      If ur gal score is high u might want to see SNG cos their psle results is awesome this year. They prepared their students very well n is a sap school. Very driven school no tuition needed. Many of them are looking to rgs n nygh. I guess might have alot of places available more than ij tp.

      Actually I am under the impression, the more driven the school, the more tuition is required : )
      Gg for tuition is not a big deal in Singapore. Even scholars go for tuition.
      My children has school mates whose parents are teachers, tutors and doctorate holders, their kids go for tuition.
      To know if the students for any school go for tuition is very simple. Just ask any tuition ctrs or small tuition groups, there are dedicated tuition groups created for specific schools even. More often than not, you will find these groups are from many top schools : )
      p.s. SNG sec students do go for tuition. They are my daughters’ pri sch friends. I am not sure about SNG pri students though. But I do see them in uniform entering TLL.

                Chij tp sec is for ij tp pri whom did not do well enough to qualify for other schools. Is just a mediocre sch with high cutoff becos most of its places filled up by feeder sch. If u can choose sch which offers pure sci only to express stream.

                Becos these r the sch which have the confidence n will b able to guide the even ave students to do well.

                  I guess yr niece is an outlier : )
                  Otherwise tuition wld not be a multi-million business in Singapore.
                  Was referring to the general cohort.
                  SNG is a g8 school. Definitely, given her capability, she doesn’t need tuition throughout her school life.
                  She will love Eunoia JC. I saw the school coming up in Bishan. The building is awesome!
                  Hopefully my dd2 can make it there in a 2 years.

                      Was in the same dilemma : )
                      We chose IJ TP due to distance and their O level results. Tot it wld be better during O levels if dd2 is nearer to school. Her course is pretty demanding next year. So being able to walk to school is a definite plus. We had a preference for girls’ school too.
                      Anderson is very very good school too.

                        When I was gg thru the sec sch selection, I read many nasty comments about IJ TP sec on this thread. My kids’ pri sch friends all had negative comments too. I tot it was rather strange. In the end, I did my research n made an objective selection based on our requirements.
                        Whether it is pure science or combined science, it does not matter. The key is getting the A1 for that subject. My older kids have friends who did sub sci in sec school (combi of BioChem), they did H2 Bio and H2 Chem in JC.
