Was language an issue why your sons didn't enjoy studying in LH? Did he understand English more than Cantonese at PN age? So he couldn't communicate well with other students and teachers?  I know LH is not really 'international' as most of the students are from local Cantonese speaking families.

Yes he prefers English over Cantonese but that was not the main reason behind it.
Even in English sessions he refused to do anything and just sit and did nothing.  He didn't talk to anyone (not even a yes or no) for many months.  And then the teachers started to punish him for 'not following orders' etc.  We could tell he lost lots of confidence last year.

As soon as we quit LH (we quit one month prior to the end of the school year) and brought him to try something else (ex: drama, ice skating, soccer, etc), his confidence started to come back.

In his new school, he was still a little hesitated in the first few days.  But he kept on gaining his confidence back and after a couple of weeks he is now expressing his ideas freely in school and communicating very well with the classmates and teachers again (which is 'back to normal' in a sense as he was like that when he was in playgroup (DMS Central) during his 6 months of playgroup time there).  We can tell he is a lot more confident now in talking (even in front of strangers) and making decisions and so on.  

Last year he was looking for excuse not to go to school.  This year he wants to go to school even on Saturdays and Sundays.  

I am sure if we force him to stay in LH, he would eventually adjust.  But it would also mean killing his confidence and creativity at the same time.

課程設計可以係open day 自己衡量，始終深同淺每人定義不同，因為pn開始派字咭，只係給予文字概念，但有部 ...

多謝你咁詳細既意見，ek難得有咁真誠既分享，聽落唔算谷，幾岩我要求，希望阿女考得入啦，因為都好大競爭。

我都會去open day, 但要3點先到，怕走馬看花，想問下康城站推bb車過去方便嗎?

我未去過康城校，我係海浼校，恕未能幫到你。
每年open day 都有很多活動供家長和小朋友參予，例如: Drama, 小手工，科學實驗，唱遊等同時老師會將教材展示即場回答家長疑問，所以如果時間少，最理想安排人帶小朋友參與活動，家長自己睇教材和詢問老師詳情。

第一次聽到有家長講學之園會破壞小朋友的自信心,不過我尊重其他家長的經驗.而我個小朋友讀咗四年學之園,建立得最好既就係佢既自信心.

有人辭官歸故里 ，有人漏夜趕科場。
只可說：「“學之園”與你無緣……」
我相信現在或過去的用家，大部份都不會覺得為自己小朋友揀錯這個“快樂園地”。
Have a good day everyone !!!

睇完好想親自感受，網頁沒有open day 資料啊！邊日係？

我仔k1 開始讀，而家返咗1個月左右，真心鍾意返學，我一放工就拉住我要做功課，睇學之園d 圖書。另外我仔乖咗好多，會自動執捨自己的物品，有規矩好多。純個人感受，大家作參考而已，最終適合與否要睇自己小朋友的性格。

當年小兒是一個怕羞仔， 慶幸考入了LHK， 四年𥚃見到他𣎴斷在進步。 LHK 未必適合所有小朋友／家長， 但她絕對是一間用心辦學的學校， 祝願有心人得賞所願加入學之園大家庭。

I believer most parents want the children to have happy childhood. However, the education system in HK makes parents and children crazy. If the ultimate goal is local school, children need to be well prepared and equipped for primary interviews, and certainly during the course they need to put much effort on "academic knowledge" and sacrifice play time. No parents want to see children "suffer" but this is the game here sadly and unfortunately. If the kindergarten do not prepare the children for primary, parents will then blame the school for lack of good "training" programme.  International school is another route and the children are much happier as they will not be so stressed and have greater degree of creativity. However, children in international kindy may not be well equipped or trained for the local primary. There are always pros and cons of different types of kindy. Afterall, it all depends on the child's characters and ultimate route of schooling (local vs international).

我唔係LH用家，不過上年報PN, 最後因為撞期冇去interview. 但神奇地，之後我收到學校寄嚟嘅waiting offer信。我打電話返去，佢哋話應該係因為interview 時number亂咗，佢哋會處理。而到上個月，我仍然收到學校嘅email，話抱歉waiting收唔到我囝，現在邀請我apply K1. 所以，大家去in時，睇清楚自己資料有冇被攪亂咗。
