We got the offers from SMC and Pui Kiu, both thru-train and seems good schools, I hope some parents share wz us some different opinions. Can some parents compare them in terms of English learning environment and overall development environment as well.

Many tks.

tks jojoma, but it seems the thread didn't bring too much forth discussion for these 2 schools.

any SMC or Pui Kiu parents can share? I can not make up my mind as these 2 schools are somewhat similiar from my view.

well, I don't believe SMC is a band 3 school as Larchai said below either. If so, it shouldnt be such a difficult decision for me. I was from HKG and I know 10 years ago's SMC was band 3 or even worse but I am sure new SMC is a very very good school especially in english environment provided and that's why we applied it.

but my concern is, somewhat similiar as Sharon 123, will "too emphasize in foreign language" result in less interests and appreciation in Chinese culture, or say weaker understanding of Chinese history and art. My kid's mom is a Dutch and my kid staying all day long wz an Indonesia maid. So I need to consider more...

In SMC, all subjects are taught by English except Chinese language right? In fact I very doubt of this as I can not imagine how general knowledge, biography, history, geography, literature, physical knowledge could be only taught by English?
