Discovery Bay- DBIS

Loretta529

仔仔18個月，如果想入DBIS讀書，係咪讀2017／2018年呢？
佢地有無N CLASS？我去過WEBSITE睇，有EXTENDED NURSERY ＋RECEPTION其實係咪即係 K1 ＋K2?

有無媽媽K1＋K2 唔係DBIS讀但小學都入到DBIS呢？新手媽媽，又搬入去1年，咩都唔識，請大家多多指教。
THANKS

DBIS係可以一出世就報名的，所以盡快報名就好，如果排到，當然可以由nursery開始讀，如果排唔到，就等recepiton或P1插班。就算不是讀DBIS的幼稚園，也可以繼續照排小學，總之是要等到有位，才有機會入。我非DBIS家長，不過都排緊。

你好，請問DBIS幼稚園同小學報名係兩條隊嗎？因我已報幼稚園，如果入唔到幼稚園，我需要另外去小學報名嗎？

你地都住愉景灣? 我其實都報左DMK,因為好多人都話呢間唔錯。但讀完k2後就煩啦。我想問如果p.1先入去讀，要俾幾多development Ivey?你地會唔會報Discovery College?係咪好難入呢？

係呀，我都係住db，阿仔而家讀緊dmk playgroup.黎緊會喺dmk讀nursery.嗰度嘅老師係幾好，不過我聽朋友講dmk k1就冇咁好，因為係另一個校舍，老師完全唔同。所以我都報定dbis，至於DC嘅詳情我就唔係咁清楚。

DBIS的kindergarten及小學是不用分開報名的，報左就可以一直排到學校叫你去interview為止。我仔現在升K2，本來在港島讀國際學校，現在搬入愉景灣，所以要轉校，搭車出巿區太遠了。除了DMK，我仔都報左LIS，在南大嶼山，這學校可由K2(他們叫reception，入讀那學年需滿四歲)，一直讀到小六，聽舊生家長說學校很不錯，面試那天也覺得老師及學校氣氛都很好。有校車由愉景灣去學校，但車程要成40分鐘，大自然環境，不過沒甚麼設施，有點似自然學校，未必個個家長喜歡。

DBIS levy要成四十五萬，是否值得見仁見智，如果唔俾，預計由申請開始要等兩至三年。DC未來幾年將大增學費，聽講無以前咁難入，因為學費原因。如果year 7入，會容易過year1。 DMK現在也有小學，在北廣場。

多謝各位，DMK小學我未必會報，感覺太細，好唔正規。同埋我去睇過感覺似幼稚園一樣。希望DBIS／DC小一個時會有位。都仲有幾年時間＝）

muimuimao

是呀，有幾年時間，應該等到DBIS的了。

謝謝muimuimao的分享。而家明白喇，咁我會等DBIS回覆，k1可能讀住dmk先。

I think you can try DMK at Discovery Plaza or DMS at north plaza.
I personally not recommend about sunshine international school in DB. school size is small and it looks dirty to me.
But you should do a school visit yourself.

My son end up joined to DMK playgroup class. I didn't really attend with him (my helper accompany him, i am a full time working mother), according from my helper, the DMK school is pretty systematic and clean. My son is quite happy of joining a class there, even he actually having a hard time of being quiet and listen to the teacher =P

and DMK is not very pricey compare with DMS. my son is attending 3 days full english lesson and it is 3600 a month. It is pretty reasonable to me.

DMS is quite expensive, their school is also clean and systematic as well but they're using montessori system. I think it is really depends on what kind of personality of the children.  

I was struggling of going DMS or DMK before too and now i think traditional teaching method is not bad though.

DMS is quite pricey, application fee is 500 and 3 days playgroup class is around 5000/month.

and I know there's few more small playgroup at North Plaza. You can check it out.

Hope it helps you =)
