加大拿中學

我仔成績不理想～
擔心他留在香港都未必畢到業
想轉換環境～
可能找加拿大NB省好嗎？
有無同路人可以傾下？

Why would you consider Canada ?  Any particular reasons?

Do you know why he's not doing well academically at school?

因為有家人和朋友都多在加拿大讀書～
價錢亦比英國平～
由於小兒成績不大理想～
所以在加拿大讀書亦相對沒有太大壓力～

我仔G7 下學期過左多倫多讀
依家G11
每年有約半年陪佢
我覺得G7-G9 都仲可以叫冇乜壓力
自從去年G10
睇過熱門大學、熱門科目d 收生標準
我覺得入大學一d 都唔易

路過！溫馨提示加拿大有大麻party。不如考慮本地國際課程（igce,gce).是否適合小朋友再去未遲，如港青基信書院中－至中四每年學費不用４萬，到中五至中六可選gce每年學費不用６萬

可能自己住香港，不覺Ｄ食恐佈 也溫馨提示外國Ｄ食更恐佈，不平 另加國飲中茶文化好，有港式味道，中歺也好＇好懷念當地乾炒牛河，果次叫咗二碟，夠火氣 ，題外話朋友孩子讀加國公立，每次呻在學校打架（估欺凌）

都知道去到靠自己～
現有BC & NB
不過為了遠離大城市應該多數是去NB了
BC因爲是大城市
我想問下有無都係成續差些， 但去到加拿大讀， 有無家長可以傾下～

Well, I have more than 20 friends' children studying in Canada's public schools, never heard from them their children being bullied causing injuries.  Well, bully is everywhere, include HK.  

BTW, according to a statistics done previous year (although not sure of its credibility), HK had the highest rates of bullying.  

Even for elite schools in UK, there are.  UK has a high sense of social class.

Yes there were.  My friend of my friend, his child didn't do well in HK, always ranked at the bottom, she hated the school system.  Then went on to high school in Canada, got good marks, entered U of T Engineering. Finally got a job in engineering field.

Engineer faculty is a v good option for those who seek for co-op program to earn work experience, leading to more jobs opportunities in Canada in the future.  .

What grade is your son now?

You're quite right at saying, stay away from metropolitan areas, such as Vancouver and Toronto.  Schools there are highly saturated with Asians, particularly Mainland China and India.

you're not Canadian?  If you son isn't doing well at school, say for example due to his English, or lack of motivation caused by the system, you probably want to find a school that's more of a local culture, i.e. native Canadian, so that he can tap on the benefit of having the environment to greatly improve his English.  In general, the learning culture in Canada is encouraging, the choice of subjects is very broad in public schools (even more than those private schools can offer), also more freedom is given to children.  The latter would mean that a teenager can fly high but can also become not as diligent as you wish, children are held accountable for their own autonomy.  


You said that you are thinking of NB, because you have relatives there to look after him.  Is he going to live with them?  Or you would choose to have him stay with host family? The latter would be a great opportunity for him to immerse into the culture and learn native English.

You may also want to look into the education system of Canada.

Canada had been named "education superpower" by some education correspondent in UK.  It came 6th in overall ranking in Pisa 2016, the 3 high school subjects measured and ranked all came within 10.  Its ranking was the highest among the well known developed countries of similar systems, e.g. UK, US, Australia.

https://www.bbc.com/news/business-40708421

For Ontario and BC, there are rankings published regularly by Simon Fraser Institute.  I've never come across with similar ranking for other provinces.  Go search for it if you want to have ideas about choices of school.  But I can tell you, the public school system in Canada is rather impartial, as long as a student gets a good score, it's pretty much the same regardless of where he studies.  Education system of Canada is highly non selective, unlike UK and Australia.

Good luck.  Your son is not far way from the greener pastures, because he has you to plan for alternative.  Go for a system that's suitable for him, then he can do well.

謝謝你的資訊和鼓勵～
如果明年2月去就17歲了～
我大多數都會選NB, 也有2間學校可能收
BC他學校個省好似比較有錢些～ (emoji)(emoji)同埋一班有25人
本來仔仔都想去BC， 但我話去一個地方遠些， 人也單純些， 一班同學小人些～ 對你都好～
他應該明白我講， 所以他同意去NB了☺️☺️
NB 有1間公立， 1間私校
公立唔知一班對幾多人
但私校就1班對10人～

如果你個仔咁大個, 就要留意下入大學嘅要求. 每一個省嘅畢業要求都唔同 ,而大部分加拿大學校, 喺你個仔情況,都需要佢考英文試.

同埋要留意定 佢心水嘅大學, 如果唔係同一個省, 入 學 嘅要求係點樣

我表弟上年grade 11來。佢响HK成績麻麻。亦唔係讀d叻嘅學校。Band 3咁啦。平均五十分。但來到換佐個安靜環境成績唔錯。依家報U啦。我依區冇大麻賣因多華人。我表弟在Richmond 的中中ranking 麻麻。佢過到來知mami供佢辛苦，依家成績AB. 所以讀書環境好重要
