      Thanks Lexis! We'll find out when the time comes 🙂

      My DS loves his Sec 1 History teacher - I'm not sure whether it is the novelty of a new subject or what, but he finds her extremely knowledgeable and engaging (and witty).

        Sorry i can’t answer questions about any subjects. I am really hands off because i am out of the country mostly. But i know his English is strong and excel in Lit because his "ang mo" Lit teacher mentioned this in his progress report something like "very strong cognitive argument ability…" something like that. However I do read his teachers’ year end comment.

              The selection process took about 3 hours. It included group interviews in which random questions were asked (such as talk about a book you really liked), as well as a group activity to work together and present to the interviewers on the topic posed. There were also other activities to test the child's response and thinking. IMO, it was a unique and thorough selection process. Humanities is a new DSA domain in HCI (it only started last year), and there could be refinements this year. Let your DS be himself and enjoy the process. I know my DS did 😄 . All the best to your DS.

                    They are free to choose their subject combination at the end of Sec 2, it is not a must to take up humanities program. However, for DS’s batch, all the DSA humanities students are in the student journalism unit where they will contribute articles for some of the school’s publication.

                        May I know how big is the DSA intake via humanities? Maybe your son would know from the no. of friends who DSA and are currently in the journalism unit. Thanks in advance for sharing.
