River Valley High School [*IP]

What is the promotion criteria for each level? Must the student attain a certain grade for higher Chinese? Must the student offer Malay as third language subject? Thanks.

GPA of min. 2 for 6 core subjects + CID, and B4 for English and HCL, to be promoted every year.

No Malay third language requirement, but it’s taught as an enrichment subject.

Officially is min B4 for english/HCL, but don’t worry, this is far from being a hard and fast rule for promotion…


The school does not have O level class so you don’t have to worry about being "demoted" to O level class or the intermediate / observation class like in other IP schools.

In my opinion, one attractive aspect is the school is generous when it comes to supporting student choice for subject combinations… Many kids are given triple science or triple humanities for sec3/4… and almost everyone get the subjects they want.

How about CCA? Is it easy to get into CCAs of your choice if you don’t have any prior experience ?

May be challenging but no harm trying

There’s a trial period so it depends on the skills/aptitude the student displays for that CCA, even without prior experience. Infocomm only takes in students with coding experience though.

We attended the open house 2 weeks ago and the Year 4 students were the ones explaining to the guests and fielding questions. Very impressive.


Btw how do students normally get to school from MRT? Boon Lay or Lakeside?
