My son got offers of Anfield PM class, PIPS PM class and Greenfield AM class. Can any parents share experience of these three schools?
We would like to target International school in the future and want to choose a school that more caring and respect child's personality. Thanks!!!

Thanks sooooo much for your reply! How is the mandarin percentage ? Our concern is it may just focus on English learning.

We love the mandarin teachers too.  They are very friendly.  We have mandarin lessons on Google Meet every Tue and Thu.

Depends on the educational stream you are looking for in long run. PIPS for international and local would definitely go for Greenfield as they are great in equipping kids for kindergarten

睇你是否看重廣東話、我朋友小朋友讀anfield , 英文好好、但廣東話大落後所以k2 轉番出去讀

另外greenfield 係邊間？ 都好睇地點。我小朋友都係greenfield group ( LP) 課程ok , 但行政有點亂

Thanks! So that means they will have two days mandarin class per week right?

We would like to target international. But did not see many reviews or shares about PIPS, so not sure if the environment of PIPS is good for kids. Could you please share more? Thanks!!

my kid didn't take PIPS offer at the end since we have opted for local stream.
but from the graduate statistics, majority of their graduates go to international schools

whereas Greenfield kindergarten graduates are more of a mix between local and int'l primary schools

My little one has studied at GF Long beach at the end indeed. I would recommend GF, as the teachers are very nice and experienced. And the school has high level of transparency in communicating with parents.

Thanks a lot for your reply! How would school communicate with parents? Cuz I am a working mom, and I am afraid not have enough time to send my son to school and communicate with teachers fact to face.
And I also saw some review about GF said that English teacher would only play YouTube video at class? Is that true? How is the kids English level? Thanks!!!

for greenfield - they circulate all their school notices via the phone apps - so you won't miss anything. they immediately inform parents via the app whenever there is any kids at GF having any reported contagious disease case (e.g. hand-foot-mouth disease, etc). There are also a few parents' days, which parents can sit in and see how the class sessions are.
I'm also a working mom, so it's great to see the photos of their parties from their school intranet. The class teachers provide comments of the kids' progress in the school diary on weekly basis. And they give us a CD with the kids' photos (taken during class and activities) at the end of the school year which is great.

Only during this home learning period.  They had 30 min mandarin every day during normal school period

My child goes to PIPS Kowloon now and really loves it. I think when you're making a decision, you need to think about what kind of primary schools you want your child to go to. PIPS is an IB PYP school so it would be a great choice for parents opting for IB primary schools or ESF etc. However, if you are aiming for DSS or local schools for primary then their Chinese curriculum may not be as advanced as Greenfield.

Thanks for sharing! We prefer IB primary school. Your child is AM class or PM class? Our offer is PM class and I am a little bit worried that he could not fit that schedule cuz he usually has a nap at noon.
