Except in 2 year's time, that closed door would mean, he would have missed out the 4 years of IB foundational training entirely, the DOK/EE basics, which in itself, must be worth its gold in the IB experience. If anything, I admire his strength to keep trying, as a sensitive child, to face closed doors, again and again, must take its toll. His tolerance for failure is beyond me. Yet he still wakes up every morning smiling to me, still trying to be the best of who he can be.

Don't worry too much. As someone who designed the original pre-IB programme and monitored it for many years, I can say with confidence that your son sounds like the sort who would've benefited from the IP/IB, but who would probably be able to compensate. He sounds like he has a lot of not only raw, but well-developed, talent. All the best to your family!

hi all. I am new here. My son is just posted to ASC Barker Sec 1 next year 2022 . His PSLE AL is 9 and his first option was ACSI Express stream with indicative cut off point is 9. Not sure what is the final COP for Express Stream.


I am thinking to encourage him to sit for the transfer exam to ACSI next year at the end of Sec 1. May you advise what should be his exam scores to get shortlisted in the first place (before the interview round)? What are the criteria? How I can prepare him in advance? Thanks so much for the advise.

Is there a WhatsApp chat group for parents whose kids are going to ACSI Year1 next year?

Am curious, what is this “transfer exam” that Penguin911 mentioned above? Is it an internal exam that ACS Barker Sec1 boys take to enter ACSI? Or ACSI Sec2 boys take to enter ACSI year3 IP? Normally how many ACSP or ACSJ boys (through affiliation AMR AL13) will crossover to ACSI ? (Will the primary boys take up almost the full quota of 80%)

Hi, I am a parent of a child who is in PSLE this year and am wondering if ACS (Independent) COP (AL?) is known to anyone here? for 2021


Also is anyone familiar with the DSA process for Chess? Thanks

Hi,

May I seek clarification on CCA requirement from Year 5/6 students or parents please?
I understand that for Year 1-4, students are required to take 2 CCA’s.
How about students who enter via JAE in Year 5/6? Can students choose to take only 1 CCA? Thanks.
