I visited that school before.  The teachers seems caring and I saw a few kids studying there look happy.  However, they are not following IB system which make me have a little bit concern of the future path.  
Also, they will have 1 more K3 class in the coming acedamic year but they cannot confirm if they have 1 more P1 class for the following year.  That means those K3 kids may not all directly go into the P1 class.

Yes, I totally agreed with you.

They are running International Primary Curriculum and  there are only 1000 schools joined this program across the world!

I heard from teachers saying that there were two kids given offered by RC this year.

Playing is fun but I am not sure whether students will be competitive ...

any parents have experience to share?

The point is, we are living in Kln side but there is no transport from our home to Tai Po.

If we accept the offer, we have to move before August and employee a maid to take care of my boy

(my mum is helping me to take of him now so I have to move house, employ a maid and take almost 3 hours to and from office!)

I am still struggling, any advice?

有沒有此校的comments?

Do they teach mandarin?

alunsweeney

每天都有中文課。
本地香港學生會讀本地中文，鬼仔/外國小朋友會讀淺一d中文。
此網頁很有用，http://www.generations.edu.hk/about-us/overview。原來他們打算明年在香港島開新小學。太好了。
上帝的工場又多一所!!! 我上次打去問校巴司機，他說nis的學生比起esf純好多。

究竟, ipc出來的學生，競爭力又會如何? 英文的程度又如何?

請問在港島建小學是CONFIRM了的事嗎?
因為我很想小朋友讀基督教的國際學校
而NIS又是學費我能負擔的一間

crystalpui

頭先打去SWCK問
原來係跟小朋友出世日子去排隊
咁我小朋友可能入唔到了
一班得收20個小朋友
AM/PM加埋得40個小朋友

NIS kindergarten is indeed a good school. My son is studying K3 there. He just joined the school last August. He loves the school much much more than ESF. I think the reasons are:
1. the smaller class size (15 students/class) - each student got teacher's attention. Everybody got a chance to perform on stage to celebrate Christmas. Everybody's name is recognized. Everybody's birthday is celebrated... the whole school sings happy bday song together.

2. the outdoor playground is amazing. You've got to see it for yourself.

3. the everyday morning praise session is one of the children's and parents' favourites. Everybody including teachers, children AND parents sing songs and pray every morning. At times, depending on IPC topics being discussed, professionals are invited to talk to children. Last time, people came in to show different animals to the children. Parents were also invited to introduce their jobs.

4. Children do have weekly homework assignments (if they cannot finish them in school). The school teaches traditional Chinese characters in Mandarin and the curriculum is around daily life experience.  And starting in second term of K3, students started simple but interesting reading comprehension using Oxford Reading Tree series. Students have to write weekly journal (English) as well... very simple, just one or two sentences. For Maths, K3 is now learning subtraction.

5. K3 is a full-day class. Children get to learn to be independent... manage to have lunch, snack, take a nap, and play at recess time.

6. No Cantonese is allowed in school. I once talked in Cantonese in school and a kid said to me "English, please." Children communicate in English to one another even outside school.
