To cut a long story short, the best advice is to find the best student-sch match.

SST focused a lot on STEM. For ACSI (I'll assume it's ACSI here) it's IB which requires strong writing, presentation and critical thinking skills.

Most SST grads go on to JC to take A level while ACSI students take a 6 yr IB prg. With its unique uniform, SST students are easy to spot and they were well behaved whenever I see them in public. ACS boys exude an air of confidence (I feel that all boys should be like that) and traditionally do v well in the IB.

The sch are quite different in focus and it shouldn't be too difficult to decide on the one that best matches your ds' interest - interest being the keyword here, not branding nor prestige. All the best.

So far which schools have sent out their COs?

So far, think only the 2 High Schools sent out CO :

River Valley High and NUS High

RGS CO :
usually sent out in the last week of August.

Hi Santhana, you mean 2 hours camp at SST or the formal kind of interview? :?

Hi,


There isn’t much discussion here on SGCS. Anyone applied and any news so far. My girl applied via Maths and had since took the written test and interview in July. No new since then.

Thanks for your reply..
My DS is returning Singaporean doing igcse abroad good in maths and science. He has interest in medical related line. So we are not sure SST students can opt for medicine if there is interest at a later stage.
