You live in metro town, sure pick boxhill la.  No needs traveling that allows your kids more leisure time

Very tempted to go for Boxhill because it's really near.. But husband said campus is small and lesser focus on Chinese.. Mills is bigger and new, have Chinese lessons everyday. Really hard to choose..

If u will anyway change to other kindergarten in K1, pick a near one. i live in Ocean Shores and my  daughter is studying in BH nursery class. I think they are too small to study far away.... near home is good ar ~

不如你去mills上playgroup, 看看適不適合才決定，他們有2歲班的playgroup.

Personally I think Mills is good.

We got an offer in another international school this month or we would have sent our son to Mills for K1 next year.

Yes, that's why I am so tempted to send my bb to Boxhill. But my husband said the campus is small.. I'm still not sure whether to change school in K1..

I like Mills, I've been to the Open day and i think the teachers and staff are quite good, teacher to student ratio is 1:7….. try the playgroup first to get some idea

The teachers are very nice and the principal is very caring too.  The campus is new and big and the classroom is well setup too.

My son was happy and smiling all the time when he was in Mills (open day and trial class).  He has always been sad and not happy when he is in school (Learning Habitat).

Oh, really? Which Learning Habitat? Lohas Park? I heard it is a good school? Your son still studying there? My girl was happy when we went for Mills open day. We think the teachers are quite good.

Our experience in LH (Lohas Park campus) has been very negative.  The teacher is not very caring and the material is too difficult (to us anyways as it seems to be the trend for all schools now).  To me, PN is all about playing and learning how to take care of themselves but the school focus mainly on academic.  That's why we are pulling our son out and transfer to an international school for K1 next year.

Mills seems to be good as the teachers seem to be caring and the main focus is 'learning through play'.  There is no homework at all until K3 (according to the principal).

Wow.. I didn't know that LH focuses so much on academic.. We thought that they are a 'happy' school. Yes, I agree with you that PN should be about playing and not so much on academic. They are too young to be pushed to pick up too much academic stuff.. Good that you've gotten other IS that is suitable for your son. :) Which IS is that?

If bb studied in Mills, what kind of primary school will they study? I target to get into local school and not sure if Mills can catch up or not.

adelk

I understand from Mills during their open day is that, they have 2 streams, 1 targeting local schools, and another targeting international schools.

We haven't decided yet but it will likely be either Woodland or Etonhouse (unless IMS calls us and offers us a place as we are on the waiting list for the Tin Hau campus).  We will also consider Small World too if they can offer us morning class (currently we are offered afternoon class only).
We do like Mills very much too.  But my wife prefers a school with a higher native English speaking student ratio (so that our son won't pick up bad accent here and there like what we find in Learning Habitat this year in PN).

我都有BH and mills Am offer.....

你地係咪target上國際小學？
