Ics - Reception 1 得一班am, 一班pm, Reception 2 都係。year 1 都唔多班。Interview要求高，要識認字，畫圖之後解圖，native 既都考唔到，好睇academic.

R1 n R2 一班大約20人？！
我係度計緊pre grade 1可以收幾多外來生？！
不過上次我聽說學校預計今年有大約300個applications for pre grad 1, 而pre grade 1有72個位，競爭好似冇ISF 咁多。
ISF is IB school while Ics is AP. Any concern about this in terms of academic perfoance?!

上年去聽ics talk 係R1同R2 各上午有兩班，下午有兩班。即每grade 有四班

Sound no hope for outsiders

不是沒希望的, 我兒子是八月出生細仔, 舊年八月剛滿五歲, 入讀 ICS Pre-Grade 1, 他幼稚園 K1-K2 也是在 ESF 的, 現在 ICS 讀得好開心!

可否分享多些為何你選ics而不升讀esf? Pre-grade 1 有功課/test嗎？本地跟外國學生的比例大概怎樣呢？謝謝！

Galileokcm,咁你知唔知pre grade 1有幾多個位係外來的？my daughter passed the interview but I need to wait if any seat for her. We dun have any sibling or other priority to ICS, I even dunno if a lot of applicants passed the interview?! Or just a few?!
可否講多D呢間學校D野給我們聽？！老師好嗎？功課多嗎？

How is the Chinese curriculum of ICS comparing to CAIS which has upgraded a lot recently?

vivian-chy: 我們是基督教家庭, 只報了ICS & CAIS, 感恩兩間學校也收了兒子, 兩間也是好學校, 最後我們選了ICS.
Pre-grade 1 回家很少功課, 多數課堂上做, 評估週也是課堂上做.
一班18人, 一級4班, 班中有兩至三名外籍學生, 學生課堂內外也全英語溝通.

According to the vice principal of KG, about 90% of R2 students go on to P1, i.e. about 8. Together with the 4 additional spaces in P1, it'll be about 12 external applicants joining P1, including siblings.

Sorry, I mean 8 R2 students not going to P1.

fatcni: We don't have any sibling or other priority to ICS also, 聽聞上年很多人申請, 外來只收了16人, 平均每班收了外來4人, 其餘學額也是 ICS 幼稚園升上來的.
聽聞 interview failed 也多, waiting list 也長.
少功課, 老師全是基督徒, 非常有愛心, 真心有耐性教好小朋友, 班主任更常自掏腰包請小朋友食水果, 同學間相處融洽, 兒子讀得很開心!
我和 hubby 較看重兒子品德, 因怕teenager容易學壞, ICS 學生德行好,比較乖和純, 此校看重學生 discipline.

4 classes in R2, 18 students each, i.e. 72.P1 76 spaces.

Ocean419: ICS & CAIS 也收了我兒子, 最後我揀了ICS, 未曾入讀CAIS, 所以不知道, 但我知這兩間學校近年看重普通話, 兒子正在學習普通話併音, 也有些併音功課.
ICS用簡體, CAIS可選繁體.
