JonC:

Just went to their website.


Need to go for admission test right?

How is the fee?

Wow! Just checked the website. the fee is $4500+GST per term for sec 1 to 4. JC1 & 2 is $5100+GST per term.

I drive pass their building everyday while sending my DS to HCI. from outside, the building looks very nice. Better than HCI I must say. May b bcos of the fee they charge?

For HC International - Secondary School


Officially on website, $19260 (include GST) per year or $4815 (include GST) per term or $1605 (include GST) per month.

From the same website, it seems that 2010 will still stay at $17334 (include GST).

Wondering if going to this type of International School still need to go private tuition or not?

How is the fee compared to Australian International School?

Do students of HC International takes also GCE ‘O’ Level?

It result very good, can still join back to mainstream good JC?

170+ really can get in? Based on results or on admission test or "connections"?

If I am not wrong, it is a 6 years IP program. No 'O' levels.

Not sure how my DS's friend gets in. My DS just met him at the school canteen weeks ago and that was how we knew he is in HC international. One thing for sure is he got 170+ ~ 180 for his PSLE.

My nephew went to HC Intl sch for 1 yr (sec 1 in 2009). Somehow his mum thinks it is not good for his character development (they are christians, he scored around 180). At end of sec 1, she wanted to transfer him out to CTSS. The principal refused to meet her. In the end, based on connection, managed to see the principal but because the principal is posted to another SS, can’t offer him in CTSS, he ended up in PHS (joins 5 yr normal acad) in YCK.

..

it's the same as students in govt missionary schools loh.
not all teachers are Christians anyway.
.

I'm quite sure all the teachers in the Sanyu adventist school are all Adventists.

ighbour Secondary Teachers that Normal Stream Teenagers are Rowdy /Terror.... Police always come to their school to gather information....

Anybody know whether Assumption Pathlight and Northlight are the students well behave?

Private school I calculated the fees will be about SGD100k :shock: for 4 years of Secondary....
And 70% of them are from Overseas lie Malaysia/Vietnam/Thailand....
Also wonders are these International Students well behave...
:

Actually in private schools, some students can be rowdy too. I was from a private christian school in pri/sec. It depends on how your child would handle being in that type of study environment. Some of the teachers can b v good. I had v good trs. Me & several of my classmates went to rather good JCs after our O-levels, like NYJC, AJC, HCJC(best during that time), RJC, VJC.

Don't know based on what, but one of my ds1's schoolmates from p6(chs) last year got below 200 definitely and is in HC intl. This boy's parent's name is on the donor board in our school. Not sure if it is in HC too.

[quote=\"jtoh\"]Yes, SJI(International) stipulates minimum PSLE score of 220.

but my DS's friend score was 170+ and he is in Hwa Chong International sec 1 now. You should just call the schools to find out.

Thank you for your information...will check with HCI next year.... :lol:[/quote]Don't call HCI, call HCIS. HCI won't have a clue and they will redirect you to quite a number of different places.
