ha ha i meant he want to pursue scientific research after schooling, as in at uni level
but yeah, nush seems to maximise the exposure during sec/jc years while in nush with stuff like below,
https://www.nushigh.edu.sg/studying-at-nus-high/student-development/voyager-programme
https://www.nushigh.edu.sg/studying-at-nus-high/the-nus-high-diploma/research-innovation-and-enterprise
https://www.nushigh.edu.sg/studying-at-nus-high/the-nus-high-diploma/mathematics-and-statistics

he says he is interested in theoretical physics

Astar is working on quantum technologies and also nurturing quantum scientists:

https://www.a-star.edu.sg/imre/research-departments/quantum-technologies-for-engineering

Yearly Astar gives out science awards, to encourage and nurture aspiring researcher :

https://www.a-star.edu.sg/Scholarships/junior-college-and-polytechnic-and-secondary-school-students/a-star-science-award-upper-sec

Since Astar has plans to encourage and nurturing researcher, you may want to give it a try, contact Astar for help, for any advice for you child DSA. Maybe Astar will be able to share info on which schools they interacts often with. From there can deduce which other schools have or appear have, strong foundation in nurturing researcher?

yes yes, he is aware of Astar, he is also aware of this :https://www.quantumlah.org/
and also eyeing Germany for maybe further studies, switzerland CERN and what not (he is infact learning German for this reason ha ha, it started simply as learning another language, but then he found out those regions are the hotspots for this kind of stuff) :rotflmao:

but it never occured to me to ask Astar for help, thanks for this unique advice! :salute:
it might not go anywhere but no harm in trying we never know!
:lovesite:

your child may make teleporting a reality. Then no need for plane/vehicle anymore , cut down emissions……

but really i love this community of people in this forum for this, for actually helping out without being judgemental. i do know kids may change their views and what they want to do, but all we can do is to help them out with what they think is important for them during any given period of life :love:

in fact one parent suggested leave out the third dsa choice if i dont feel any other school is a good fit, it makes sense, but yea, still trying to make sure i dont leave out any good choices and miss out on the opportunity!

Oooo... teleportation.... I like!

But on the flip side... I will never want to get into a pod even if it works. How do we know if the pod merely destroys the current me and recreates a fake (but completely similar) me at the other end? Hmmm...

I would like to recommend NJC, as the schools fees are relatively more affordable as compared to the independent IP schools. And unlike SAP schools, I think it is slightly more accommodating to have a less than perfect Chinese score.

All the best![/quote]

Thanks Zeal mummy! Yes, NJC is one of her DSA considerations. We are planning to apply to it through Leadership and Visual Art. Also, there is a current misunderstanding across her and her friends. For DSA, is it supposed to be strictly the same 2 Talent Areas for the schools we choose, with a max. of 6 schs and 2 TAs per sch (not including SOTA)? Or is it up to any 2 TAs for a sch?

Oh my goodness. This will be unworldly.
Incidentally, this the central plot device of the movie \"The prestige\"
