I pulled my younger son out from CCHM and into AHS

Anyway, both schools are bilingual. Have similar culture (esp in Chinese)
So it's up to the parents to decide where you want them to be. But as for CCA, AHS don't have much choices , unless your child got in thru DSA sports, then he/she will get what he/she wants.

Hi, any parents can advise how to improve on Chinese composition besides sending him for tuition. My Ds is too weak on compo moreover it’s HML, first time taking…

Hi parents of AHS, need some advice. DD in P6, AHS is in our list if she can make it. Like to understand if the school has a very strong Chinese culture and hence the students should be very strong in the language? Although my DD does HMT, she is still very "English" in her train of thots and formation of sentence so not sure if she can fit in well. Appreciate some advice. Thanks!

Hi,

My DS is currently in AHS Sec1. I would say the HMT in AHS is quite tough. The students have to read China History in Chinese. I almost died when I saw my ds China History textbook hahaha My son is not strong in CL. He was admitted into AHS base on his CL PSLE results, not HMT and has been doing badly in his HMT since beginning of the school year. I guess he will be put into non HMT class next year.

Hi,
Is your DS in Sec 1? I have given up on my DS's HMT, I'm prepared for him to be placed in standard CL next year.

Personally, I feel that CL tuition don't really help. To improve CL, the child must really read a lot, must put in effort to look up dictionary to improve Chinese vocab. A lot depends on the effort put in by the child in order to improve CL standard.

If the sch has very strong chinese culture, doesnt mean u need to be very strong in chinese lang...
But u mustnt dislike chinese lang so as to fit into the sch culture...
AHS is a SAP sec sch...but not all SAP schs req all students to take HMT...
It's best to check directly with the sch if AHS is one of yr child's choiced schs....

But is the 中国历史 comes under the examinable subj ?
Even in DHS, it is not under GPA computation...
