Is Think primary school also a happy school? I found it has only 20 students graduated this year, quite a low number

JM_wyw

Yes! I think it's because there is no secondary school before, therefore, student will move when they find those have secondary school

大家好, 想借位問個問題.
我幫小朋友報左九龍塘think 的N 班, 想小朋友一直都在國際學校內讀書.
但N 班是否主要是用中文上堂? 學英文時間好少?
因為亦有打算會報考其他學校的K1, 如ESF, 怕到時英文唔夠好,
本來一直打算N班就讀THINK, 但突然有親戚說THINK 程度唔夠高,
又唔係真正的國際學校, 佢揀BOXHILL 都唔揀THINK.... 我又係新手令到我好驚
有無THINK 用家可以分享下? THINK 係好的國際學校嗎? 值得一直讀上去到小學?
我小朋友現在讀ANFIELD 的PLAYGROUP, 平時都係用英文溝通

relax, Anfield English level is good enough for K1 interview provided you speak English to your kid..... however, ESF K1 is hard to get a spot in general.

多謝你俾意見我, 但我係幫小朋友報左THINK 的N班, ANFIELD 只係PLAYGROUP.....如果ANFIELD 真係好過THINK, 我諗我唯有立即問ANFIELD 仲有無位 :(

JM_wyw

I do think there is no "good" or "bad" school, just have suitable or not for your kid

Pay visit to both campuses ( kindy + primary) . It's not difficult to make a decision then!

I mean visiting campuses of both schools

Hi my son is in Kln tong think K1, we are here since pn

This school has its teaching vision and stick to it. As all students there are Chinese (as I observe) they truly trust that students should have solid base on their own mother language before going on to a second language. That's the reason for their emphasis of can/pth in pn, and there was net in his class too. The sch didn't force kids to talk in eng but my son understood basic eng when he was in pn n he communicated w my Filipino helper well w simple words. We always use Cantonese in the home.

My son is in half day can/eng class this year. There are ard 15 students in his class w 1 Chinese n 1 net. I saw big difference this year that he uses sentence to talk to my helper n is able to express his feelings too.

Personally I like think very much it's a loving and caring school. My son loves everyone there (staff n classmates) and he is trained to be an independent kid.

This school is less "academic" compare to others in the district. They inspire students to learn rather than only teach them "hard knowledge". They applies IB teaching mode in the kinder. If u plans to send ur kids to local primary school u may need some more effort in academic training or simply take offer from a more academic school.

If u plan to let ur kid try another Int'l kinder in K1, think may not be the best school for u now. But it's still fine if he has English exposure in some other ways.

Hope it helps.

thanks for sharing, very informative. my son has received pn offer for the coming yr.
is your kid studying in intl stream or local stream in k1? i was told by the teacher there that students in intl stream can be escalated directly to its primary school after k2.

15 students per class - thats sounds good.
