Is there an advantage if they go straight to Lasalle / NAFA vs they go to Poly / JC first?
A friend of mine told me if you go straight it is better because the students don’t need as much time to adjust to the culture of the school because it is different from the typical Singapore education system. True? Anyone have any experience? -
Does LAsalle/ NAFA allow o-level students directly ?

Yes they do. But depending on the disciplines applied, students may have to go for interviews, show portfolio and/or audition. -

Typically, the academic routes for LS/NAFA students are:
After O level => 3 years diploma
After O level => 3 years diploma + 2 years degree (with Lasalle or NAFA's partner universities for the respective disciplines)
After poly/A levels => 1st year foundation course + 2 years degree (with Lasalle or NAFA's partner universities for the respective disciplines)
Learning style in these arts school is very hands-on and students are expected to be self-motivated, disciplined and independent. Students need to pace themselves in order to complete all their projects and assignments. -
What are the disciplines NAFA offers?
My DD has interest to do degree in Drama/Stage management/directing plays etc…
She had ELDDS for sec school & JC & lot of leadships roles …
Off late, she is leaning towards full time degree related to Drama society. -

Not sure if your girl is still keen on theatre or arts management. Can check out the websites of these institutions:
NUS Theatre Studies - open house should be in March 2016
Lasalle College of the Arts - open house on 15 and 16 Jan 2016
NAFA - no news of open house but likely to be same time as Lasalle's
