My niece studied in Yew Chung long long time ago. All I know is their curriculum is "International". Thus if you're already preparing to send ur bb abroad or continue in international stream in primary school, Yew Chung might be a good choice. If you're thinking of local primary school, YC might not be suitable.

Hope this helps.

They are offering bilingual classes, and provide an option for K3 for those who are planning to send their kids to local primary. There's a briefing session with campus visit tomorrow (10/12/09), just call them to make a reservation if you are interested so that u can learn more about their school.

I heard from some friends that these years the chance for entering St. Paul co ed after studing in Yew Chung is higher, if this is true then may be it also fits for Local schools?

Actually my girl is having pre-nursery there for 1 mth now. They have 1 NET and 2 local teacher in the 3 hr class... I suppose it's the same for K1. K1 schooling fee is $5550 for half day, compare to St. Cat and KV etc is more expensive ($3K) but they got NET in the whole 3 hrs... I think it's still worth it...? but since I want my girl to study in local school, this will be a hassle for me to continue w/ YC.

More comment please!

I am planning to put my son to Yew Chung Two Year Old Programme as I really love the teachers and campus environment there.
As far as I know, they have both local school stream and international school stream even if your child go to their kindergarten but somehow you have to choose in K2/K3. You can always call them to ask for details as all their staffs are very friendly.
I am not too worried about it since some of my friends have children graduated from YC Kindgergarten but still join the local primary school afterwards.
Of course if all depends whether you like the school or not.

My son is currently studying at Yew Chung for the 2 year-old programme. I must say the teachers are very caring and patient and my boy loves going to school now.

If money is not a concern, it's a very very good kindergarten. I don't see a big concern for going back to local primary school since YC kindergarten offers both local stream and international stream. My son didn't like speaking Chinese before so he always followed the NET teacher only when he first started (in August). But the local teachers also keep encouraging him to speak Chinese as they said it's very important to the children to have good Chinese foundation in Hong Kong. So I can see my son is now speaking more Chinese as well as maintaining his English level.

The teachers often call me to update my son's progress in the school and give me advices too.

I've attended their briefing session on 10/12, and I like their educational philosophy as it pretty much matches mine! My main concern is their campus, seems to be very small and a bit old.

Could you share more about this kinder?

my boy is studying the two-programme of Yew Chung.  we loves the school; the teachers are very nice and caring.  my boy is very eager to go to school.

he is studying in the local stream (Cantonese and English).  however, he keeps speaking English (no Cantonese at all).

depending on your plan for your kids... Yew Chung is certainly one of the good choices.  However, if you prefer your kids for local schools, you may wish to compare with other schools as well.

作者: onchai 時間: 09-12-23 10:51

thx for your sharing. as i learnt from their briefing session, they teach both eng & chin instead of solely emphasize on eng learning, and they provide an option for k3 for those who prepare to further study in local primary... am i correct?

still, my main concern is their campus. any comment on the hygiene? also, do u think it is spacious enough for activities (as i don't know the number of students for each campus)... thx!

My son is now studying Yew Chung 2-years old class now.

He joined the school from ITLP (playgroup, 3 days per week).  Since we always use English to communicate with my son, when my son was in ITLP class, he communicated well with NET.  He did improve a lot in Chinese but just the we did not notice it around that time.  At first, I though the ITLP class is mainly for them to play but not much teaching.  Yet, when I saw the pictures taken by the teachers and notice the performance of my son, they did teach him a lot of things and my son can learn a lot.

This year, after he turned to 2 years old, he joined the 2 years old class.  He starts speaking a lot more cantonese.  Both his English and Chinese are good.  When I brought him to local Kinders for interview, he could handle both Englhish and Chinese.  Though I determined to let him join KV next year, I still think Yew Chung is a very good Kinder. A very good start for children.

Hygiene: it is nice. there is a lady working for each class. she takes good care of the kids' hygiene. she helps change clothes (if neccessary). she regularly brings them to washrooms and clean hands as well. hygiene is not a problem.

Your concern sounds interesting. YC's hygiene is definitely not bad. They are transparent as well. I recalled that last academic year, one of their NET got "hand, mouth and foot disease" through her daughters, all parents were informed of the situation. Also, my son was asked to go home two weeks ago as he had flu symptons.

For playground, don't worry, no matter how big or small the playground is, the children will consider its a big playground anyway....they are too small

I would think any parent has more cause to worry about those 2 issues at other kindys like Sc and KV - look at the size of those classrooms !!!

作者: ac917 時間: 09-12-23 15:25

請大家俾意見，除了想知兩個campus的分別，仲想知是否入面的學生都較有錢之餘，校風會否很虛榮呢？相對SC & KV，YC(local stream)的academic會近似那一類型？請賜教。

The campus at Kent Road is just for ITLP (playgroup) and year 2 class only. For K1 or children at 3 years old or above, they will be moved to somerset road campus.

The tuition fee is at $5550 per month for 2 years old and k1 class, exclude school uniform and school bus. They charge nothing extra basically. I paid nothing more since my son join this school when he was 16 months old.

I believe most of the children attending YC for k1 would choose internation school as their first priority. However, the school stress that their student can connect to those main stream school. In fact, I believe the student from YC have no main difference with those from Victoria, HKBU Kinder, etc. However, they are not comparable to those from SC & KV, while the teaching methods are so different.

作者: ac917 時間: 09-12-23 16:24

Dear Chunyatmama,
Thanks for your reply.
How about the school fees of K2 & K3 (local stream)? Are you also targeting local school in Primary? 如果上傳統小學，會否需要額外報courses？例如之前有mami提過可能中文水平未夠等，傳統小學的銜接如何？懇請賜教！

I would like to know which primary schools they will go to after K.3 (other than Yew Chung Primary). Seems no such info they disclose to public.

作者: chunyatmama 時間: 09-12-24 23:15

I did not pay attention to their tuition fee for k2-k3. I believe most of the children attended YC for k2-k3 will stay with their primary school. In fact, YC's kinder and primary school are very good. Yet, the secondary school is just so so. It may be because most of the students will move to aboard to continue their study.

YC 基本是一間超 Cap 水既幼稚園, 得個"貴"字, 又要比廿萬做 Deposit, 學術水平唔係十分標青, 同其他國際幼稚園差不多, 我都有朋友個仔讀緊, 佢都算係有錢人, 住九龍站物業, 但都覺得 YC 乜都講錢, 仲有 YC 太多香港人讀, 我個人覺得應該選一 D 多外國人讀的國際學校先好, 可以另個小朋友英文水平更好, 最重要係可識到多 D 外國朋友, 真正做到廣闊視野, 試想你讀間國際學校, 識 D 同學又大部份係香港人, 咁有乜意思呢, 所以有心讀國際學校未必要選佢.

Ha ? "Deposit" for kindergarten, sorry I never heard it nor experienced before as my son studied there before.

From my own observation, YC is a not bad KG. They have low teachers to students ratio, and the Chinese & NETs are very experienced and caring (at least to my son's attended classes). One disadvantage found that they have less discipline (only my own subjective feeling) in comparison to my son's current KG.

Over $10,000 per month is for full day class. Yet, the price include violin tutorial class wor. My son is attending the half day class at $5,550 per month only. For comparable standard school like Victoria, Enfil, etc. YC is not "so expensive". Apart from the monthly charges, I seldom pay for any other things, except for those for charity that you can have your choice to pay or not.

Frankly, I like this school very much though I will let my son to attend KV next year. The reason for my son to change is that I want my son to have more exposure to Chinese and I would like to let him join the main stream primary school.
