msenglishteache

know of any international schools starting from kindergarten and has its own primary and secondary schools?
I looked into a few such as cdnis and cais but they don't accept small B's unless we start one year later...which is not what we want so we are looking for more suggestions of schools we could look into.

Thanks!

what do you or your child have to lose for going to school a few months later?

what do you or your child have to lose if you HAVE to go to school a few months earlier? A lot, eg loosing the opportunities of getting into good schools like CDNIS, and many others.

How small is your kid? I know ESF do accept small B. The other ones which started at kinder like ICS, ISF, GSIS, CIS etc they all prefer big B.

It's going to be more than a few months later as she's an Oct baby.Are u currently in cdnis? I'm quite interested in this school too and I know they only accept kids before the Aug 31 cutoff.

She's an Oct baby. I heard Chinese is not a main focus so kids don't really learn much Chinese? Is it true?

因為遲d想去外國讀書，個個都係same birth year, 唔想到時同朋友唔同年同埋我覺得啊b同大過d的小朋友學習能力沒太大分別，覺得做細b都應該handle 到

細B handle 到，大B只會更好。 Each class has kids bigger than norm and kids smaller than norm.  They are all within a few months, what does it matter?

Haha my original intention was to find out about more international schools with kindergartens, not to discuss whether my baby should be big or small b as that is not a big issue. Just want to expand my knowledge on which schools I can look into and possibly apply :)

我都好認同樓上好多人所講，有得做大B其實係好事，比我都唔會急著入學，因為好學校比幾時入學更重要。小朋友有自信學習會更得心應手。雖然去到6、7歲其實能力上大b與細b已沒有太大分別。
