小學

KTS vs SFA

homework = SFA - 5/6 homework per day
                     KTS - more or less the same

Language = SFA - may be higher in standard in both PTH and ENG
                   KTS & SFA use the same PTH textbooks but ENG will be different

Secondary allocation = KTS may be better in Kowloon Tong net but SFA has better academic results can also be allocated to top 30 band 1 secondary schools in HK

 

其實學校多重視考生的性格, DBS 的學生多數是活躍主動獨立但又合群, 要教好這類學生, 要有大量學習資源, 因為他們的胃口是很大的, 悶起上來就會攪事, 所以, 有好多學校都唔敢收太多呢D學生

YW 跟 DBS 口味差唔多, 所以, 你見到有不少考生有兩間學校second in, 但林校長重家教和父母態度, 不論學校名氣, YW interview 應該比 DBS 難應付

YW 和 DBS 都無筆試, 它們不要由操練得來的"smart", 不要串英文宇, 不要講英文普通話, 要的是潛能

YW 林校長在second in 之中問 first in 時的校長室不同之地方, 需要小朋友對三維空間有長期記憶, 比串字要求層次更高; 而 DBS 是由電腦播一段故事, then 問有關故事問題, 要求考生聽一次就入腦,  actually, 老師

以後上堂都是只講一次, interview 時如果都catch up 唔到, 入來讀點跟呢?  

St. Paul Co-ed 要的是很乖的小朋友, 100% 跟老師

要求, 任何時候絕對聽話不攪另類, 所以, 很難有小朋友又有SPCC又有DBS/YW offer, 我識好多SPCC畢業的朋友, 不論男女多是溫文有禮, It's style!

SSCPS 要兩文三語加主動自信, 如果考生自信地回答問題, 中英普對答流暢, 應該會有offer, 同見 international school 要求差不多.

根據小兒就讀之幼稚園小學

推薦列表，ST.JOE是與DBS、英華、陳守仁、宣道、聖保羅男女中學附小、德望、高主教、聖保祿小學

部、培正等同列之BAND 1 小學

，德雅反而表上無名。

ST.JOE與SFA一樣出名程度深，只要讀得掂，成績名列前茅，轉去邊都得（當然也要看機緣巧合）！不過，如果能夠堅持在ST.JOE完成六年小學

，打好學業基礎，升上BAND 1英中則不用擔心適應問題，反而部份中文小學

優秀學生以BAND 1成績升上英中後則可能因適應不了教學語言轉變而出現成績下滑的情況，這可能是家長要擔心的！

睇過ST.JOE的課程簡介，其數學、常識科都系英語教學，中文用普通話教，一般副科用英文加廣東話教，課本則一律採用英文版；像宣道、英華之類受到熱捧的私立或直資小學

，除了英文科，都用中文課本，中文教學，同樣都系要交學費，但語言環境已經甚為輸蝕。睇睇宣道、英華與ST.JOE的學校網頁語言就知道分別了。
