各位媽咪：
先唔好插我，我有就以上哩幾間學校做左少少Research，不過依然係了解唔多，好想有心人或過來人可以分享下。
我仔讀開Anfield Kindy，識好少中文，個性平平不算好活躍亦不算好文靜，不過應該係喜歡老師pay more attention果種(即係唔好咁大班會好d)。我已幫佢報左Anfield Primary ，但想look around睇下有無更多小學的選擇。
揀左上面哩幾間係考慮左地點同學費以至debenture的因素。
能夠給點意見，哩幾間學校有乜野優點特質？
感激！真係唔好插我我路過的。

If I were you, I would first be concerned about the level of Chinese required for some of the schools.  For P1 admissions, I am sure CKY and ISF will test the kid on Chinese and minimal level of Chinese will not cut it.  Not sure if CIS admits much P1 students though pretty sure they require certain level of Chinese as well.  Not sure about the others.

I think let your son study in Anfield Primary is a good choice.

I saw "gwaichuchu" comment as below:

My boy is currently studying in their Pre-K class. My plan is also to send him into Anfield's Primary the next step.
However you won't be able to get any current student's comment here because they are opening in 2012, as far as I know. They have an open day next week that you can join. But I am confident that their Primary section will do well. A low profile org/institute yet high quality management/education, I believe.

Assume CIS had space which would you recommend - ISF or CIS?

Choice between better track record (CIS) or Chinese (ISF)

Sear Roger一定唔好去讀,係一定會後悔.
CKY要考中文卷,程序唔淺.

純粹分享：我也是仍在搜集資料階段。
CKY 是本地課程考IGCSE 和IB dip .
課程是配合考試制度。IB 的難度和好處，在BK forum 搜查也有一位某名校家長非常詳細說明如何由本地課程轉去迎合IB 的考試模式。

ICS 是行AP ，師生比例低，小班教學。
好處就個個都知，但也有缺點，小朋友與人相處的耐性，做show and tell 時也是接觸得比較少個案。即是來來去去也是那十個八個同學。分組工作接觸面也細咗。呢方面家長可以考慮一下。

致於中文程度：國際學校教英文是在教科學，數學也用英文，使用英文是沒有分科的，用所有科目去建立英語基礎。這是他們的教語文方式。如生硬地加入另一種語系如日文和中文，在這個基礎上係比較難。但如果學西班牙文，法文，因有英文back up 及西史的back up 也會容易學得比較好。

只是個人觀點分享

Appreciate the above parent’s sharing, which is very useful for my decision making. I will further explore based on the following assumption:
CIS – some basic Chinese required / Strong academic & track record
CKY – high Chinese standard / IGCSE for primary  
ICS – small class (good and bad)
CAIS
Sear Roger – somehow not recommended
ISF – very Chinese oriented
Anfield – not bad itself but lack of track record

Your list of schools have very little in common, range from very top IS to the other extreme, to fully Chinese student community.  Very difficult to compare.  Getting an offer from most of these schools is very difficult.
