Any thoughts on the two schools? We weigh our pros and cons and still in a deadlock. We understand that comparing these two schools is comparing apple and orange, but since our child currently studies at YCIS (3 year old class) and got accepted at FIS Int'l Stream (Reception), it is something to consider (we are a French-Hong Kong family). We are currently only considering these two schools.
We want our child to be fluent in English & Mandarin, while hold basic communicative level in French. Not taking into account costs difference and locations, here's part of the list:
YCIS
- Bilingual teaching (with emphasis in Mandarin in the primary years)
- Through-train school
- Students take both IGCSE & the IB in high school
- Recent average IB exam score is 35 (year 12)
- There is no ranking in the school, to avoid the competitive mentality. Are the parent-teacher meetings sufficient to motivate and help kids achieve desirable results in public exams?
FIS
- English teaching with French and very little Mandarin
- Through-train school
- Students take both IGCSE & the IB in high school
- Recent average IB exam score is 35 (year 12)
- Kids receive minimum Mandarin exposure. Here in HK, can they still achieve a level of fluency in Mandarin (Read and understand the news, write comments about a news topic, for example) via outside, supplementary Mandarin classes, both from FIS (Extracurricular class) and outside help?
I have heard good and not so positive comments about both schools, but they are never compared on the same page. Any constructive thoughts and experiences sharing are welcome. Thank you!
