As above.
Or put it this way - are there certain types of kids who won't fit into SIS?
thanks

I have several friends with kids in SIS. One of my friend is Singaporean but she's quite westernized herself, and finds her son ill suited in SIS. She is considering switching him to another school, if that is still possible. Another friend of mine is a traditional, compliant Chinese mom (but not a tiger mom) whose husband is Singaporean, and both her kids are in SIS and doing quit well. I think it is definitely not suitable for kids and parents who prefer a more exploratory type of education, but for those looking for a good traditional type foundation, it is a pretty good choice and not as crazy as local schools or some private independent schools.

Jolalee 都講得好啱. 如果, 你唸嘅國際學校, 係活動教學, 學生老師有好多互動, 探索, 做Project, 學生活潑開心, 不是死記, 不操測驗考試, 咁SIS 就唔適合你.
簡單D咁講, SIS 只係一間新加坡模式的學校, 同香港本土名校差不多, 離不開華人社會Tiger Mom式的催谷。

我分享三條link
包括新加坡當地小六數學卷, download 網站, 以及 中文 小一
都出得好深
新加坡國際學校不少書 是用新加坡 當地的書
所以好深
新加坡當地小學小六個份卷 , kgv year 9 都好多學生做不到新加坡year 7,8 的數學
學校好處是
不多人拍拖 ,紀律好
入到,我都建議讀到year 13
學生寫及講的英文很有水準
學術上的 中文, 英文 , 數學都處理好好
第4條link, 是year 11 成績, 很標青

我朋友仔女讀緊,大讚,學生樸實純品,中數比其他IS強,英文亦好。
但代價是都要落力讀的,數學可能比local學校更深,他孩子讀到初中有時做功課都做到半夜。但他認為仍然比local學校輕鬆及有啟發性。

Agree entirely. Strong foundation in languages and maths is not built on vaccum. Necessary drillings & practices are the way. The most cherishable aspect of the school, in my view, is its strong bilangual environment, making everyone feel comfortable to speak both English & Madarin in the school.

Here is my ownexperience on SIS.
SIS isfound combining all advantages from local school and international school fromparent point of view. First of all, kids are happy with certain level of freedom,being creative and high interaction with teachers & school friends during& after the class. They have a lot of activities during & after school.They are given a lot of chance of playing & learn in a lively way fromdifferent angle. On the other hand,school executes rule straightly concerning pupils’ safety and morality. Teacherkeep watching students behavior closely and allow a lot of communications withkids guiding them to admit and how to improve.Kids love to talk with their teacher during & after class.
In terms of academic,SIS encourage reading constantly and you will find all kids carry a book andread when they are waiting or queuing up in school for assembly or otherfunction. There is exam from P2 and test throughout the year. They make the100% well evenly spread among tests, projects, presentation ,HW and exam, whichI don’t see high pressure on kids during exam. Teacher treat every test in a serious mannerand kids understand they need to do their best. But when kids got low marks, theywill never been blamed by teachers but encouragement. Teachers patientlyexplain to them and write remarks on their every single mistake on homework,also follow their correction in details until the kids can get a correct answerespecially in Math . Heard a few of them do Homework until mid night, but itsvery rare and the case I know is the kid start doing the homework after parentback home after 10pm. HW are given at a very reasonable volume. P1 kids do not have HW every day but canusually finish in 20 min. P2 kid has HW everyday but can usually finish within 30-40min.
In terms of language, kids are well get used to do presentation withoutscript . Since in SIS preparatory, kids do presentation by weekly and teachersasked parent do not prepare written scriptfor kids and do not ask them to memorize the script. Beforefinish the 2 year preparatory, kids can be able to come out and talk naturallyin any topic given. Same as their written also in good ability. Kids speaks English and PTH in the schooleven they know each other can talk Cantonese , they are not forced to do so butEnglish become their first language in school naturally. As a parent, sometimesI ask myself what do I want further from a school ?
Before summer, a teacher of “ student development” retired, she was theone to talk to student who has behavior mistake and provide assistance, let the kidscorrect and move on. Students cried when her retirement was announced. Then youcan imagine how students was well guided on their fault and correction from their heart bottom. I remember when I was a teen in local school,we hated those “ disciplinary” teacher as they scold one way when we made mistakein school. Just a fact sharing here, I am not trying to encourage parents toapply SIS for their kids , while it’s difficult to get in too. In short I woulddescribe it “ Work hard & play hard”as the school life.

Totally agree with 112200!! I experienced the same observation for my kid in Sis! My kid also doesn't need to do hw until that late, school gives reasonable hw volume, not everyday in a week, few may only hand in next wk! Of course, it has more relatively to those IS which may not hv hw or just once a wk, it depends on kids and how parents choose a school which fits their kids most, some may be able to cope with it, some may fit in more in some other schools. Back to the previous comment, I don't think Sis is like a local school, 112200 has explained most of the reasons, and my kid is more and more engaged in school when moving up to higher grades, I can see her changed gradually from a quiet gal when she was in py, to now a v active and participative primary student at school. Although someone may think they are busy with all school work or activities, she still was v upset when taking sick leave because she couldn't go to school! So, I hv no complain to it either :)

Is it difficult to get in SIS from PY2?

作者: 112200 時間: 16-8-30 16:46 標題: 回覆:Katherinee 的帖子
as all PY1 will be promoted to PY2, only new 2 pupils will be added in each PY2 class .

The chance will be very slim then
and the application fee is pretty much...

"不多人拍拖 ,紀律好" 只係依條已經令華人家長趨之若騖
SIS 果然有國際之名, 又有本地之實.

以自己子女性格選校. 有朋友兩個仔女, 大個個讀得ok, 都快中學畢業, 細個個讀左幾年, 最後都唔合適要轉校. 轉校後, 小朋友開心好多, 朋友話細仔性格比較活, SIS相對一般 IS 框框得比較死 <--朋友之言. 以佢經驗, 留一個, 轉走一個, 我相信都中肯.

Well said 👍🏻 it's a good school anyway and hard to get in without Singaporean nationality.

What is the ratio to get into their grade 1 without attending their PY1 or PY2? Is it a direct promotion from py2 to grade1? And do the parents need to send the kids out to learn traditional Chinese?

作者: 112200 時間: 16-9-1 18:51 標題: 回覆:貴媽媽2 的帖子
it is a direct promotion from py2 to grade1. 2 additional seats added each class for P1. Didn't heard any parents need to send the kids out to learn traditional Chinese.

我個女喺sis PY1 讀到P4, 今年轉去另一間國際學校,Sis 真係一間好好嘅學校,活動教學得黎係好谷的,同學之間鬥心亦好強,真係要好睇個小朋友是否適合。
