NUS High School of Mathematics and Science (Diploma)

[myrick88]

My first choice is other main stream IP school too. But NUS High is my boy’s first choice.


Wonder did I worry too much? Worried the pace is too accelerated and wonder if he can cope?

What will happen if he cannot cope etc?

Think so... think most GEP kids will prefer RI or HC. Trusted name!

This year, slightly more than half of my boy's class applied for NUSH. They are GEP students.

Hi all, Did they all selected for camp anf any interviews for them?

NUSH wasn't our (parents') choice but my boy insisted that there's where he wanted to go. IMHO, that was the best decision he ever made!

Same here, the best decision ever and it's OUR 1st choice (parents & kid) :celebrate:

Same, NUSH is DS choice and RI is mom choice

I think last year have more GEP students went to NUSH because of the change is DSA assessment.

In the end, we follow DS choice mainly because RI has like 400-500 students and by the time to JC will be like 800-900 students. Assuming each school could only provide good support to said 50-60 students ... in RI, will have to be the top 5%, in NUSH that is top 30% ... so we thought of unless confident to be in top 5% RI, likely NUSH is better (if the child interest is in Math and Science). ... our own logic

This is something else i wanted to ask from all the experienced people here... Have heard many people who get selected in NUS, leave it for Raffles? Do u think Raffles is better than NUS? In what sense ?

I don't think it's a matter of which school is better.

Rather, it's a matter of which school suits the child more and whether the child will thrive in that school.

In any case, both schools are great schools.

My opinion is ...

If your child is fighting for government scholarships or US universities ... RI is likely going to be better

If your child is good in everything including CCA/leadership ... RI is likely going to be better

If your child is lob-sided to Maths and Science ... NUSH is likely going to be better

For the other, I think more of what your child inspire to be

RI mission is Nurturing thinkers, leaders and pioneers of character who serve by leading and lead in serving.
... I interpret as Harvard, scholar, Minister, and etc

NUSH mission is Inspire and shape the future of education in mathematics and science. Future-ready Pioneers, Humanitarians and Innovators for the world ... I interpret as A*STAR, MIT, NASA, Steve Job, Einstein
