Kuo chuan vs pei chun? Same distant.. which is better?

Kio Chuan has affiliation to sec sch.

And subsequent affiliation to St Andrew JC I think?
Pei chun is a SAP school vs Kuo Chuan is a Christian school. Depends on what environment u want.

I agree. I will add it also depends whether the school environment and culture meshes well with your own family culture and values

I saw from the list that St Nicholas is affiliated to Catholic JC. I thought St Nicholas is going to link to a new JC called Euonia or something ?

That is if the student is in the IP program.


If she is in the ‘O’ Level track (if they still have it),
then she should still continue to enjoy the affiliation to CJC.

Thanks for the enlightenment.

There is a difference !

St Nick Secondary girls, who are affliated to Catholic JC (CJC) :
are only for JAE (Joint Admission Exercise) students, who after taking \"O\" level exam, get 2 points discounted, to enter CJC.
These girls are in the \"O\" level track.


St Nick Secondary girls, who are affliated to Eunoia JC (EJC) :
are only for IP students, who after Psle, study for next 6 years, sit for A level at EJC, bypass \"O\" level exam.
These girls, are in the IP track

Conclusion :
whether they are affliated to CJC, or to EJC :
depend on which track or program, they come from.

Although St Nick Secondary \"O\" level girls are privileged to enter affliated Catholic JC, at -2 bonus points :
however, usually the Top \"O\" level students (3-pointers) from St Nick Sec, head for either Raffles Institution or Hwa Chong, for \"A\" level.

some also head for National JC, for \"A\" level.
