傳統名校vs國際學校

aspirant99

現在小女即將入讀K1，面臨一間傳統名校和一間很好的國際學校兩個offer，兩件學校都基本是一條龍到中學。很難抉擇。想聽聽大家的意見。
有朋友建議先讀傳統名校，因為如果不喜歡將來也可以較易轉到國際學校。不知道是否可行？

傳統名校重可以由幼稚園一條龍？應該無左呢回事了。

由傳統轉國際，當然相對易，但我也有見讀名校的，甚至國際學校學生，考較好的國際學校英文肥佬。所以唔係必然。要考慮的是，你想孩子接受那樣的教育？

If you could support and maintain good level of English with your child at home, or if you may be living in a neighborhood with lots of international families and your child would play with English speaking kids in the playground very often, I would go for the traditional school in kindergarten. At least it opens up more options for your child later on.

Well also consider what is that "good international school" you are referring to. If you think you are sure for its primary school then why hesitate?

Good luck 😊

傳統名校也有全龍的，如培正。這間傳統校近90%幼稚園畢業可升小學，所以我說基本一條龍。
選擇什麼樣的道路？是個好問題。但為人父母，畢竟都是邊學邊選擇，事後看起來很自然的選擇，當時決策時往往就是千難萬難。
相信論壇裡也有不少面臨過類似選擇，或者選了其中一條道路，過了幾年又改弦易轍的。希望能夠不吝分享。
感謝！

Thanks for sharing, very good point.
Well, we are sure her PTH can be kept at a high standard but not very sure about her English.

多看傳統名校的教育方式，和傳統名校學生家長傾談，再上Ek看看，感受教育的重點，DSE的優劣。國際學校做同一樣東西。對兩種學制有相當認識後，你作為家長希望你的寶貝接受那種教育模式呢？看看兩種學制下學生的學識才幹性格有何差別？只有你自己答到。

Depends on which international school as well.

Just my thoughts. 😊
While I am more keen for international schools. My own experience is that many local kindergartens are doing a fantastic job in training the fundamental. Although parents may be overwhelmed by the homework load as the child moves to later part of K2 and K3, there are still lots of plays and explorations in most well known traditional kindergartens.

Most importantly you have the choice to go either path but unlikely the vice versus.

Only thing is really how do you help with the English proficiency 😊

We have exactly the same concern as yours for our kid, for P1. We finally choose local as we do want him to acquire solid foundation of Chinese before going into international. If language is not your key concern, u have to consider what kind (character) of a kid you wanna rear.

Of course, your kid's personality is also a key concern, my son is a person who's very observant & attentive in class, he even enjoys n always take initiative to do exercise books. That's why we dare to let him try local. As long as we dun push him on academic achievements, he should enjoy the pleasure in local Sch too.

my son is in famous traditional school..but our educational philosophy is too diff that we will change him to international school this year.

personally i think the competition to get into international school is also fierce..it is not like "you can do change anytime"...we are lucky that we got an offer.

i think you should consider your teaching style or your kid's learning style..otherwise, it is painful for not only the kid but also the parents.

非常同意！剛剛FB睇到一篇文章叫父母唔好一早送仔女去國際學校，要三思...😰 一些沒有子女讀IS經驗的父母，同埋一啲所謂升學專家就成日覺得要係local打好中文基礎，永遠都唔會提及西方教育的環境可以培養小朋友求學求知嗰份學習熱情的基礎，其實講咗9000次今時今日讀國際學校並唔係為咗學英文亦都唔係放棄中文唔學！有時唔怪得張堅庭同李純恩成日咁explicit 在專欄幫國際學校家長平反！

對於小朋友教學方式的選擇我們遵循一種原則：follow the child。如果小朋友獨立能力很強，主動學習且不被周圍環境影響，專注力高，自己吃飯穿衣，這樣的孩子是適合被教的教訓模式，也就是我們說的本地學校。如果小朋友活潑好動，獨立能力較低（要大人指揮才去做事）這樣的小朋友是適合國際學校的模式，讓他自己去探索發現興趣。遵循孩子的需求才是最適合他們的

你實在説得太好了，有時見到D家長話小朋友可坐定定，先試傳統唔得再轉國際，坐定定幾時開始同傳統教育制度掛鈎，傳統和國際學制分別在於方法和模式，國際學校亦有坐定定和較安靜學生。今時今日國際學校的中文程度跟十年前亦不同，家長真要每間問清楚。

你好似撹錯咗，國際學校正正要培養學生主動獨立和自學能力

好視乎小朋友的性情，和家長想小朋友過怎樣的學習生活。想讀IS，係全面反對傳統教學的模式，定係想少d功課、少d壓力和好些英文語境？
讀傳統名校，英文最叻的學生，有些係好高水平，但我認識的，都是家中有英文類近native的父或母幫，吾係得力學校。

我沒說錯啊，你仔細看一下就明白了，我是說對於活潑好動，獨立能力沒那麼強的要送去國際學校，那是因為國際學校能更好的培養他們的獨立能力，給他們提供一個好的環境讓孩子發掘興趣和能力。對於能很安靜主動，性格和定的孩子是適合被教的教育方式（本地教學）

你好似攪錯咗。國際學校需要小朋友獨立能力強，主動學習 （因學校唔會指揮佢地去做事）。比咗份project,  小朋友要自己主動上網揾資料，老師係唔會指揮小朋友點做。

我只知錯过左幼稚園呢个机会入is, 之後要插番入去極之困难……
