NUS High School of Mathematics and Science (Diploma)

Thanks, but after much consideration we are keeping to original posting. Because, besides scientific pursues, my ds is also keen in humanities. At this early stage of his education I think it is better to keep options open. It is inspiring to be young scientist or mathematician but he needs more time to develop other areas. Hope that some years later he will meet your kids the same in NUS or some other uni. He will take up IB, also a diploma, different in scope but has as good recognition as a NUS diploma. Just sharing a different point of view.

Dover vs Clementi, there is no distance consideration involved for us.

Unofficially (from inside source) the NUSH COP seems to be 256 this year …


Normally the COP is at least + 1 point above EESIS for mainstreamer.

Any existing NUSH Students/parents can advice is it beneficial to take HMTL ?

Welcome to the NUSH family!

@Snowy116
Passing O level HMTL exempts the student from taking Mother Tongue in Y5 and Y6. Otherwise, the student as to take A level MTL in Y5.

On the other hand, it may be slightly easier to earn CAP in MTL. But I’ll gladly take a mother tongue-less Y5.
