Title: Any feedback on Maris Stella Kindergarten


Any feedback on maris stella kindergarten? Will students from maris stella be able to cope well academically when they go into P1?

My daughter has been in MS since Nursery, she's in K2 now. From my observations, even though they've an excellent caring & loving teaching staff and beautiful spacious open environment, they seem to be lacking in the academic front.

My daughter has NEVER had any spelling tests or ting xie (even now, her 2nd month into K2), unlike her peers in other more academically driven pre-schools. Whether that's good/bad, is very subjective, I guess. My daughter really ENJOYS going to school though.

So, unfortunatley, that's my EXACT same concerns too! Wish someone can give me a definite answer...

Have been unsuccessfully trying to call their phone number (62515049) over the last week to enquire, but the number always seems to be engaged or it'll ring off! That in itself is pretty off-putting :?


What are the fees and Nursery class sessions like? Do they have a website? Cant seem to find one. Are they located next to Marymount Convent or IN the convent grounds itself, just next to Thomson Road?

Any comments on the Catholic Kindergarten at Flower Road (behind Kovan Melody)? Looks pretty good, but dont know of anyone who has been there before, so if anyone has any firsthand experience to share, that would be great!

How do u think these 3 schools compare? :?

- CHIJ OLN
- CHIJ OLGC
- Marymount Convent

Anyone care to offer a vote?
