I have the same experience.... My son have been studying in IS since nursery, when he was planning to Grade 1, my relatives also said why didnt he try the famous local school as my son was very smart. I did not say much, I only said I planned to send him to study abroad sooner or later, so IS is a good choice for him and most importantly he is type of active child, so it is not easy for him to adopt the local school life. My son is doing very well in IS, always the top 3 in the class, and his English standard is 3 level higher than his current level. Although his chinese is not as good as some of the local students, he still can read and write simplified chinese, and his spoken mandarin is much better than many many chinese students. Just do whatever you think it is good for your kid, other people will never understand and it is not necessary for you to explain. Who knows more than a parent do??? |

Dear Barnie, My mother said the same speech when we "drink tea" this afternoon. Quote:"my relatives also said why didnt he try the famous local school as my son was very smart." |

HI Barnie, Do you mind telling me where does your kid learn his Chinese? Is it from his IS school? If so, which school is it? Does he need to take extra Chinese class after school? YOur advise will be greatly appreciated! |

My son studied in CAIS since K3 until Grade 5 and since 2006 we have shifted him to another IS as we have left HK. We did hire private tutor for him, only once a week for 1 hour, just want to help him out as our Mandarin is not good enough to teach him.

barnie, Do you mind telling me more about CAIS? My kid has been accepted by CAIS and I was originally planning to let her study in their K3, however, many people around me advising me not to join this school considering the discipline of their students. I am so puzzled now and don't know how to decide. SInce your son studied in CAIS since K3 to G5, I would be really appreciated your comment on this school so that I can make up my mind. Thank you so much in advance, I really need help from the parent of CAIS. |

Who said CAIS is not a good school ? |

Honestly speaking, discipline in CAIS and other IS is more strict during these years, I dont understand why people always say IS students are non-disciplinary, as far as I know CAIS students are well disciplined and polite, I cannot say 100% but majority of them are disciplined. Do you think all local schools students are well disciplined?? I saw lots of the kids reading books while queuing up for the school bus, I like the school's attitude of encouraging kids reading books every day. My son started reading books by himself since K3, and he enjoys reading books whenever he has free time at home and school. No school is perfect, and I wonder why your friends said those comments to you. But I can tell you, if we return to Hong Kong, my son will definitely study in CAIS again, and this is my son's request. |
