      Is it rather generally a true statement that teachers in independent secondary schools tend to be more experienced and more enthusiastic in teaching as these schools hire each of them on their own? Thoughts are welcome.

        Independent secondary schools can hire some of them on their own. The majority are still MOE teachers. Thus, it's relative easier for independent schools to address some shortcomings in the teaching calibre / experience by hiring external teachers on their own.

        Enthusiasm is a two-way street. Teachers in independent schools may seem a lot more enthusiastic because they are dealing with a higher calibre of students. Thus, teachers can drive or lead in a lot of the discussion / lesson with a lot more to / fro as well as depth in the discussion / lesson. If you compare teachers in independent schools with the teachers in some of the better government / government-aided schools, you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference.

          Probably not a surprise after some of the restrictions were extended to 21 Nov but looks like open house will be online again this year.

              There are different types of IP schools, some are government-funded, some fully independent. For the latter group, it can range between $300 and $600 per month. For government-funded like NJC, school fee is around $33

                The link can provide a gauge but not the exact, as I just checked. It provides a range for some schools and provides a breakdown for some others. For schools where the breakdown is provided, it shows the maximum and not the prevailing rates, eg maximum autonomous school fees $18, but in actual fact, I dont think any school charges over $5.

                Going to the school website would be better though I must admit it is a bit tedious esp if one is checking for many schools.

                  The link is good to gauge maximum fees for non-independent schools. Diff slightly between schools because of 2nd tier fees charged by school. For independent schools, it is better to check their websites because fees are listed on there.

                    Government-funded schools are really affordable indeed. Any idea which is the most expensive IP school for Singapore citizens?
