I love the school, small school running IPC curriculum. The headmaster is a nice lady, the teachers are caring person, not expensive and probably the lowest rate when comparing other IS but it doesn't mean the quality is so so. Quite a lot of school activities liked fund raising, library visiting . etc

My son picked up pretty fast and he did not speak any English at all. Now he understands quite a lot, child is amazing.

To me, one disadvantage is the accent of the kindergarten, teachers came from Europe, like my kid's school teacher, she is from Austria, except some funny accent, she is excellent.

Thank you very much for your sharing,joenkm  

As you said, me too, I love it's small and not too expensive. Now you have solved my worry that the quality of the school is good too. How old is your son? Is he in AM/PM class?

Nice to meet you.

Dear 昊昊媽,

My son is going to be five and he left NIS to join his brother together in HLYIS. Quit NIS may be my wrongest decision in 2005.

what's wrong with HLYIS?  i heard that it's not bad ?!

Hi ahk019,

Both HLYIS and NIS are good schools to me, I didn't say it was not good. I am quite happy actually my children progress after they joined HLY in Jan this year.

Ah, now I realize you thought going to HLYIS were my bad decision. It is not.

I meant leaving NIS may be the worst decision that I made because the teacher, the principle, the secretary are all wonderful persons but I still decided to go, the curriculum hmmm I have no idea, but the son progress was really good.
