Was struggling to choose between Yishun town Sec and Chung Cheng high Yishun ,

Can some one advice ? Pro n con between 2school ?

I honestly feel that yishun town is better because the discipline is better at yishun town. Yishun town students also do relatively better than students at Chung Cheng high. And to top it off, yishun town has many nice and encouraging teachers too! So if i had to choose, I would definitely choose yishun town :goodpost:

I was from YTSS a few years. And i gotta say that YTSS really have the best teachers throughout my education years. The dedication they give in every of their students. As for the express stream, we were all ‘forced’ to choose Pure Sciences and A Maths during streaming from Sec 2 to 3, and I would say this is actually a very scheme. Especially for most of the students here, who are going to poly or JCs, these subjects give them an edge in entering their JC/Poly, while some other school actually don’t allow you take these subjects unless you meet a grade eg. B4 and above. The principal and the teaching team actually thought and planned for the students future, and not only cared about the O level results. Trust me, when i was in JC, i saw many students entering with a low l1r5 score but the subjects they took were combined sciences, and no AMath, they struggled so hard to catch up with the syllabus due to the lack of prior knowledge.

The school may not have the best facilities or a very niche CCA available, but the exposure you/your children can get is really shadow this cons. Most importantly, the teachers really dedicated in teaching students. Night studies till 10pm, with most teachers staying back for consultation, really help to push student for the final mile just before O levels. I managed to quite a decent results of 7A1s, which till today I am still thankful for all teachers that have taught me in YTSS.
Ultimately, the final goal for entering a secondary school, is getting good O levels results, and that will really open lots of door in the path for JC and Poly. Even though YTSS does not really shine for their sports or others, it is definitely the best school in the North area and even on par with Band 1 School like Anderson SS, or Catholic High.

I agree with Yishun Yown being the best option. My DS had the exp/na option after PSLE and we were bang on sending him to YT at NA level despite him being eligible for Exp elsewhere. The strategy of the school and teachers were so motivating and despite the heavy workload, he managed to top his class for 2 years and get into Exp in sec 3. This was from him being an average kid in pri sch.Highly recommended and results speaks for itself.

Does the school provide extra classes for children who are weak academically?

Hi Jaydazzlerz

Someone mentioned students in NA in a good school (I consider YTSS a good school in a neighbourhood) will face discrimination from those in express and even the teachers. Did your son ever complain? How many NA class are there in YT? If possible can email me [email protected]? Thanks
