hi, i have read through the thread, i have a few questions and hope that parents with dc in the school could advise :


1) i think most of the dc given CO by nus high usually will also have CO given by the other sought after schools such as ri/rgs, hci/nygh etc, are you and dc happy with the choice that you have chosen, if you have to choose again, will you choose the same? what do you and dc like about the school?

2) it seems that the language programmes in the school when it first started out was not very stable (which is alright in my opinion as all new schools and new programs will have something to iron out in the beginning, most important is that the curriculum continue to change for the better), now that the school is ten years old, have the programmes improved?

thanks!

This thread has gone very quiet. You could please pm me if you have any advice to my previous questions. Thanks!

HI , may I know do NUSH students need / take up tuitions? Should I just let my child learn from the school teacher ( year 1) ? Does teacher give extra coaching to individual student if he/ she can't cope?Thanks

Teachers do give extra coaching to individuals as and when necessary.

Most tuitions take up by NUSH students, if at all, are mother tongue I think. A few do take up maths/science tuition, but they usually need to take tuition that are a level or two higher.

Except for mother tongue, I doubt there are any group tuitions available for the other subjects. If you really need tuition for your child, you will need to look for individual tutor who will teach the particular topic that need revision or extra coaching.

My boys have tuition only for MT. I think it's hard to find tuition centres that can provide help as the syllabus is different from the norm. The school has its own lecture notes, they don't use normal A or O level textbooks.

My boys told me for weaker students, the teachers will provide remedial. For students who show potential, the school will also provide extra coaching.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Artume, scm292, dagong99 for the advice.


1. So means tuition centre classes are not suitable as the NUSH syllabus are different?
Or as Artume mentioned, got to take 1-2 level up?
2. Normal O level / A level assessment books help? Does NUSH use text books?
3. Only HCL/ CL follow mainstream syllabus? which still can take up tuition ctr class tuiton?
