YC 第一個offer, 全日2歲班交了留位費，一條龍，但擔心普通話及英語環境不夠。
Anfield First Steps 收到 Offer Kowloon Tong, 上過 Toddlerobics 及報了 Playgroup.暫時沒有不滿意地方！但$14000留位費要考慮清楚，我還要X2.最擔心Anfield 升小學問題、只有50個位。
Kingston 12月初才見面試，Open House 感覺50%普通話50%英語，見小學部學生英語能力很好，地點環境幾好。要每三年交$8萬，學費其實三間差不多，幾千元差別。但見EK講2歲班只餘20個位，又不知面試表現如何，心情不好大哭要走就煩！能否一條龍升kingston 小學亦是重要因素，官網寫明1歲班優先升小。
如果你是我如何決擇呢？？？

要academic 就kingston, 直上小學應該無問題, 如果校長無講錯, 今年有60 個小一位, 59 個係kg 上, 只得一個係外來生. 亦應該有一堆kg 學生去其他小學, 唔係個個都會想上番原校.
我覺得Anfield 感覺好caring, 小班, 細校, 有Discipline, academic 無kingston 咁強.
kingston 99% 香港人, Anfield 雖然都係多香港人, 但都有d 外國人, 英語環境同老師我當日接觸都覺得比Kingston 好.
YC 因為報警唔洗錢, 都照報, 我有個friend 個女讀緊2 歲班, 超開心, 不過我未visit, 俾唔刑comment.
我希望我出年都會同你一樣面對相同既交叉點! 我3 間都有報, 2015/16 先入PN.

i have similar situation, but my third option is Victoria instead of Kingston. Already has offer from YC for full day program. Not quite worried about the school or its program, but still hesitating in putting my child into a full day class. Waiting for Anfield Pre-K offer. I quite like the school as it is small so teachers tend to be more focus and caring. I'm also impressed with their creativity in structuring the curriculum. As for Victoria, they just started with application so need to wait till Feb for the interview. Problem is there are so many people out there that apply to Vic, so i can't even be sure if I can get an interview or, even an offer.

We received the interview invitation from Kingston earlier this year. I understand that an interview invitation from Kingston is sort of equivalent to an offer under normal circumstances. At that time, we have already paid HK$13.6K and confirmed offer from Anfield, so it was an easier situation for us, and the thought of paying HK$72K non-refundable capital levy (to Kingston) for kindergarten education also did reinforce our decision to stick with Anfield. However it was my gut feel to finally decide to reject the interview invitation from Kingston. We did not hesitate coz we were already very convinced and so looking forward to school opening at Anfield at that point of time. I have no experiences with Kingston, so I cannot comment or compare it with Anfield. Having said that, I believe it is a good school coz most comments I heard are positive. As far as Anfield Whampoa is concerned, we are very happy with the school to date. So my 2 cents worth of advise is to just go with your gut feel, so we cannot possibly try every school.

Why?
So far Anfield gives me a feeling of less commercial, better English enviornment and good discipline with the catholic background. The only down side is maybe less chinese teaching And no secondary school.The capital levy of kingston is really a put off for me. I cannot be sure that I will stay in kingston throughout yet.
At the end just my gut feeling indeed.
But I know kingston and YC are more famous among IS

we already paid YC for the reservation fee and the registration fee to secure the spot. Registration fee is non refundable but reservation fee can be on hold till May 2014. We went for a play session for Anfield end of October and still waiting for the result letter. I personally like the school a lot. We also have tutor time offer in hand as my son is studying in their playgroup now. But sadly to say, since TT doesn't have primary, it will only be our backup. Their program is actually pretty good but too bad they are not through trained.

I think you will receive your offer from Anfield pretty soon. Anyway Anfield kindergarten graduates do not have direct entry to Anfield Primary, even though I believe there is priority. Given that your concern is through-train and you have already confirmed your offer with YC, I think your hesitation should be between YC and TT.

Both Kingston and Anfield do not gurantee direct entry to their primary school. Only YC is.
But so far based on what I have heard (not experienced), most of the students can move up to primary school if they wishes to. I know some Kingston KG students would go to LS, some Anfield KG goes to ESF and other IS.

It does not says as "gurantee" as YC, but I am not worry about it. Not gurantee but shouldn't be a problem.
Admission To Kingston Primary School
Children who attend Kingston International Kindergarten have priority for admission to Primary One Kingston International School over students who have not attended Kingston International Kindergarten. First priority for entry to Kingston International School is those Kindergarten students who have attended Kingston since Playgroup.

At Kingston Open day, one of the teachers told me almost all Kingston kindergarten students will go to their primary school if they want to. So even though they said it's not guarantee, I don't think it should be a big concern.

0. 讀K其實個人覺得3間都係行同一條路；做同一樣野；考同一批小學；冇乜大分別；
1. 認識一個家長；2個小朋友分別係Anfield同Kingston讀K；佢個人comment Kingston好D;
2.個人經驗Anfield跟呢度其他家長差不多；唔錯；起碼qualified to pass all Year 1 interviews;
3. 我(可能我係100%猜錯??)猜80%Anfield/Kingston/YC K家長小學首選都唔係呢3間；如果驚住到時搵唔到心儀小學；咪揀上小學機會最大d個間；依家咁多International Kindergarten,2/3年之後唔知咩世界；有個backup到時定d(聽聞Kingston小學人地出面未interview, kindergarten家長就要比小學留位費；到時又要人生交义點!?)

YC英語環境唔係差。只是同時有一位外籍老師，一位廣東話老師，小朋友可以同時接觸兩種語言，同時又可以選擇講哪種語言。我見有些小朋友跟中文老師講中文，跟外籍老師時又會說英語。小朋友之間會傾向用自己較擅的語言溝通(大部份會係廣東話)。
在YC要問老師問題唔想講英文都可以講中文。在Anfield，老師只說英語，小朋友又自然會講多啲英文。
你指forum話YC小朋友學英文學得唔好係指哪方面唔好?(聽、講、讀、寫哪方面?)跟哪些學校比較?如果硬要抽英語出來比較，咁當然選一間只有英文的學校肯定會效果較好。

For kingston, interview means offer. No need to worry. In fact you can ask to see if you can have it earlier.
If you cannot provide a good English speaking environment outside school, think twice before choosing YCIS. As canto is allowed in campus, your kid will very likely hang out with people also speaking their most comfortable language, ie Cantonese. Anfield may be best in this respect.
If you can afford schools like YCIS and kingston, I suppose money is not too much a concern. You can always circumvent the one dragon issue by buying NR from ESF , RC, DC or the new IS in Lam tin.
作者: nintendo 時間: 13-11-22 17:36
The NR at ESF in some way works like debenture in some other IS: student get an interview earlier. It is no way a guarantee of a place. There are so many people willing to pay NR that, ESF has no problem with finding the right people to fill the places. There are lots of NR children that fail at the interview stage. No matter how some people want to believe or spread the myth of "direct acceptance" with NR, it is definitely not the case.
作者: 21Ckid 時間: 13-11-22 18:00
EK is filled with rumors that lots of people failed despite having debentures or NR. I know there are eager parents who want their school to admit based on merit, not on money. But the above is simply not quite true. There are of course cases of rejection but that is rare. For 2013 admission, DC and RC granted offers to 100% of NR applicants, though some declined and forfeited deposits.

My son is studying at Kingston, 2 years old class. THere are 2 teachers in each class, one speaks mandarin and another speaks English, both of them are native.
The class started at Aug, and so till now, it's about 3.5 months. Recently, my son is able to sing the Mandarin songs at home. He is able to count his fingers in Mandarin as well.
As we have a helper at home who speaks with him in English, so his english speaking ability is better than the mandarin. However, for a 2.5 years old kid, I'm very glad to see that he can count the fingers in both mandarin and English.
In fact, YC has offered me the full day class and I have paid the first month school fee already. I have picked up Kingston at the last minute is mainly because of their language environment.
I hope the my sharing above is useful.
