      My son is now in Year 6 (IB track). He sat for the O levels, made it to IB.


      He is a very happy teenager. ACSI focus on all rounded education (2 CCA’s compulsory - 1 must be a uniform group). The school has very good values and the boys have great fun. Quite competitive (depending on which class), but there is great teamwork. The boys help each other out.

      The difference between IB and A level is IB requires consistent work. As 30% of the final grades is due to assignments and presentations. It is very rigorous and cannot afford to slack as the grades will show. But IB teaches critical thinking skills.

          For last year (2017 Year 1 Intake), 80 for IP and 50 for Express.
          You can choose DSA Express or IP or both.

                    [/quote]Btw, it is still known as the IP Program. The IB (International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme) is done in Year 5 and 6.

                      Sorry for side-tracking here - any parents can provide me with the school bus provider phone number for me to make an enquiry?


                      Thanks!

                        After Year 4, the students will be promoted to Year 5 and then Year 6 to do IB.
                        They do not take O level and they are in the \"IP\" track.

                        Power up your future with high quality small group tuition.
