以我理解係多交一期學費，收多一個月錢！
我收左Int'l am K1, 諗緊take唔take offer.

From my understanding, the annual tuition fee has not changed much compared to last year but the number of installment has increased from 10 to 11. You can say that the monthly fee is less though the total amount has not changed (or increased a little).

無乜除左書補費年頭畀好似2仟幾其他無再額外收錢

當然有活動例如聖誕節去迪士尼要自己出錢：）自己有pass 所以無問題

家長係自由參加唔會迫

我個仔比較內向，坐定定果類，請問適合嗎？

我個女都是...好內唔多同人打招乎
返左pods 見到人都會講早晨或good morning

我覺得學校做得好，每日有早會（全部一齊係大堂）唱歌同打招乎我個女識同我講2017年12月12日 第一次聽好驚喜

如果比較靜老師會鼓勵小朋友自主d但唔會逼，因為我個女收軟唔收硬

PODS 在我個女PN派個份learning portfolio, 仍然是目前收過最有heart 最詳盡的一份 (she's in Year 1 already)，睇完係令我為佢嘅 learning 而感動。

Thanks.

想問學校release的P1 placement係咪所有學生都list out? 定係有考得唔好的無寫出來？

I also had KCIS PM offer but didnt accept it.

I am now considering between RHS K1 (as my little one is currently at RHS PN) and PODS K1.
By the way, i have got PODS International Stream K1 AM offer.

Can you tell why didnt you accept kcis?  I accepted but still considering other offers as still struggling on local vs IS...
I also received pods offer but only PM

It's a complicated case indeed but in short:
1) my spouse wasn't ready to allow my little one to go for the IS route (we had debates on this);
2) it's a PM offer as we prefer AM
3) they release the letter very early but only gave me few days to decide whether to accept it or not by paying the 12000 deposit. We thought about making a rush decision might not be wise.

KCIS is a good school, but I eventually decided to give a pass. I chose PODS because it gives me the flexibility to decide whether to go local government school/ DSS or IS later.

Thanks for sharing! Do u have pods am offer at HH campus?  I double check that my offer is am instead of pm international stream at HH.
My girl has been to pods playgroup at HH and like the teachers and campus, but still struggle which one is the best to my girl, as kcis has primary as back up and her current school at rightmind is not bad (has similar language and academic level as pods international stream) but much closer to my home.

Struggling on below international offers:
1. Pods am at HH
2. Kcis pm at North Point
3. Rightmind am at South Horizon

Our offer is HH international AM too, but thinking to switch to local stream as we aim for DSS/ local private school first at this stage. But meanwhile, given the spaces are full, we will stay with international AM until seats are available, so i guess our LO could potentially be classmates :)

Regarding your international offers, it's hard for me to comment but you may want to think about:
1) location as you have mentioned
2) if you want your kid to go for IS, local DSS, government school (if you take KCIS now it'd be a one way ticket)
3) Tuition Fee
4) If you have particular preference on small class setup (PODS are small class settings, not sure about Rightmind though)


I think Pods and Rightmind are quite similar in terms of their style, decent language environment that allows kids to expose to good English (and PTH if choosing International stream). Both schools have graduates progressing towards local and international schools. If you are pretty sure that your LO will go for IS in future, then why not choose KCIS first. My two cents.

By the way, we have a PODS PN/K whatsapp group for ones with offers, you may PM me your contact details if you wish to join the group. Cheers.
