Welcome to Canada, and in particular, to Vancouver.
How old is your kid? And where are you from? A really important thing to keep in mind is that the education philosophy here in Canada is vastly different from that in Asia (and in particular, completely different from HK). The thing to keep in mind is, education here focuses more of overall development and self exploration as opposed to the spoon-fed, info crammed down your throat type of education people are used to. The definition of success in education is not how many A's or B's your child gets at the end of the term. It is whether your child's horizons has been expanded and if his interests has been fostered.
Language and mathematics skills are definitely important, but so are numerous other aspects of your child's growth.
