十五十六添, 我都好想兒子入讀國際學校, 但....

如果兒子入讀國際小學及中學, 但當入大學時, 是否一定要去外國讀書呢?

可否在本地讀大學呢? (因本人不想他獨自一個去外國讀書)

請問你女兒讀邊間efs, 可以有中文學呢?

其實, 我亦想我的兒子去外國讀書, 但可能是獨子, 故不想他離開我去那麼遠的地方讀大學, 故不知道若讀國際學校, 難不難入讀香港的大學呢?

國際學校學生可以經「非聯招」考入本地大學。
以前，本地國際學校學生經「非聯招」考入本地大學率偏低，因為以前傳統中學要讀7年，而家傳統學校改左334，讀6年中學。即是大家讀書年數一樣。情況可能會有轉變。
不過，唯一擔心 ...

opakgn, 多謝你的分享!  是的, 我亦不打算給兒子太大壓力, 我想他可以開開心心讀書.  但請問如果讀到一半, 發覺兒子原來不適應國際學校, 那可以怎辦呢?  聽聞很難轉回傳統學校, 是嗎?

請問你會打算給女兒在外國讀書嗎 (讀完中學之後)?

msbeauty

真的多謝你的分享.  我估計你應該是公務員家屬, 是嗎?  其實我亦是.  但據我所知, 教育津貼只去到19歲, 那若到時你的女兒會到英國留學, 那筆費用是好大的 (因已沒有津貼). 是嗎?

而且據我所知, 這津貼不是局限於去英國, 其他地方留學都可以, 對嗎?

不好意思, 太多問題!

msbeauty

好開心看到大家的分享.  但想請問一下, 是否很難入國際學校呢?  因我們只是一個很普通, 很普通的香港家庭, 沒有外國護照, 而我和我老公又不是專業人士. 只是平時跟工人會用英文談話, 是否入讀國際學校比較難呢?   據知若外國或移民人士入讀機會好大, 是嗎?   那我應該要給兒子什麼training呢?

msbeauty

Thanks, opakgn.  但我睇過, EFS的國際幼稚園得4間, 而我又住在九龍區, 故返學要搭長途車.  而其他所謂的國際幼稚園都大約1萬一個月, 實在好貴.

其實所謂的國際班(本地幼稚園), 是否用英文上課呢?  但若五歲(K2)入唔到國際小學, 那是否要在六歲才考本地小學呢?

Sorry too many question...

msbeauty

是的, 我都有點擔心, 讀國際學校的學生不著重英文grammer, 他們只是講好流利, 但寫方面好弱, 是嗎? 那是否代表中, 英都學得不好?  

而且, 想問國際學校的課程是否比傳統學校淺d? 很少功課和考試嗎? 那怎樣知道他學了什麼,  怎樣知道他的程度?

msbeauty

多謝大家的意見!  請問RC 是否一條龍? 小學會直升中學? 小學和中學是否各6年, 由Year 1 to Year 12?  

因本人住在九龍區, 請問除了RC外, 還有其他國際學校是一條龍呢?

而且, 我聽說 RC 有 IB 課程, 那是什麼呢?

Hi cuteb,

我小朋友而家係boxhill讀緊N班!

其實老實講, 我都唔知佢地中文課程係深定淺! 因為我都唔知出面啲kinder中文課程係點?  你講, 我先知原來佢地都唔算淺.  我只知, 佢地以前無中文堂, 今年先開始有.  每日 ...

HI! PearPear,

Thanks for sharing. 請問Boxhill 難入嗎? 是否要interview?  我住在九龍區, 我仲諗緊交通方面會否很遠, 對小朋友會否很辛苦....

請問你之前有否給小朋友特別的training, 如上什麼playgroup之類呢?

msbeauty

Hi! cuteb, Anfield 已經收咗你個仔喇, 咁快既?  我個仔都是細仔(1108), 但好多幼兒園都話要等到時有位先可以插班喎.....點解 Anfield 可以咁快收既?  同埋... 真的不用interview 嗎?

msbeauty

Yes, my son is now 12 months.
I applied nursery for 2010, I have to stay at school with him until Nov.(He is 1008), How about you? You also applied nursery for your BB? AM/PM class?

Yes, I also applied pre-nursery for my son, however no school confirms the offer in this moment due to 細仔.  And I need to wait until there is vacancy or student withdrawal when my son is neary 2 years old.....

What other international kinders did you apply for your BB?

You mean you applied pre-programme for next year? It's different between nursery and prep., am/pm?

Can you give me some suggestions about  ...

Yes, I applied the pre-nursery, which is before K1.  However they haven't confirmed the offer due to my baby hasn't reached 2 years on Sept 2010.  Therefore I need to wait until Dec 2010 (when my baby is 2 years old at that time).

Please advise me the difference for nursery and prep?  Does nursery is K1, while prep is pre-nursery (which is before K1)? Am I Correct?

For me, if I were you, I will prefer "Think" as $$$ is also my concern.  Also I want my child can attend the whole day class.

May I know what how we can support our child at home if we plan to send him to IS Kindergarten?   Do you mean to speak Eng at home??  However I can speak Eng, but maybe the Grammer is not correct.  So if speaking Eng at home to my child, I am wondering if he will learn the wrong grammer Eng also?

msbeauty,

You may consider Kowloon Baptist Church Kindergarten, which locates opposite to Baptist University.  The school fee is very reasonable ($2200 per month) and this is a real international sch ...

Really thanks for your information.  Yes, I know this is a good school, however I also heard that there is no homework, just all the day "Play".  So I am afraid the kid just concentrate to play, and cannot learn anything after graduated K2.  

Does your child also study this school?  If yes, is it difficult to enter another IS (as all the time is play)?  Does the school teach English Writing?  

Appreciated if you can share with me.  Thanks
