NUS High School of Mathematics and Science (Diploma)

You sell your school’s notes just like a thief. Think of it before you do. No moral!

Dagong99, may I ask if your DS1 has enjoyed his time in NUSH so far? Will MS kids have problem coping in the school?

Hello! I'm not dagong, but I thought that there's something that I can share.

I am one of those MS kids. I hadn't seen any issue specific to MS kids in my past few years.

To be more specific though, NUSH would be great for all that have the aptitude and attitude for maths and science. GEP selection, while it does consider analytical skills, also considers language skills in its assessment (some of us aren't really good in langauges :P). I feel (and I think the school feels too) that it is thus not a fair gauge of one's maths and science passion. We can also see that NUSH does not really favour GEP kids as opposed to MS kids in its selection process. The school believes that everyone selected has an equal potential to excel in NUSH, GEP or not.

Thank you so much for your feedback! It is a piece of helpful info!

Yes, DS1 who is from MS, definitely enjoys his school, though his weakest subjects are the languages.

The school does not differentiate the students between GEP & MS and in the advance years (year 3 & 4), they are grouped together based on their subject combinations.

One thing to highlight though, triple Science starts from year 1.

Hi,


Are they supposed to wear their own clothes for the preview session ?

Is the public carpark beside the school open? Noticed that it was closed due to some upgrading works previously.

Thanks!

The email mentioned casual and neat, so I suppose we can wear our own clothes and if it is still the same as previous years, the kids will be asked to change their \"top\" into the school formal wear with tie for photo taking (for making student pass).

The carpark is still closed, so you can park at Casa Clementi.

However, I think it will be a good idea to check with NUSHS if you can collect the DSA CO letter on your DD's behalf. Usually they are quite flexible and accomodating with it if there is a valid reason. Btw, good luck for your DD's prelims
