每間學校安排上台演講的小朋友雖不是最好，但應該也不太差的。聽聞有些幼稚園如學之園可安排參觀一些小學，亦曾參觀蔡繼有，若能安排參觀其上課情況，可能家長們會更了解學生的水平。

我有去蔡繼有在天后廟道的簡介會，他們派上台負責朗誦的小一、二學生，均能以十分流利的英語或普通話表演，但令我覺得驚奇的，是他們的父母均是地道的香港人，平日多以廣東話與他們的小朋友溝通（這個我問該校的老師）。我覺得倘若 ...

TaoTaoma,

學校主力教英語及普通話，至於另一種自選語言，相信祇是興趣班的其中一科，可自費自行參與。

今年我帶我的小兒投考了多間私校及直資小學，每間每月學費都不同，由$2,XXX至$6,XXX不等。雖然至今大部份學校尚未有結果，但我覺得以保良局蔡繼有在下年的新校舍最為吸引，除了地點適宜外（大埔道/赫德傑道），又有室內恆溫泳池與 ...

I was also impressed by the language ability of the P1/P2 students in their briefing session. At that very momemt, I was very convinced that it would be a perfect school for our son who speaks native mandarin and is able communicate well in English at his age. However, we ended up not submitting an application to CKY for a number of reasons: cost (for what they claim to offer), location, incompatibility to local university admission requirements, among others.
Their secondary students will need to take two public exams at year 10 (a UK public exam equivalent to HKCEE - i think it is GCSE) and year 12 (IB exam). I talked to the principal (Mr Yip) in charge and was curious why they were having this kind of arrangement as everybody else will be taking one public exam starting from 2012. The IB exam alone is sufficient for university admission all over the world, even in the UK, as he indicated to me. But he was not able to give me a satisfactory explanation. He said it was a way to demonstrate the acheivements of their students - not a requirement for going to grade 11. Well, I think it may be possible that they will change the arrangement by the time our kids go to secondary schools. He also hinted that their Chinese language standard is not as high as local schools as the GCSE chinese language exam is lot easier than the HKCEE exam.
For the primary section, they mentioned that all subjects (except for PE, music, and art) will be taught by the two class teachers, sort of like the arrangement in kindergartens (Do they do the same in international schools?). I am not sure if we like this arrangement. It may be tough for a teacher to handle well on language, math, general studies all at the same time especially for the higher grades.

Kaifu, I think CKY is kind of following the UK system - similar to the previous (or existing) arrangements with some of British-based international schools in HK, eg, ESF. Why is it so? I guess it's due primarily to the backgrounds of the leaders - principals, and the historic reasons of the HK ed system.
Far as I know, IGCSE is 'optional', providing students a chance to use the exam results for further studies overseas BEFORE they opt to pursue IB in HK. One might compare it to those UK schools which do not give up GCE while going for IBD.
When you said "everybody else" taking one exam only from 2012 on, I guess you refer to those under the local system (NSS). But there are schools/students who still opt for IGCSE. As you may know, there are some who haven't put their full faith in IB.
As for your question on having just a couple of teachers teaching 'all' subjects. In fact, there aren't many subjects in primary. Some schools only have four subjects: Chinese, English, Maths and General Studies; in other words, they have at most four different teachers to teach them these core subjects. While for my kid's class, he has three teachers teaching him. Think it's fine and it's not uncommon for primary schools.
Nonetheless, I trust you have good reasons not to submit your application for your kid. Good luck.

This is perhaps a rather special phenomenon in Hong Kong that a number of new schools declare to adopt IB. Neither do they have any track record in running IB, nor even have any particular experience in providing 'traditional' curriculum. What they claim to offer 5-year primary and 6-year middle year is because their students are much more capable than others. If it is so, their students must have got the admission long before the school was established! First GCSE, then IB, but intentionally avoid HKCEE or HKAL or the new 334 exam. The only reason for this kind of arrangement is to show the parents, who aspire to this school, that this is not a local school for ordinary students but a talented school for 'guinea pig'.
I have no intention to hurt anybody, but it does, please accept my deep apology.

It may be a little harsh to describe the students there as guinea pigs. I believe CKY can prepare them well for univesity admission overseas, but not for local universities which reserve very limited places for non-JUPAS applicants. However, the financial implication of 12 years at CKY + 4 years of oversea university study can not be under-estimated.

每間學校定位不同，興幸現在選擇比以前的多，各取所需，毋”對”或”不對”。

反而，現在教育改革為334，以通識教學，與身邊的親戚朋友傾談時，他們大表無奈，無奈在於無所適從、無奈在於師資訓練不足、無奈在於仍然摸不透遊戲規則。十年前提倡的母語教學，弄到滿城風雨，今天終告失敗。未來的新學制，同一年會有兩屆的預科畢業生爭大學學位，說到底，大家都是guinea pig。

這篇報度比較全面，亦道出了新學制及IB的問題，僅供參考。

負責中大新聞與傳播學院非聯招學生入學事宜的馮應謙教授表示，高考課程是英國模式，較易被海外大學承認，但轉為「三三四」後，香港中學文憑考試的程度並不等同A Level或O Level，暫時未有一認可標準，IB則是一個國際認可的標準。

世界各地的教育制度都有不善之處，祇能根據個人不同的期望，物色各自理想學校喇。

蔡繼有是否行IB?
kyliema2006 | 2008-11-13 09:58
蔡繼有計劃Year 12考IBD，Year 10考IGCSE，這個方向一直都未曾改變。蔡繼有現時最高的一級是Year 8，但仍未正式為IBO成員，因為有關的maintenance fee高昂，為減輕負擔，會待明年/後年始作申請，應該2013年會有第一屆IBD畢業生。
