River Valley High School [*IP]

Dear daisyt,
Wah, a class is quite a lot huh?
But if these "drop-outs" are allowed to stay in RV to complete their A "level", then it is still ok lah. At the end of the day, as long as they do well in their A "level", they can still go to the University.
So after all, it is worthwhile to catch the IP train. -
Hi dad of the bride, one class is it a lot? Hhhmmm …
I am not sure if they are still continuing in RV for "A".
During dd’s time to decide about IP, after asking around for opinions, what made us decide on IP was not the skipping of "O", its more on the teaching methods and style of learning. -
i heard there is about 15 in the o lvl class

OIC. Btw rosecy new member, first time c u here. :lol: -
Class of about 15 is a small group. The school principal and teachers should motivate and encourage these students so that they dont feel ostracized.
-
well if the kids have lost interest in their studies, not much the school can do even with the best teachers to take that class.
guess probably thats why they ended there n didnt do well for o lvl as well.
cant imagine how a PSLE 250+ can end up with such poor o lvl....sigh

Perhaps it is best for students who have difficulty coping in an IP school to transfer to a mainstream school as early as possible. By year 2 or end of year 2, parents should be able to gauge if their kids are coping or not.
A IP school will have most of their best resources dedicated to the IP program. It is demoralising to be one of the 15 kids in a cohort of a few hundred. Unlike a mainstream school where the O level fever and motivation and push is felt by entire cohort, it would seem like you are on your own when most of your friends are skipping the exams. -

From what I know, there is one 'O' level class. In DHS, also the same.
All ACSi, Nanyang Girls, HCI have one O level class each. My friend's son was from GEP, went on to that IB boy's school then dropped to Express in Sec 4. Principal wanted him to get below 10 pts below he can join back the IB program. He got 11 and was rejected. He's applying for other JC now. I guess each school has their own criteria for the O level class to continue their IP journey. -
