My son is going to P1 in 2015.


I have 3 schools to consider....Pei Chun (phase 2A2), St Andrew's (phase 2A1) and Maris Stella(phase 2C<1km).

Can anyone advise me on thes schools in terms of sch environment, teachers and maybe standard?
Thanks.

My eldest son is born in 2008. I am seriously considering to shift to Pasir Ris by mid 2014 and considering White Sands Primary or Pasir Ris Primary. Hopefully we can find a place within 1km as we did not do PV. In your opinion, which one should I put as first choice? I have heard good reviews about Pasir Ris, and also seen that White Sands standards seem to be above Pasir Ris Primary.

Neither. Only the secondary school, ACS Independent is independent.

Thanks.

Hi if I m you , my choice will be either Pei Chun or Maris Stella. Will not choose St. Andrew. Result wise , both performed better than St Andrew and they are SAP schools.For MS , there is affiliation to the secondary school (SAP )which is better than St Andrew secondary. The cut off points without affiliation for MS is higher than SA which also offer N level. So the students are more rowdy as compared to MS . Furthermore , it is more convenient to travel to MS with a MRT Station next to it sheltered to the school.

You might want to raise your question in the primary school threads for ACS Primary and ACS Junior to see if anyone there can answer your question on the difference between the two primary schools.

ACS Primary is the more popular one (tough balloting) and seems to have produced some spectacular students... English spelling bee champs and even champs in Chinese story-telling (saw a story in Popular bkshop's magazine)! :yikes:
