Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) / 問與答
What grade should my child enroll in? / 我的孩子該去哪一個年級?
First, each grade has a minimum age requirement.
Second, the students will be assigned to the grade that best suits his Chinese level.
For students that can speak Mandarin but can’t read Chinese characters, they should enroll in either the Intro grade or the 1st grade, depending on whether they have learned Bopomofo or not.
For students that can both speak Mandarin and read Chinese characters, they will be assigned based on the results of the placement test. Please contact the academic director (pcs.staff.academic@gmail.com) for details.
首先，每個年級都有最低年齡限制。
其次，學校將依據學生的中文程度，分配學生到最適合的班級。
會說中文但是不能認國字的學生，應該要進注音班或是一冊班，依據學生是否已經學過注音符號。
會說中文又能認國字的學生，將依據檢定考試的結果來分發，細節請聯絡教務(pcs.staff.academic@gmail.com)。
My children are 8 and 10 years old, would they be too old? / 我的孩子一個八歲一個十歲，去中文學校會不會年紀太大?
It depends. If their Chinese levels are not high enough, they will be assigned to classes with younger classmates. The students will need to adapt to the curriculum that are designed for younger kids. If they learn very well and are willing to study the next grade material at home over the summer. They can skip the next grade and go to the grade beyond it next year (after placement test)
不一定。 如果學生的中文程度偏低，他們會被分配到平均年齡較低的班級，學生必須要能適應為年紀較小學生設計的課程。如果他們學習良好而且願意在暑假自修課程的話，他們明年可以在通過檢定考試後，跳過次一年級而進入更高年級。。
We predominantly speak Cantonese at home, but the kids have a basic understanding of Mandarin. Will that be an issue? / 我們主要的語言是粵語，但我家孩子聽得懂基本的普通話，這樣學中文會造成問題嗎?
As long as someone at home can practice Mandarin with the students and guide them through the homework with Chinese characters, it won’t be a big issue. We have quite several students from Cantonese speaking families that learn very well in our schools, even better than their native-Mandarin-speaking classmates. Support from the parents will be especially important in this case.
只要家中有人能夠跟學生練習普通話及帶領學生寫中文作業，這不會是個大問題。學校裡有裡好幾個學生家裡說廣東話，可以中文學得比家裡說普通話的學生還好。家長的支持對於這些學生而言會額外重要。
What age groups do you cater to? / 你們接受什麼年紀的學生？
We offer classes for K-12 students..
我們為幼稚園到高四的學生提供課程。
What are the class sizes? / 請問班級多寡?
Our class sizes are small (5-12) to ensure personalized attention and effective learning.
我們是採小班制教學(5-12人)，這樣老師能專注關心學生的學習狀態和成效

If we are transferring from a different school, how do we find the correct grade in this school? 轉學生要怎麼選擇班級就讀？
Transferring students will first need to read the textbooks used by our school to estimate their suitable grade levels. Then they need to take the placement test to confirm their levels. Please contact the academic director (pcs.staff.academic@gmail.com) for details.
轉學生必須先看過學校所使用的課本，估計自己適合的程度，然後參加檢定考試確認程度。細節請聯絡教務(pcs.staff.academic@gmail.com)。
