[quote=\"verykiasu2010\"]for NYPS girls to get into NYGH under affiliation scheme, the minimum T-score must be 250 and above


To maintain the affiliation is to help continue the culture and values of the Nanyang family of schools.

NYGH was founded as a non-government school which became a government aided school, part of the funding is from donors, they have their board of governors while RGS / RI is a purely government school

RGS, RI, NYGH, HCI are all independent schools. NJC, DHS, RVHS are government aided.

Are the fees in RGS, RI, HCI & NYGH the same ?[/quote]RGS and RI are higher. FOr HCI/ NYGH its 200, for RI/RGS its 300

Principals are appointed by MOE, not by board of governors

To some extent, I guess. But some schools who have their own Board of Governors, eg, like the CHIJ Board which governs all CHIJ schools in Singapore, the Principals are both selected by the Board (maybe recommended by MOE) and both parties agree before the Principal can be appointed.

Please also note that the school fees are not fixed for the independent IP schools over the 6 years. There are some tiers. For some, Sec 1 /2 belong to 1 tier, Sec 3/4 2nd tier and JC1/2, 3rd tier.


And EESIS now covers only $2400 /year, meaning you have to fork out extra if your school fees exceed this.

That’s why, from what I know, there are students, able to get in HCI but choosen government IP school because of fees issue.

I’ve heard some parents with children in IP schools said that teachers in IP schools do not teach much. One even said it is because teachers see the students in IP schools as ‘higher calibre’, so they are expected to get what was taught in a short time. Most of the learning were left to the students themselves.

Is this true? Do the students feel helpless?

Most students in IP schools are able to cope well with different teaching style, which requires more independent learning. From what I see, the teachers do teach, even though they may seem to be \"facilitating\" discussions rather than \"teaching\".

During the teacher-parents meeting. One teacher mentioned that their teaching method instill a lot on critical thinking and investigating work. Could be quite different from other sec school where some may focus on teaching students how to pass exams.
