Hi everyone,


Has anyone done a comparison between MGS IB program and Raffles Diploma? Which one is recognised better if applying to an overseas university?

Thank you !

Does this mean that the program is not doing well or that they want to attract more non MGS girls ? :idea:

Any reporting instructions from the school? Thanks

A better comparison would be between IP and A levels. The Raffles Diploma isn't used for applying for unviersities. It's just gives some additional info about a girl's achievements.

problem is ... many of us have a difficult time (undecided dilemma), choosing between (Year 5 & Year 6) IB path or choosing A-level, particularly those from MGS O-level track. After complete O-level, should they go ACSI (IB) or go to an A-level Junior College ?

My daughter did A levels while a couple of her close church friends did IB. There are pros and cons to each which have been discussed in detail on other threads. The student's preferred way of studying and assessment matters to some degree, but I think the outcomes are not really that different when all is said and done.
