      Heard that in HCI, students can be exempted from year end exam in those subjects they are good in.


      If they are exempted, does the school have any special programs for them while the rest sit for exams?

      No there isn't any special program. The school only released the exemption list quite late as perhaps they wanted the boys to carry on with the lessons. The boys just do not need to sit for that exam during that particular day.

      May I check if there is any chance of accelerating in any subject if good in that subject ? Thanks !

For year 3 onwards there are Talent Development Programme such and maths and Sciences, Humanities and Bi cultural programmes. These programmes should be more accelerated than the normal IP programme.

                My son is going too. He likes camps and good chance to know the sch better. Quite a few in his sch didn't bother going, prob decided on another sch. For us, one main draw f NUSH is No national exams and for HCI, is the holistic education n SAP environment. After PSLE, think of A level, really 怕怕。Do you think it could be less stress in NUSH (impression fm d preview) based on yr DS1 experience? Tia.

                ds likes camps too, furthermore is after PSLE liao. Just too bad he was not invited. 😉

                  No, not majority will get the exemptions. They must be consistent in their performance. ie scoring A1 for all the three terms.
