Re: CDNIS Vs SIS

Unfortunately, my nieces are considered slightly above average in academics among their classmates.  The reason that my sister-in-law arranges so many private lessons with her daughters is that she feels the academics of ESF to be a bit lacking in some respects.  However, I would like to emphasize that she likes the school very much.  She does encourage me to apply despite her kids' extremely busy after school schedule.

I would also like to point out that the spoken level which I mentioned is happening to one of my nieces.  As I mentioned, atmosphere at home is very important as well.  My niece is rather shy, and even her mom as well as her teacher notice a problem.  She is in 3rd grade, FYI.

Mingling between western and local children is another way to lead the kids to speak more English.  Apart from my nieces and nephews as examples, my baby was invited to my neighbor's child's birthday party last week.  The child (western) now attends 1st grade at ESF Glenealy.  Out of the 20 or so children invited to the party, only one was Chinese (not counting my baby).

Re: CDNIS Vs SIS

Having expectations is just natural, otherwise, who would spend so much time searching for a school? and pay the exorbitant tuition?

Personally, I am not comfortable with the academics of ESF, especially when it comes to Chinese (or the lack of it).

Re: CDNIS Vs SIS

Depends on how you evaluate the academics.  Having good grades does not equate to knowledge -as we would all agree.  Perhaps I haven't done a thorough search yet, but if by public exams, you mean the UK 會考 (sorry, I don't understand the system as I started the equivalent of HK Form 2 overseas), I was advised that it is significantly easier than HK's.  Even the newspaper had recently published an article about the UK 會考 becoming easier and easier and therefore, is no longer a good benchmark for some top universities in the UK in evaluating their applicants.

How about evaluating the IBD exam results?  What do you think then?

You mentioned "above average in academics". Is Maths also above average?

My nieces mentioned that the math in school is too simple.

Re: CDNIS Vs SIS

Actually you don't need to convince me with such vehemence.  I have no agenda to set myself out against ESF.  My baby is only 6 months old, so I am not against or defending a school because my kid is going there.  My agenda is to search for the best school according to my own criteria.  ESF, at this moment, simply is not one of them for multiple reasons - an important one being firsthand observation of my relatives' kids (who do well in school generally).
