Things to Consider

What Parents Say
Real feedback collected from forums and social media
“學校氛圍好，老師對小朋友很有愛心。”
“升小去向不錯，不少入到好學校。”
“教學程度高咗好多，有要求，但小朋友超級鍾意返學，亦不自覺可以將學校教嘅嘢講返出嚟 同幾年前家姐嘅課程好唔同，好明顯有心設計過。相同嘅係，一樣熱愛上學，重有，茶點超好食。”
“小朋友好鍾意返學，大部分老師係關愛，課程內容有趣，茶點好，課程我覺得正常程度，k2開始寫字，到尾開始教寫自己個名，但有啲劵幼係要k3先開始寫字，所以如果你係要求高其實唔會考慮劵幼，希望幫到你。”
“同原本n比較 都算多學生outing/主題活動 一個月都有一次 我個班老師有心教 其他班唔知 茶點唔錯 可能係劵校關係 收生明顯見到有參差 有好醒 都有好無反應既 如果你aim 直/私就唔洗諗 學校教既會係基本 你要自己外補。”
“PC只係幼升小易升，小升中會篩走一堆人”
