KCS (local) vs St Stephen's (Stanley)

vchan1

Hi All,
I'm struggling to choose between the subject primary school for my kid.  Other than school fee is a big difference, could anyone shed some light on their pros and cons?  My feeling is KCS is quite focused on academic but lack of extra-curricular actitvities; whereas SSCPS is more life balanced and kids seem to be more cheerful...  With regards to Putonghua, I believe KCS should be better?  But how about English, would SSCPS be better?  Any other major differences between them?

Thanks a million!!

只能講蘇小所見所聞： 1）校舍舊，設施只是最基本。而校舍為本地小學、本地幼稚園部、幼兒園部及國際部P1以下班級共用，學生有時因天氣關係，不能有空間上體育課。2）中數常是同一位老師任教、教法傾向傳統。3）學術課程比較一般小學教較深，整體學術成績好。4）沒有吸引的課外活動、球類近乎零，要靠家長自行安排，亦不設家校共融活動。5）要求小孩嚴肅整齊，活躍的小孩會較難適應，文靜聽教的最無問題。

Of course St Stephen. KCS is very outdated, too traditional, only focus on academic, very few activities, big class.....

Thanks!
But how's their English proficiency?  As I do see they have some native English students, guess they still speak English in the school, don't they?  I'm a bit worried that they are too much focused in Putonghua...

蘇浙本地部除了英文科、全部用普通話授課的（中、數、常），並由同一老師任教。
相反蘇浙國際部就調轉，除了中文科用普通話教，全部用英文教。

小小愚見，作為一間適合小朋友的學校，除了學術、語境，其實身心都好重要，有家校合作亦有好處。但蘇小似乎就欠缺這些。畢竟讀書不只講小學這六年，保持學習動機及心態才最為重要。

我大囡讀St.Stephen's,仔讀蘇浙

讀SSC既大囡，功課少，轉數極快，好奇心強，見識廣，測考默都唔多，所以成日可去玩，溫書學校搞掂大部分，我溫少少就可收工，做project多，課外活動多元化，小朋友友比較活

讀蘇浙仔，功課唔多，90%時間學校完成功課，多默測考，short memory既仔要不停溫，所以星期六學野，星期日要溫書，初初辛苦d,但慢慢習慣左個模式都可以，因為學校課外活動係極傳統，所以小朋友比較純

我認為，冇一間學校fit晒所有性格既小朋友，只有家長就住自己小朋友既性格搵一間合適既學校，希望幫到你！

請問蘇浙小一用什麼出版社的中文書? 是深一年嗎？
