Think International

I applied for Int'l stream but the supervisor advised me that it'd be more safe to go for local can/eng or pth/end stream as she saw lots of parent changed their mind even they looked so determined for Int'l stream in the first place.

One more point is that she saw those kids from local stream could still pick up eng well to cope with interviews in intl schools.

I took the advice and stay in local stream. Looking back I think I made a correct decision for my son as he's not giving up Chinese at his early age. Plus I can still go for some local IB school - i hunt made up my mind yet but my options are wider.

if i want to go straight to Think Primary in future, i must choose intl stream right?

SRmama

Not really. They assess the kid through interview.

SRmama

To my understanding, there's no way to go straight to primary without interview.

No, if you go their intl streAm(bunnies), you can got promotion to primary for sure. I checked this with both primary school and kindergarten.

In the interview the teacher told me that English may not be sufficient if my kid goes to local stream and should also attend full day class (international stream)

I just get the feeling that they want all students to join the full day programme.  Am plus pm session, unlike other full day programme in other school.  it is too much pressure to have a kid to attend two classes, just like some monster parents doing in local schools

Which kindergarten you asked ?  I asked ma on Shan branch in Feb, the teacher said interview and assessment is needed

aninie

no. The full day program is not just am and pm class. It includes nap time about 1.5hour. I think it is a good practice to train them more independent.

Ma on Shan branch said full day is am + pm.  They can nap and join the class after they wake up
