Hello, GP in itself is an A-level subject, and since NUS High does not take A-level, it does not take GP. That being said, English at senior years (4~6) do follow the GP requirements broadly. You can expect that English standard will not be compromised due to being a maths and science school.

Students do not need a laptop per se, however it is greatly advantageous to have one. Having a laptop will help in things such as group projects, presentations, assignments, etc.

True for Maths & 3 Sciences, eg, for Maths, almost all schools, including IP schools, take 4 years to complete both E Maths & A Maths syllabus, at NUSH, it takes 3 years to complete the syllabus. At Year 4, students will be learning H2 (JC level) Maths topics.

How is Chinese taught in the school? Is HCL very difficult as compared to CL?

[dhokoh]

Oh dear! How does one cope if he doesn’t study HCL in primary school?

[shurley197323]

They use normal HCL textbook as others. My dd didnt take HCL during P6 but luckily she still can manage to pass in year 1 although it does push her overall scores down. What to do, have to force her to do extra revision as she also dislikes chinese. The only thing that i not comfortable that teacher dont give the list for spelling and they dont test accordingly to text book order although they teach accordingly to text book.

By the way, just to clarify a post I saw earlier, you don’t have to be interviewed to get CO or WL. I got a CO from NUS High but did not attend any interview, just the test and the camp

Does anyone know when the booklist will be given out?/Does anyone know what the booklist will comprise of? I’m keen to have an overview of how the topics will be taught.


Thanks!
