We finally received the letter from the school last night. My son was accepted for the main stream and put in waiting list in the international stream.
But we are still not very clear what are the differences between these two streams, except the international stream will be in all english. According to the briefing talk, the main stream will have two Maths books, one in English and one in Chinese. But the international will only have the English one. So, it seems that the main stream students will learn better in Maths than the international stream.
As both streams will use both English and Putongua, they are very similar indeed. But the school fee was more expensive in the international stream.

Thank you Oscarmon. I also prefer the international stream. However, my son didn't get in and was put in the waiting list. The school said we could call the school again in Jun 8 next year to find out whether they have the vacancy for the international stream.
I quite like this school.

I have a friend, she is teaching in 音小, she said if parents want their kids to develop well in musics, it may be a good choice. The school is very emphasized on musics. If the kids don't like musics much, it may not be appropriate.
祟真 is also a good primary school. As I lived very close to the 基祟中學, I always met some students from that school. They are not bad actually. Besides, the Academy is big. It may also be good that the students from 祟真 have high chance to be accepted by 基祟 for secondary education.
My daughter will have an interview for the main stream kindergarten. I wonder if my daughter is accepted, can we change or apply the K2 international stream next year?
I apply the main stream because I prefer a.m. class. The international stream only have p.m. for K2.
Maybe I shall not talk about the kindergarten issue under this topic!!
