    Lightbulb Victoria Kindergarten Bilingual stream English level

    Does any one have experience with the bilingual stream (Mandarin + English) of the Victoria Kindergarten, Harbour Heights campus? Are kids able to speak English with native accent after K2? Thanks!

    What do you define as native - British English? In any case I highly doubt it.

    Any child not living in their home country will develop an accent other than that of their home country. Mine now speaks with a slight American Irish style twang on some sounds, after 6 years in the UK. As long as they are speaking clearly and without that horrible lazy croak many seem to be developing, I wouldn't worry.
