NAIS vs AISHK 人生交叉點，跪求意見

chunui

I would like to seek valuable advice from you. My son is currently studying in nursery class in Nord Anglia International School. We recently received an offer of Reception class from Australian International School and we are struggling whether we should take this offer.  We have the following concerns.

We do like NAIS as the curriculum is solid and the teacher and staff are very loving, caring and professional. They establish a very good communication with parents and we are well informed about the performances of our son. My son and we like this school very much. The only uncertainty is the location of the future secondary school campus. We are living in TKO. Lam Tin is good for us but not sure about future. In comparison, AISHK seems to be a better choice in terms of certainty of location.

We have the following questions:

1. We heard from here that AISHK is a bit relaxing in curriculum  and has much less homework than other IS. Can any AISHK parents comment about the teaching of this school?
2. Can any parents of NAIS comment on the teaching in secondary or primary school?

We truly appreciate about your useful help!!!

I can only comment on NAIS given my girl is studying there now.  From what I observed, teaching quality at NAIS primary is high, with a relatively rigorous and structured curriculum.  The workload for students is much higher than in the NAIS reception.  We have homework on phonics and a mini project every week.  My girl has learnt a lot at school and I am very pleased with the school.

My girl is in NAIS Year 1 too
I love this school very coz the teachers are loving & professional. And I agree that the curriculum is rather solid, comparing with that of my son, who is in an IB International School.
I think the more important point is whether u prefer Australian curriculum or UK curriculum

Australian school has a completely different school year (I guess you are already ok with that when you applied)

Yes I agree. The teachers and nurse in nursery are very caring and professional.Yes the uncertainty of secondary school campus is a downside for me.

May I ask if it’s very high chance to move out the secondary school to the other place in near future? Lam Tin campus will be for primary school only?

chunui

Currently primary school and secondary school are in Lam Tin campus but the school update mentioned that they are looking for another location for secondary school.

係咪大個打算去澳洲升學？ 有識人australian Chinese, 打算送個仔翻澳洲，所以報Australian

另外，都難計畫中學會係邊度讀，到時學位無P1咁緊張，想再轉另一個學校，另一學制，亦唔難
