NUS High School of Mathematics and Science (Diploma)

Atan:

We feel that one unique feature of NUSH curriculum is the avail of elective and enrichment modules.

Pls adv if it's a norm for students to take up these extra modules if eligible and if the electives are considered for credits towards the diploma.
Based on the info on subjects each year, the workload seems to be pretty heavy, esp from Y3. Pls adv what is normal school life like for NUSH students since there does not seem to be a lot f emphasis on CCA. What about leadership and other holistic / fun activities avail at the school. The info on the sch website is rather limited so it will be great to hear from current student/parents.

Thanks again !!!

A typical week will be 2 days (CCA days) till 6 pm and the rest between 3 pm to 5 pm if you opt for all electives & enrichments (I think max is 2 as your time table will be very full) for Year 1 & 2. And if you take MO, half of Saturday will be \"burned\" too.

Starting from this year in Year 3, DS1 stays back till 6 pm almost every day. So best is you find time between breaks to catch up with your homewrok so that by the time you reach home, you can have your rest. But of course if you do not opt for any electives or enrichments, you are \"free\" after 1 pm except for CCA days

My DS doesn't know what kind of career he wants to pursue yet :scratchhead:, unlike some kids who already have some kind of direction.

It is a hard choice and we have been considering since receiving CO and attended the impressive preview at NUSH. On the other hand, HCI has been his dream school (being fm a SAP sch) before NUSH came into the picture. Its like 鱼与熊掌,新欢与旧爱, cant have both.

I guess the choice is more difficult if the child is an all rounder who is good in both math & sciences, and languages.

Let your son decide. If he can't decide, toss a coin in the air, heads for NUSH, tails for HCI, and while the coin is still in the air, he will hope the coin lands on a particular side, that's the school he really wants

As a parent (IMHO and without prejudice ), I think you are in a position to influence (unless you are not sure yourself) that choice based on what you think the child potential lies, the opportunity ahead for him/her.

heard there are NUS High pupils who got admitted into Law faculty, NUS university.



anyone know how many got admitted into Law, past 3 years trend (2013, 2012, 2011 ) ?

what subject combination(s) did these NUS High pupils take in Year (5 and 6) ?

Class of 2008 - At least 1
Class of 2009 - ?
Class of 2010 - At least 3
Class of 2011 - At least 2

No particular subject combination; just need a good CAP. It was about 4.2 cut-off a few years back.
