Can anyone advise if VCA IP is very stressful and demanding? If DC is not the hardworking type but cooperative, pleasant and can excel in last minute's work, is DC suitable for VCA IP?

There will be so many projects, how can the student be free?

So you mean there will be no time to slack? For Y3, can give an example of typical project title and how the pupils go about completing it? What kind of deadline, eg one week or 2 months to hand in? Will pupils who join in Y3 be disadvantaged? A lot of homework given?
TIA.

Alternatively, you can check with some form teachers what are the expectations in IP in sec 3. On a general note, all girls are able to cope well with some scoring 4.0 Gpa.

Thank you Isetan for your valuable advice.

Which program is more stressful, the Nanyang- Hwa Chong IP program or the VCA program? My daughter offered both via DSA. Still thinking about which to put as first option. Any comments?

Which school culture does your daughter prefer? I believe the schools involved, NY-HC and Cedar-VJC, are very different in school culture and location.

Each school’s IP program has its challenges, it’s quite difficult to do a comparison (i.e. no Apple to Apple comparison).

Another way to make your choice is to look at the CCA or special talent programs offered by the schools and make your choice. You have a choice, happy selecting.
