Between Anfield, Kingston and YMCA TST, which one will you choose?

2Kidz

My child went to Anfield and really loved it. I did not choose for Kingston as it was too expensive and I found the campus/ classroom too small.

I do not know YMCA kindergarten.

If you like your child to get bilingual ( 50% English and 50% Mandarin) education and you can afford it then I would suggest you to go to Kingston.

But if you would like your child to become fluent in English and get some Mandarin then Anfield would be a very good option.

Hi vnnop,

If, regarding your personal feelings, you have already had a quite of bad experience with Anfield, why do you still consider Anfield?

Or are you just trying to get extra reasons from the other parents to reject this school?
I personally think that you may not/ cannot be really objective anymore regarding this school. Just like a self fulfilling prophecy.   

I think every school has their pros and cons and especially regarding the teachers, they make or break the schools reputation. It really depends on the kid as well, if they like the teachers or not.

So, I think it would be better to gain more information on and get toknow the teachers of your kid more before you make any judgement on thewhole school. Because the things you have mentioned about teachers willand can occur at every kind of school in HK or over the world.

Let's take for example another school - Victoria - which has a very good 'reputation' and 'name' in HK. The teachers my daughter had when she was there were very cool and distant. Which made me decide to quit this school. Even though the campus was very clean, new and the teachers were native speaking. My daughter copied their distant and cool behaviour after a while and did not really like to go to school much.

When she was at Anfield K1 last year at the Kowloon Tong campus she loved it because of her teachers. Even thoughit is an old campus and the toys etc were old. The main thing was her teachers were really great - Ms Angie, later Ms Maxineand Ms Perry. She has never been to Mr Roberts class

You did not say which campus of Anfield you were consdering. For you information, I do not know the Whampoa campus. But the Kowloon Tong campus is moved to a new site now. So everything will be new and clean when they start this summer. It  depends of course a lot on your own personal feelings when you take a guid tour at the school.

To be honest, I personally think that you will not choose for Anfield at all. ;)  I wish you good luck in choosing a school for your kid.

We fully understand your feelings as we have been through this process too ;)

Nobody's perfect as there is no 'the one' best school either.

Try not to stress too much .. you can only do your very best which youare doing already. Try to enjoy the process and trust your own personalfeelings when you make your choice. I hope I did not sound too harsh inthe former reply :p

Good luck! I am curious which school you will choose in the end ;)
