Anglo-Chinese School (Independent)

[autolycus]

The ACS(I) Integrated Programme (IP) consists of 4 years of secondary education followed by 2 years leading to the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma. Other schools have IPs that are 4 years secondary education followed by 2 years leading to the GCE A-level Certificate instead.

Hello all, I saw the ACS IP programme says that they do not take Singapore-Cambridge A level.

Can someone help me to understand why kind of certification after the 6 years of course?

Thank you so much

DS targeting to enter ACSI IP next year.
We are contemplating taking a 3rd language in Sec 1, probably French.

May I check:
1. Are the lessons held in campus or outside campus?

Depending on what language taken, typically conducted at Bishan or Newton MOELC

2. Which days are the lessons?
3. How long is each lesson?

Abt 2 hours with break time

4. Any kind souls who would like to share your third language experience at ACSI?

Many thanks!

Japanese held in Newton for ACSI boys & buses provided on for appointed days. If boys switched to other days, tpt not provided.

thank u for your reply! :thankyou:

You’re the guru, who always gives a more succinct explanation! 👍🏻

Does anyone know if the boys can take Chinese as a HL subject in year 5/6?

Technically yes. This would be the equivalent of doing literature in Chinese, using literary works originally written in Chinese. However, they won't offer it if there is insufficient take-up. In the days when we had many scholars from China, it was viable; now I'm not so sure.

May I check with parents here is it a very long walk from bus stop along AYE to ACSI? I’m considering for my son. We need to take bus 963
