Compare RGS vs NYGH

Hi, anyone entered NYGH through Chinese Dance DSA ? I heard of the requirement of minimum height at 160cm, is that real? On top of that, what area the criteria?

Both are good schools. Ask your daughter which uniform she likes better, which route she prefers to get to school, whether there are specific CCAs she prefers in one of the other school. If she still can’t decide, draw lots!

Agree that both are good schools! Rather than comparing them, it’s more about finding the right fit for your child. Bring her to the schools to check out the environment, speak with teachers, students and alumnus. Let her decide. Either way you’re spoilt for choice!

RGSS DSA offer and NYGH DSA offer. Which offer will one accept? On the surface, the question begs a popularity answer, that is, which school has a wider appeal. Under the surface, two notions exist. One notion is about how one school is presumed to be better than the other. The other notion is a nefarious attempt to lift up one or to thumb down the other.

Leaving aside the nefarious notion, what do we mean by better? Let us remember that accepting either offer is first and foremost about accepting a secondary school for girls with one being by policy design SAP and the other being by accident of tradition cosmopolitan. Moreover, accepting either offer is also about accepting where to write the A Levels, at HCI or at RI.

By better, whether it is about the NYGH v. RGSS comparison, or the HCI v. RI comparison, if we are honest, we realize it is a quarrelsome comparison, the same as asking if Cambridge or Oxford is better, or if Harvard or Stanford is better, or if Audi or BMW is better. If by better we mean performance at the A Levels or the bagging of a prestigious scholarship award by our DS within the NYGH/HCI system or the RGSS/RI system, the answer, then, depends on who is answering.

Take the proxy number measuring how many students achieved a UAS of 90 at the A Levels. Is the NYGH/HCI system or the RGSS/RI system better in enabling our DS to achieve a UAS of 90? This is a specifically individual question since a UAS of 90 is highly dependent on individual ability. The track record of NYGH/HCI or RGSS/RI in producing a UAS of 90, let us remember, is a statistic about other people. There are failures in NYGH/HCI and RGSS/RI but such are more often a case of individual situation than a failure of the institutions and schools.

If by better we mean wider appeal, in our opinion, NYGH, being a SAP school, has lesser general appeal than RGSS. Why do we say so? How do we know?

RGS has a much wider mix of students from different races and cultural backgrounds, while NYGH is predominantly a Chinese SAP school which is affiliated with NYPS. This means around 24% of the top student pool in Singapore will not consider NYGH or HCI. The cultural mix at RGS or RI may contribute to student social behaviour and interaction. e,g current RGS principal is a Malay and she is an ex-student at RGS.
