Hi,

I recently withdrew my kid as the school has high turnover rate and the teachers standards in terms of caring for the kids as dropping terribly. I was happy last few yrs I was in the school til recently. The situation there seems to be getting from bad to worse. My last straw was I was shocked to know that my kid was lost sight of the teacher in charge during their outdoor activities. I got to know about the whole incident from another parent whose kid is among the group of children lost. When confronted with the school principal, everything was denied.

If you talk about preparing yr kid for P1, my advice is negative. Only after I decided to withdrew my kid, I was shocked to learn that the teachers are to write their own lesson plans themselves and its not given by in any ways by Etonhouse or whatsoever. Wat the teachers wanna teach greatly depends on the ability to know wat to teach. Since the opening of the school, there is no enrichment class at all. So can you imagine what kinda standard will yr child be comparing to others.

The principal even once sneered at me as kiasu when I went to fetch my child earlier for his enrichment class.

I m not sure I m being too extreme but this is my experience about the school.

Hi Parents,


Anyone has their child enrolled in N1 currently? I have been offered a spot after being on the waitlist for nearly a year but am hearing mixed reviews? My major concern will be the staff turnover rate as I feel it is unhealthy for children to keep changing teachers and the curriculum and the level of care provided…

My kids are in PN and N2, so far, their teachers are the same teachers from start till now, my kid in PN do have a new teacher but is additional to the existing ones.. So far my experiences is positive with the teachers there.. Is there any discussion threads for existing parents? Mind to share the link? Thanks!

Hi hi,


How do you find the quality of teachers? I saw a few of their teachers and thought they look pretty young. Are they indeed trained by Eton?

[watermum]

Breez, so far i think they are pretty decent and committed, and yes most teachers are very young… My kids adore their teachers and like going to school, so on this i have no complains, cos i am working mum. Academic wise, they are pretty relax as their is learn through play type of teaching.


I didn’t really ask about training by Eton thing, sorry, can’t help on this.

Thanks for the information. Anyway no vacancy. So I am not considering anymore.
