Hi, I was a graduate of St. Stephen's College (decades ago, of course!). And, my son is now a P6 student, so I am busy with school searching too.
Some pros-and-cons of SSC for your consideration. It's only my view, so if you find it nonsense, please just neglect it ...
Pros:
1) excellent campus - spacious and well-equipped. 2) lots of ECA - music, sports, art, etc.
3) decent investment in English native speaking teachers
--> So, students never get bored and the sense of belonging is very high. Students can expose to a better English environment; thus, language-wise is not bad.
Cons:
1) DSS, high school fee
2) peer pressure/competition in student's family background
3) high degree of freedom -- meaning that the students have to be very self-conscious and self-initiated, otherwise they may not be able to champion in their academic results.
For my case, I am not planning to pick this school for my son. As I don't think he is mentally matured to drivehimself in learning. But some other kids can be very matured and they know what they want/need in their early teen. This kind of kids require less teacher guidiance and less homework/exam pressure. I think SSC would be a choice for those with strong self-motivation.
...just a thought to share. Wish us all good luck in the school selection game!

Hi, I am considering SSC too. Do you have any idea the number of F1 students from SS Preparatory school. ?
Between SSC and Raimondi, which one will be better ? Please comment. |
