Learning a foreign language is not easy. It takes so much effort and determination. Though as locals, we start learning English since Kindergarten, for some it still poses a huge challenge for most people here in Hong Kong. Places like this give you a second chance and to remind you that it is never too late to learn. Local schools here rely heavily on teaching the terminologies and grammar items like Gerunds and Infinitives, it seems to have missed the most crucial part - communication. One may be very good at writing and reading in English and yet they cannot utter an English sentence without stuttering. However, what impresses me the most is that the approach this place takes focuses heavily on listening and speaking. Instead of giving you a text to read, it first shows you a clip so that you have to rely on your listening skills; later on learning how to read the new vocabularies; and then you can finally see how the word looks like. It also has quite a few activities (social clubs they call) for you to enjoy yourself while practicing English with your friends and teachers. It strives to create a relaxing and care-free environment so that you can feel free to speak in English with confidence instead of embarrassment. Even though I now no longer work there, I have to say that their pedagogy and ideology are very well-thought. Together with your motivation and determination, mastering English is not really that difficult.

Gigamind English Primary School was established in 2001. It is a private whole-day school located…read morein Tin Shui Wai, nearby Kingswood Villa, Maywood Court. Gigamind is the very first whole-day English private school in Tin Shui Wai. Gigamind is a bi-lingual (English/Mandarin) Christian school with child-centred interactive programs. Gigamind also has a Christian based kindergarten and the location is right next to the Primary school. I have all 3 children going to Gigamind as we don't want them to travel to Kowloon to get quality English/Mandarin education aiming to stimulate the development of children's "Multiple Intelligences" through pedagogically sound teaching methods. There is not any international primary school in this area of New Territories. You need to travel to Shatin for EFS or Gold Coast and pay $5M debenture for Harrow International. For those who don't want to send your kids to local schools. Gigamind is a good alternative in the local community. The tuition fee (Primary 1 to 6) is HK$57,310 per annum for 2012-2013 academic year, payable in 11 installments of HK$5,210 each. Miscellaneous charges (for library services and other utilities) are HK$1,800 per term, to be paid in September and February. Additional fees for school bus service, lunch orders, uniforms and field trip expense will be charged where applicable.

We had a great time visiting Baumhaus while visiting family in Hong Kong!…read more If you've got a toddler in a big city, you know it can be a tough and overwhelming environment. We were so grateful for the oasis provided by Baumhaus - it's truly so wonderful to have somewhere to go where your little one can just be themselves in a safe and enriching environment. All of the staff were incredibly kind and sweet with my daughter and our drinks & food at the cafe were delicious. I wish were local so that we could visit more often. 10/10!

I've seen ads for this playgroup around town for a couple months and I finally have attended their…read moreclasses. I wish I had sooner! This center for young children ages 0 - 7, is one of the best musical playgroup centers that I have attended with my son. First, Using the Kindermusick Method, the children are learning complex musical ideas in a easy going way. But, Secondly, what makes them different from other musical centers is that their instructors can REALLY sing, REALLY well. I see that my son and his classmates are more tuned in when they have an instructor that has a beautiful voice. The children are that much more engaged and I myself, as a parent, really appreciate the class. Thirdly, the play area is very nice and well thought out. The jungle-gym reminds me of the Waldorf educational method which promotes an environment with an emphasis on natural materials. This would mean that the gym would lack bright colors like most other playgrounds, but the unique structure is still aesthetically pleasing, very safe, challenging but achievable, and my son loves to play in and out of it. Fourth, they have a cafe area where you can order a cup of coffee and snacks while your child plays or has class. GREAT IDEA. Do they have wifi for your computer? I'm not sure, but I did see some mom's with their laptops out. Secondly, we celebrated my son's birthday with his friends at Baumhaus. We ended up paying about 4400 HKD for 2 hours of time - 1hour was a kindermusick class. (Again, the class: so fun!) We also had 900$ credit to use at the cafe. You are free to bring your own food as well. We brought cakes, cookies, and 2 other small main dishes. I believe that our 2 hours became more like 2.5 hours but I appreciate that they were really patient with us as we wrapped up. I would definitely celebrate here again.

I will never forget my days here which is why I am very excited to write a review for this school. Obviously I am a little biased since I attended this school. But honestly speaking, it isn't considered one of the best international schools in Hong Kong for nothing. It is now even harder to get in than it was when I attended. It's crazy how the mothers I meet in Hong Kong go through so much to send their kids to the best schools. It's almost like survival of the fittest and who wins mother of the club award is the queen b of their children's school. Super competitive, its crazy! I have nothing but good things to say about GSIS. The teachers are exceptional. Every single teacher I had, pushed me to learn the best I could. All the classes, subjects, and facilities provided by the school were top notch and implemented with the best intentions to provide the best learning environment for the students here. There is an English stream and a German Stream. This means that students who were in the English stream are mainly English students who learned German and classes were taught in English. The German stream students were taught in German and had English classes. I was obviously put in the English stream so I had to take mandatory German classes. After school activities were very vast. Students could learn anything from chess, to ballet, to jazz dancing to tennis. There was a wide spectrum for students to gravitate what interested them and learn whatever they wanted after school. Elementary school was from 7.45 - 12.30 PM and after school activities were offered at 2PM. Many of my friends who continued in secondary school at GSIS ended up graduating from Ivy leagues. That speaks for itself.

There I had my happy childhood. I got up early for mass in the small chapel. I remember how much I concentrated in bible lessons. I always listened to bible stories with my mouth opened. I enjoyed fathers ( father Lu & father Yam) came to visit us because we knew we would have ice cream or some goodies. My mother was admired by neighbors because we, her five children got accepted to study in this nice elementary school. Mom is 88 years old now. When she talked about this, she is proud of us. Every year I visited Hong Kong, I had an urge to see Saint Mary statute in the playground with flowers around her. I remember how we prayed to her in May. I wish....
