Snowy116, for her 1st year this year, my dc is very happy in NUS High. She scored well enough to go to any top school of her choice but chose NUS High. No regrets so far. School indeed has many maths & science enthusiasts some who are really gifted. However, there are also several activities and enrichment classes for those kids interested in languages. Due to the small no. of pupils, resources are aplenty and school is very supportive of the kids in pursuing their interests, both academic and outside academic. CCA is relaxed and fun. Well, this is so far our experience for year 1, hopefully, year 2 will be equally enjoyable.


PS: in terms of hours, school starts at 7.40am, dc had 3 days of school which ended at 5/6pm, 1 day at noon and the last at 2pm. But there are break time in between.

Hi Snowy116,
At the School Preview, we were told by the seniors that the students do not need to go for enrichment classes/tuition. Is that true? From the booklist, i noticed only 2 sciences will be taught, Biology & Physics. What about Chemistry? Which year? Tks

Students generally do not go for enrichment/tuition classes. To be honest, it is difficult to find a suitable tuition class for NUSH students. We may be learning JC Physics material in Year 3, and then learning O level content in Year 4. Teachers provide consultation for students who need them after classes, both upon request or when the teacher deem that the student needs extra help.


Regarding sciences, all sciences will be taught every year. The fact that only textbooks for some subjects are in the book list is because that there is no recommended text for the other subjects. Teachers will teach according to lecture notes given out during lessons. Textbooks are supposed to be read by students at home, though occasionally there are some assignments or exercises that are to be referred to the textbooks.

I think they are looking into the marks the child has scored in P4, p5, and P6.
Got mail only yesterday. Still have two more days to go. You will receive on Thursday or Friday.

Those who are offered CO will also get another school offer place based on S1 ? If so, they will have to reject?

Add on to piggybank’s, when do we need to reject?
