回覆 Mumuwong 的帖子
As Annie who has more experience here stated 小學部行IB或英制,對教學素質的影響不大 as well as more and more parents telling us that PYP does not hinder a child's academic progress in the long run, i think it is important to look at the long range results of each school. I believe you haven't mentioned which ESF school you child go into, as that may make a difference as well...
My interests in GSIS now is only a by-product of discussion on this forum. Yes GSIS was once our top choice before my son got into a through-train IS, but given my son was almost age 2 by the time i wanted to apply and realized the queue begin from birth, we didn't even register. After learning lately that they do not teach Chinese until P4, that threw me off GSIS primary even more (may still consider GSIS secondary if my son excels academically, but i cannot see that coming yet, fingers crossed).
Personally I prefer North American over UK curriculum since i was raised in Canada, but my husband prefer the more solid UK teaching instead. After going through Montessori we were both in love with it and considered the IMS offer (my son was also Montessori trained, since age 1). In the end however, our son won over. Given he is very active, we picked for him an active school, which happens to run the full IB program (and honestly my son's character may not fit GCSE either).
At the end of the day you need to pick a good, suitable school rather than which curriculum it runs. For the sake of argument, a good school that runs IB may be more solid than a lousy school that runs the UK curriculum, although we know both schools in questions are good schools. Between FIS & whichever ESF school your son got in, also look into:
1) Where would your children most likely head to for University? (UK, US/Can, Aus, HK?)
2) What fits your family? (sounds like you prefer UK curriculum, and would feel uncomfortable in IB. In that case don't go for IB if that means there'll be a struggle between you and the school / the child)
3) What fits your child? (what are they like and where do you feel they will thrive?)
