學校自小培養睇書的習慣.

2) QBS: 讀P.5要學返P.3的數, 因為大家一齊讀E.nopi, QBS的家長自己講的.

3)校舍一定QBS好!!

4)KCIS中文程度幾好!! QBS不太清楚

My son was lucky to be accepted in the Reception Class for the coming academic year. It is because almost all students KCIS Kindergarten Class (4 classes) will continue to stay with KCIS for 2011/2012 Reception Class. In the recent interview for Reception Class, there were 3X candidates. Originally, there are four spaces available. The school create eight more spaces due to very strong demand. I understand that about 50 candidates were interviewed for their P1, and KCIS accepted only 10 of them. Competition for spaces in KCIS has intensified

Definitely QBS  Other than good mandarin, academically KCIS is not strong. A lot of students would transfer to ESF and other IS during the primary years, but they have to wait for years because of the long wait list.

Do you know if the Reception class in KCIS needs to interview for promoting to Primary one?

Littleho

I guess students in Reception Class should automatically be promoted to P1. There are four classes of Reception Class and three classes of P1. But, some students in Reception Class will continue/go to study in the local/mainstream system (i.e. K3). Note that some of students in KCIS also study in KCS local stream. I think some students may go to other international schools. But, less so in this year. There was no interview for Reception Class last year. But, there is group interview, starting this year. I hope it helps.

I also want to know what are the ad/disad of KCIS & QBS. Thanks.

I will choose KCIS. From what I heard, KCIS's teachers are more caring and they would not throw all the problems to parents like ESF. Plus mandarin is so important when they step into the society, KCIS could provide a much stronger mandarin environment for them.

the only reason go for KCIS is no offer from QBS.

I heard that there was a case where a student from a very well-known international school with strong Chinese curriculum applied for an elite local school in Hong Kong (St...). The student was assessed by the elite local school. The school principal praised his strong English, but did not admit him due to his poor Chinese. That student then attended KCIS for a while and was subsequently accepted by that elite local school. It shows how strong/vigorous the Chinese program for KCIS.

Note that it may be an individual case.

I will not disclose the name of international school as it will create more quarrels in this forum, attracting negative comments from parents of this international school.

I also heard some good and bad comments on ESF and KCIS. I hope it helps some parents who are considering KCIS.

By the way, I did not get an offer from ESF, because I did not apply.

hi Jackeylwfd,

請問有冇近年South Island School & West Island School 既成積？謝謝！

有朋友指出 KCIS 學生的成積比較平均，ESF (South Island School & West Island School) 學生的成績則較參次 (有些很叻，但有些很差)。想請問你的意見，謝謝！

你講 KCS 定 KCIS，KCIS啲中文 curriculum跟其他 IS 根本就分別不大。KCIS 小學程度如何就不大清楚，因為從沒有公開參加英國本土每年之小學生評核試成績，但KCIS 之中學公開試成績跟 ESF 就差得遠，再加上 KCIS個學校環境... ...

有朋友的兒子讀某 ESF 小學
舊年朋友跟埋個仔跟學校去 central library  聽著名作家 Morris Gleiztman 的 talk
同場就係有 K 校同年紀學生

作者有講自己的童年，同小朋友傾下計，
佢有問小朋友一 D 問題，亦比小朋友問佢野
結果，基本上係 ESF 學生熱烈舉手發問，有 D 甚至搶住講野
作者一 D 都冇因為嘈吵而唔開心
反而覺得好開心咁多小朋友讀過佢 D 作品，又有咁多問題

K 校學生，包括我朋友見到的兩個外籍孩子，個個唔舉手唔出聲
到後來，先有兩三個舉下手答下問題

我唔信 K 校學生唔識聽，唔識講
我亦唔信 ESF 學生個個睇過呢個作者的書
我覺得，有時唔單單要識講
而係要敢講，肯講先得
