I ever think about this school as a doctor told me this school is patient enough and good for my daughter. My daughter is shy and not talkactive, she recommend啟基, CKY, 禮賢 as they are very concern on children development. at another govt education seminar, I remember the speaker also recommend 啟思, but he had not mention the details why chose this school, just say good.
After a few month considersation, I will more concern on english language development .I think my final decision may be SMC or CKY.

I may give up some DSS for this school..still considering..
Just talked to few moms and dads of this school and other schools. Explore their curriculums and worksheets as well as talk to few P6 kids of this school...
Curriculum: Very good curriculum with educational rationale, especially Chinese curriculum. I like the ways they organize the learning steps.. The mums said English is not enough... but I look at their books and worksheets, a really good gradual learning process and covered necessarily learning areas. They are carefully planned. Not as "deep" as other schools, but well planned and as usual as some "good enough" schools, such as TSL. TSL's English curriculum is good and well-planned and TSL use English in all subjects. TSL Chinese is not that well-planned. Creative use Chinese in most subjects..Other "deep" schools, such as KTS and DPS, the curriculum and worksheets is "deep", but not fit for all, only fit for fast learners in languages...if you kid is a fast learner, then it is good, but if your kid is general or not fast, then it will be painful and headache...and mechanical.
Kids feedback - kids love their teachers and school , close attachment.. kids speak in confidence, both Mandarin and English
Mom's feedback - expensive, initially worry on English standard, but worry less when the kids involved more and learn more...and motivated more to read books themselves.
Worksheets and books - reasonable for most. Chinese worksheets impressive!! good curriculum..

Thanks motherotk,
My daughter got Creative and SFA offers only. She's not the aggressive / competitive girl, I think I will not register at SFA, but as CPS is a Chinese meduim school, I am a bit worry about its English too.
Does CPS use Chinese to teach everything except English?
NET teacher teaching English?
Is there a book list of CPS? ( I have SFA book list if anyone want)
Wish more CPS parents can share more info. I like CPS a lot, but worry about English.

As from my researches with the moms and kids from these two schools:

1) Teacher input and quality-
TSL's teacher input is "too general", in parents' conference, the feedbacks are "superficial". The moms tell me that they were even angry why they should attend the meeting for such a superficial meetings - for checking exam papers-very administrative and saying "general comments", see no hearts from the teachers..The teacher called the moms at the start of the semester saying this is Principal to ask them to call - a kind of "forced" attitude.. teacher student relationship is not closed..
In this case, if you kid is really outspoken, then he/she will be taken cared of and assigned a lots of responsbility at the expenses of the "quiet" ones, even the quiet ones are really smart kids and with very good academic results. These "quiet and smart" kids will still be ok, but will not be developed in other aspects, need parents to do this, but the school will not have these kinds of specific care to develop them...chances are given to appeared smart kids..like most school will do..

In Creative, individual attention to individual strengths of the kids will be highlighted and discussed...and encouraged. TSL's teacher are young and yet smart, but they are too "practical" and their eyes are on smart kids in general...they just follow the "mainstream" culture...no more than that..
TSL teachers are very efficient and they have a good admin system...like government official, provide up to standard service, but no more...Principal, very administrative, proper and no more....TSL moms say that this principal is pushing the school to a higher rank in these few years as observed from the kids they picked and from the school events they changed, some fun events be cancelled, replaced by "academic and boring events", some moms say the value changed, dislike this kind of "practical" style, some moms say this is good..as it push up academic - who knows? so it all depends..

Also TSL at some time try to encourage classroom discussion, but the moms say that the ED report said that their teachers were not well-trained in carrying out interactive classroom discussion...

Creative - Moms said that teachers have good qualities in carrying out explorative study and encourage classroom interaction.

So depneds on which kind of kids you have, quiet and smart kids will keep even quiet in TSL but will be motivated in Creative. Outspoken kids can adjust both, but the outspoken will learn how to give chances to those quiet in Creative.

2) Curriculum

TSL moms say that English curriculum is good and P4 and 5 have a great difference when compared with P1-3, especially the language subjects...need to take care of kids that have languages learning difficulties.. special attention, teachers in general will not help...For other subjects are easy to cope, such as Maths, GS, computer etc...

If you kids are good at languages and a quick learner, TSL in P4 & 5 will have no difficulties...

Creative - both smart and late bloomer will be ok, but smart kids will learn how to respect late bloomers and have more space for exploration and discovery...a space means "slower" in learner, but not without good "outcomes"...depends on how you as parents are able to tolerate this kind of space for kids...and how strong you believe in your kids and in your own parenting philosophy...though of course you are not sure sometimes, nobody can be 100% sure...
