耀中 kingston 邊間好？

ccyung

耀中就一條龍，有哂幼稚園，小學，中學 ，同埋中學先買債卷

Kingston 1歲班要俾10萬發展費 no refund, 小學再俾十萬，中學要走入沙頭角。有冇家長中學去其他學校讀？

聽聞依家一定要1歲讀班開始讀，如果唔係就有排等，咁你地講得邊間好？

同埋係唔係兩間學校都係雙語？

我想講嘅係：教育係十幾二十年嘅事，唔使諗太遠，途中變數太多，你自己要求一路會變，冇必要一歲未夠就把所有路線定落黎。
路係自己行出黎。十年前我都唔知咩叫國際學校，今天就變左一個番過7，8個playgroup,4，5間幼稚園，2間小學，一間中學嘅家長。
今天你做完功課，覺得邊間適合咪去試下囉。

My son now in Kingston and YCIS playgroup , I think I will keep going those 2 school till K1, when we have to choose one of them, think I will go for YCIS. YCIS primary school is better than Kingston, and obviously my son is very happy in Kingston as well. And I still want him to be in Mandarin&English environment

My son stayed in Kingston for 2 months and YCIS less than 1 month, quite difficult to compare now, we would compare them after CNY and see which one we prefer

I think Kingston is way too commercial. As for YC, I was told that it takes in more students than they are allowed. Does any body know their class size, teacher to student ratio etc?

I went to the school for visit. They have 8-12 students in class with 2 teachers (one western and one eastern) plus one auntie. I don't think the ratio is bad at all. This is for year 2 classes. I believe more students in the am class vs pm. But seems 12 is max.

Compare with Kingston, YCIS kindergarten quite messy...the toilet isn't clean enough, classroom and toys not clean enough, compare with Kingston, and they speak Cantonese mostly in school. YCIS is definitely more commercial than Kingston. My son learns a lot in Kingston but nothing in YCIS...and u can see all helpers together with the kids in YCIS pg but half number of kids having class with their parent in Kingston pg. Very surprise that, in Kingston, every staffs, even the reception, they all remember each child's name within the first week of school! We can see they do pay lot of afford into the school and eduction. But anyway, YCIS is good in primary and secondary school

I'm not upset is that, in YCIS, I didn't see more professional behaviors from the Chinese teacher.. Exactly the same as auntie, and both of the just play with the kids, just free playing, nothing systemic. I think YCIS is more free for kids to play and know this world, that's good in terms of nature development. My boy has been stimulated in Kingston for personally development and got very good improvements, can see the big gap between him and the YCIS kids now

I was about to say "I'm a bit upset..." Typed wrongly

Totally agree in terms of pg so really depends what you are looking for. We also attends the pg in HLYIS which is also free play. I believe the western way of pg may be different than what some HK people would consider "good" or expect. But don't judge on pg experience alone. Most IS have a completely different program for kindy and primary.
