06年入讀金巴倫 (St. Nicholas) 幼稚園K1的入來傾傾

Hi moms,

I choose this school because 2/3 of the school time uses English as teaching language; and the school fee compared to other schools is cheap.

How about others?

Cheers,
Birdmom

我都交咗留位費,但又等緊培正及禮賢結果,如果衰咗都會讀SN,這兩間英文冇SN咁好,但起碼到小學都唔駛再煩,都唔知點揀

我囝囝考入sn 上午班, 但我仍然心大心細, 因為聽講sn英文教得好, 但有些憂慮是學校廁所小, 老師好像好cool, 而且interview 當天沒有見到一位外籍老師, 所以請你給一些意見.

haha, I got you here, Safarimama,
have yet made up your mind?

safarimama,

see you here. It accepted my son but i won't choose it. I asked before, the English class is 30 mins, there are 2 native English speakers shared among the classes.
Though it claims English kindergarten, the local teachers communicate the kids in mainly Chinese.

monmantong,

Monmantong,

My son also accepted by Keen Mind but I finally gave that up.

As I know 1/3 time of Keen Mind uses English as teaching language, and its tuition fee is $3,200; I think that is too expensive.   SN also needs $2,050 (around).    I prefer to use the extra money for my kid's extracurricula.    Also SN told me that they would have 速算班 on K2 and K3 as extracurricula.
This is also one of the reasons I choose this school.

However, I also want to know why you choose KM.   I also paid the partial tuition fee on KM.

Thanks & Cheers,
Birdmom

birdmom ,

see my sharing before about why i chose KM.

actually i have been searching kindergarten info since my son was 7 months, i have sent a lot of messages here & got a lot of comments about different schools, and seeked a lot of advices from others about kindergartens, as i need to find the most suitable for my son. So different mom has her own expectation, requirements/

Regarding the school fee between SN and KM, SN is not so cheap if you add the misc cost, average cost per month is around $ 3,000.00 because it has :

snack fee -- $ 280 PER MONTH X11 ( very expensive, i know it is optional , but.. .)

book fee - around $ 2000 per year
uniform - around $ 1000 per year

& during my sharing with SN moms, i know SN has a lot of misc costs which you need to pay every month for the 1st year; I think it may be cheaper than other KLn schools. But personally i hate being charged a lot of other unexpected costs  ; For Km, i know it does not have any misc cost, only around $ 660 book fee for each term.. It is quite reasonable.

Also, my son will study international class, which is bilingual class, the native English speaker will be in the classroom for 3 hours, so i think it is not quite expensive comparing with other bilingual school.


anyway, SN is a good kindergarten too as it has been my target school before.

Hi mommantong,

I am glad to hear your comment.    I still have 2 more schools to go.

One is "York" and the other is "Alliance".

Have you ever considered the captioned 2 schools?   Glad to hear from your comments on them.

cheers,
birdmom

monmantong

birdmom,

I didn't consider "york" so i have no more details of it. I don't want to comment.

Re ALliance - the alliance primary only acceped 30% of the alliance primary schools, means top 10% of each class of the primary school, also someone said the curriculum of alliance kindergarten is a bit easy and it is using traditional teaching method.  So i finally didn't apply as at that moment i know my son was accepted by Kenville. If Kenville vs Alliance, i will pick Kv.
