My daughter is in KCIS K1.  She enjoys going to school very much.  I found that the teacher is very caring too.  She starts to sing Mandarin songs at home (we don't speak any Mandarin at home) and I'm very impressed.

返左1個幾月KCIS
我女真係開始講多左英文(同工人)
雖然仲唔係好好, 但都有明顯既進步

學校方面, 我都唔係好知佢返學做左咩
老師寫既英文我又唔係好睇得明(好了)
不過, 我女話我知佢係開心的.
而我女個班 (KG1) 係有相UPDOAD係WEB到的, (KG2唔知點解無)
多多少少都睇到佢返學做咩

同埋我女識左3個朋友仔....(佢只講到3個同學仔名)

There is no huge difference between KCIS and other IS in terms of teaching method and teacher’s quality.

School successfully trains kids to be independent.  Don’t think teacher is not caring if teacher don’t call you and give you a report every day.  Parent can make use of the blue book to communicate with class teacher.  I got response in the past.  This way doesn’t work unless one couldn’t communicate well in English with class teacher.

School provides balanced education based on British National Curriculum but not only focuses on Mandarin or English.  If one’s expectation is not match up, it’s worth thinking twice before admission.

I think if u just consider English as the sole criteria for choosing is.  You can  consider putting your kid to local English primary school as alternative

Depend on what you are looking for. I have my son study in KCS till end of K2, and transferred him to KCIS this year (P1=local K3). So far I am quite pleased, as my son's mandarin doesn't deteriorate (we are mandanrin speaking family), but his English has improved a lot. Of course the problem with KCIS is mostly the facility, but the fee is low compared with other schools. In my view KCIS offered me a balance between Mandarin and English, between too much homework and no homework. Students are encouraged to be disciplined, which suits my son very well.

For KCS, my expereince is that it's very organized (probably more organized than KCIS in a way), so you don't really feel the chaos of 35-40kids/class. The learning is activity based, but the level of activity lies in the class teacher. My son is very blessed to have a passionate class teacher. However, considering the homework load and the amount of English exposure, we tranferred him to KCIS.

I just transfer from KCS am to KCIS, in my opinion, don't change.  I really like KCS more than KCIS, you can use those $ to find better english class, 100% you can learn more than you study in KCIS, also, you don't have mandarin anymore, or I should says just simple mandarin should will learn.

請問各位知道下午班幾點上堂嗎？2：00才到會不會count as遲到呢？因為我聽講1：30-2：00是collaborative time，以我們讀蘇浙幼兒班的經驗，是小朋友在課室自己玩得齊人，而面試當天眼見2：00國際班的小朋友好似也未正式上堂。請下午班家長指教下。

I was offered a pm seat last Friday. Still 15/16 whether to take it as my girl is studying in a caring kinder (just one month, so I am not quite sure how caring it is, but it is well known for its caring and P1 allocation). The beauty of international education is obvious and the cons also - financial and Chinese. We plan to send our kids back to Canada in secondary 1, or 3, thus my family all suggested me to stay in local school, and save the money for future use. It made no difference if they will study aboard eventually. However, the P1 game already driven me crazy. I can't imagine parents nowadays are so well planned, though they put their kids in local kinders, they joined outside English classes three times a week, music class, drama, sports, competing in different games for cert, exam etc. my girl likes to observe and studied at her own pace. She is definitely not those interview lovables. Sigh, our education system.

Kcs 二個班主任加一個助教對39-40個學生，所以老師們都好忙。so far 都冇聯絡我地 ...

KCIS就1個老師+1個ASSISTANT

但就一定唔夠係N班時開心
始終班同學仔都識左1年......
我尋日問我女, 佢話佢鍾意舊學校
希望遲D會改變啦...
