而家小女在一所私立幼稚園上學, 英粵班, 正考慮將來小一的問題, 本身TARGET佢入陳守仁, CKY等的IB學校, 但又怕競爭太大, 唔夠人爭, 唔想佢讀D死記, 死背, 死考試的傳統學校, 但又唔打算比佢放洋, 在香港讀國際學校是一條出路嗎?請高人指點

1. 大部份IS只讀到K2就升小一；假設妳女兒依家讀緊K1；現在考慮小學讀國際學校的話；明年今日要準備好面試(如果有得in)；Will she be ready for interview?
2. 依家本地人入國際學校爭崩頭僧多粥少；一年比一年難；當然爭到之後唔使面對不必要的背書壓力；
3.出唔出國?一百個家長有一百個唔同諗法；係唔係讀國際學校冇必然關係。亦有一部份會在香港讀大學；
講左咁多可能答唔到你想要的答案但呢d係我見到的現實。

如果以CKY跟英基比較（學費差不多），我估您女女入讀前者的機會較大。

其実我相信好多讀国際学校的、也未必TARGET出国読書的。　可能只是希望小朋友開心D.
私校/直資也不只陳守仁、CKY,也有其他不錯的。
ESF的競争可能比你的想像更大。

CKY is already an accrediated IB school.

作者: CSJ安樂窩 時間: 11-12-7 19:32

I thought they only have IBDP? are they qualify for PYP and MYP now?

Here is a link for a list of IB schools in HK. Some are international schools and some are not. There are more IB schools that the two you have mentioned.

Here is a list of international schools. (Some are IB and some following national curriculum of another country)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_international_schools_in_Hong_Kong

Most DSS (Direct Subsidy School) do not require students to recite and do dictations as much as the traditional schools. Here is the list.

Do look at school websites and visit some to find out what schools suit your kid most before you decide which path to take.

Good luck with your search.

CKY provides IBDP only. Not for PYP and MYP.

所有CKY 學生都可以考IBDP。(有別於DSS)

Hi 9284, 唔知您有冇留意BK【高中教育】版？那裡也有 IS 家長分析經 Non-JUPAS 在香港升學竅門。

係喎, 只係得DP.

要讀DP,唔係所有學生都有得考.

KCIS 採用 BNC (British National Curriculum)，只有 IB DP。其實不少國際/私校也只有 IB DP，沒有PYP & MYP。

Do you know why?

Most IS have PYP, MYP and IBDP.

After observing for 15 months of my son in Pre-IB and IBDP, I will let him do MYP and IBDP,he may have better benefit from the curriculum. For PYP, I will take it as optional.

It's good to follow the same learning approach from early years.  Hence, I guess no one would refute the notion that a kid is likely to benefit the most from the IB methodology from MYP (or even PYP) up to DP.  But there are two factors worth-noting.

First, the DP is the first and most popular (read: recognised) of the three developed by IBO to help prepare students in an increasingly globalised world.  In essence, it has been trying with considerable success to do away with the local exam systems, eg, the US, UK, or the European ones, for students to apply for universities around the world.  One key consideration: The student needs not (in most cases) sit different exams even if s/he is eyeing on universities in different countries or continents.  Not surprisingly, it has proved a success with international schools early on.

Second, there aren't many schools who offer another programme in addition to the DP.  There are 4065 programmes on offer: 2292 DP, 857 PYP and 916 MYP.  I guess the numbers tell something about the school decisions.  Far as I know, there are many grammar schools in the UK and private schools in the US and Australia who only offer DP.

As to the necessity of a student taking MYP or PYP before proceeding to the DP, take LPC as an example, one of the more successful IB schools in HK.  I doubt they would really require students (local or overseas) to take PYP or MYP for admission.

One can easily argue that it's no good for a school to provide ONLY the DP but not the other two.  Well, IB is not really the best for all but it suits those with that kind of learner profile and meets the needs of some who do not wish to confine themselves to the local system.  And the DP in essence is to prepare the student for further studies in the university.  Consider this statement re a student enrolling in a bachelor's programme in BA or engineering: He is not up to it as he is not IB-trained.  For or against?

Long time no see.......

Personally, I agreed with your factor one, as I know HKDSE will struggle for some years before getting real "international recognization". If I want to prepare my son for different destinations for post-secondary education, IB is the best option at this point.

For factor two,we may also need to consider other elements. Your numbers represent some phenomenon in those countries, but we also bear in mind, in USA, even you have IBDP results, you still need to have SAT results and some students also have AP; the same in UK, GCSE also a very basic requirement in public and private schools (ESF follow the same pattern).

For LPC is not a good example, as it's not the same case in your and my kid's school. They used HKCEE exam results + Chalenge Day + Interview to recruit right students for IBDP. No more HKCEE, LPC replaced HKCEE with an appitude test. They screened the applicants and picked the "best fit" (not the best). The same in some DSS schools in HK like SPCC and DBS. In your son's school may assume all kids are fit for IBDP.

In previous post, I stated my stand on the 3 programs. The Pre-IB or bridging program serves two roles in HK situation.
1. In NSS, the senior high has three years, but IBDP only last for two years. For the continuity, the Pre-IB (MYP) can optimise the three years duration;
2. The teaching and learning methods of IBDP have a gap cf NSS, the additional year can help the students to adapt the new methodologies.

In your conclusion, I also agreed. No single system fits all, as parents we need to be open and sensible to select a right program for our dear children.

papa_pop is pretty open-minded and knowledgeable in IB system, no need to worry.
