NYGH WL has track record of converting to CO. A WL there is as good as a CO. -
Parents, let’s not fall into the temptation of ranking one sch over another, like it’s some sort of competition. In the end (like many have shared before me), what matters most is for our children to go to a sch that best fits their interests and character.
If we care for the happiness of our kids, branding and prestige should never come before their personal interest. For diff kids, their best sch could be NUSH, SOTA, SSS, SST etc.
As for RI, bcoz my boy is from there, I would say that if yours is those who are able to learn independently, has a love of learning beyond the syllabus, is comfortable to be in the company of academically stronger school mates, enjoys a well-balanced education (including sports, leadership training etc), then do give this sch serious consideration.
Of course the above factors would be true in many other top sch, and it’s not meant to be a slight at those sch. -

You mean track record to convert in NYGH or RGS. Our WL is RGS :nailbite:

Agree and thanks for sharing your perspective as an RI parent. We did not apply to RI as we never felt our son would be good enough for the school, or able to fit in (even though my hubby is from RI).

Here is 2016 A level results from school websiteBuddhist:
Assuming one has CO from both HCI and RI, which would
For P6s, it is natural that many parents focus on comparing the Y1-Y4 programs. I feel it is equally important to look at Year 5-6 program leading up to the A level exams. For IP students who are not taking O levels, the A levels (or IB) results will be be used for university admission. Heard from an insider source that in terms of A level results, HCI is distant second behind RI (in past years). A level results is of course only one aspect, but it reflects the strength of the Y5-6 program & quality of teaching. The schools released press releases on their A level results on their websites so that is another point for research.
RI had better top student but overall A level seems not much difference.![](\"https://s11.postimg.org/urgzlw5oz/IMG_2809.jpg\")

I don't think HCI was ever a \"distant second\" in past years' A Level performance. These 2 schools have always been very close in terms of academic performance. To me, HCI has plus point in inculcating Chinese culture/values.

Not sure about past years, but for 2017 DSA, HCI has imposed a very high standard for Maths & Science domains. Must be gold or platinum winners at Olympiads in order to be even shortlisted for HDP. Thus, there will have many top-calibre Maths/Science students to spur their schoolmates. Additionally, HCI has traditionally been known to strongly promote Chinese culture, language and values, which (in the current China era) is a big plus point. So I guess (just a guess) HCI has an edge over RI in terms of DSA acceptance. -

Must say that it is pretty impressive that HCI students actually got into (and chose) the top Chinese universities such as Fudan, Tsinghua and Peking. The opportunity to network with the elite Chinese at those universities will be invaluable for the students. -
