I just called the school and they confirmed me that upper nursery = K1 (for 3 years old children)

what do you mean no miscellaneous fee? They also have book fees/uniform fees etc...also, from the talk, they have many excursions during the year. Do those cost extra money?

I do agree that THINK is quite expensive, but there's no other miscellaneous fee. I don't know if other private KG also includes those miscellaneous fee in their school fee or not.

I also agree with Jeco. I think our children will have enough exposure in Cantonese at home, so it will be ok even if they don't study Cantonese at school. And yes, the trend is to have good English and PTH skills, and studying PTH can actually help the child in Chinese writing in Primary/Secondary. But the problem is.....I don't know PTH!!!

你都覺得讀THINK唔適合銜接LOCAL小學呀? 但佢每日3小時課程...有2小時係外藉老師上英文又好吸引, 最衰佢K2-K3全變英普班啦! 我岩岩都特登打多次問老師, 我話K2-K3全變英普班, 到小學咪好難適應老師用廣東話授課,  ...

is book fees paid twice a year?

book fees and uniform fee is one-off ... no charge for the excursions. Guess it;s included in the school fee

The school lady said they will publish P1 placement result on web next week.

Most kids will go to DSS school (not local school) since they focus on creative thinking & english. 1 boy goes to DPS & 1 ...

may i ask which ones are considered DSS active-learning schools?

Actually, I prefer Eng/PTH more than Eng/Cantonese for K2 & k3, I think it is better to learn chinese using PTH in reading & writing prospective. I also think the 2 hrs english daily is very attractiv ...

I cannot write chinese -- like Chan xx, Choi xx, Yau Choi, etc are DSS active learning approach schools.

torship, they are 優才， 蔡繼又， 陳守仁.

tmr is our deadline for deposit, i guess 50% won'y pay coz I am still worrying about the P1 placement. Seems like traditional school is more secure even though  ...

I've paid for Think and will also pay for York this Friday. Waiting for SN's reply.

I didn't finally, we like the language environment in THINK a lot but quite afriad of less homework. How about you? I have paid York & SN so far.

toreship

6321, I gave up stafford because i think the tuition is too expensive...it is already $36xx and they will adjust it next year. York said they will adjust from current $3000 to $3500-3600...since they are sister schools...I believe stafford will adjust the same percentage...which then will end up more expensive than Think!!! So I am deciding btw Think and York instead...waiting for SC and SN. How will you choose btw SN and York? SN is a lot cheaper, but I don't know about the quality of the school. Any comments?  My first choice is defintely SC, but chance is very slim because my bb is 0711 bb.
