:congrats:
Thank you very much! My daughter got NJC WL and SOTA CO. So we will apply NJC followed by SOTA. Her score is not stable, hence, we don’t dare to take the risk…
consider carefully.
NJC is A-level path,
leading towards
(Junior College + later on university),
while
SOTA is IB path.
Even then,
SOTA IB curriculum is different from that of (MGS-ACSI or SJI) IB curriculum. -
May i ask how different is IB of Sota from AcsI / SJI IB? Beside taking their Arts Domain as their group 6 subject.
Still have to take group 1-5 subjects right? -
Anyone else has not received DHS’s letter ? I’ve not received

I believe Category 6 (Year 5-6) is the main difference. At many other schools (not just Singapore), I think a fair number of kids may swap out Category 6 for another subject (likely Science here). There are some prior posts that said SOTA kids could swap out Category 6, but I am not sure if that is still allowed (Literary Arts kids are also getting a dedicated Category 6 class going forward).

Of course, there is likely more of a focus on Arts in Sec 1-4, but I think the core components should be similar (it is the same IBDP degree at the end of six years). Or at least not any different than the subtle differences across many schools here that all lead to the same end point.
Others may be able to add more details or corrections. -

May I know how to indicate DSA school preference? Received different info - by login to the DSA-Sec Portal or by School Preference Form from MOE through primary school. Is it both also can?

Students who have received offers through DSA-Sec should submit their preferred choice of schools to us from 9am on Monday, 31 October 2022 to 3pm on Friday, 4 November 2022.
You can submit your child's preferences:
Through the DSA-Sec Portal.
Contact your child's primary school.
It seems that either approach is acceptable but I would prefer to do so via the DSA-Sec Portal when it opens up on 31 October 2022. Since this was the avenue used to submit DSA applications in the first place, it makes sense (at least to me) to follow this approach in making the school selection. -

Hi there! Do your DS have the option of SJI & SOTA (under Visual Arts) too?

Currently, I'm more inclined to with SJI than SOTA though this reflects my traditional/old-school mentality more than anything else. I'd like a more well-rounded school rather than one which is so arts-focused. I do think, however, that SOTA has a more progressive IB program whereas SJI is more traditional. Can't really decide for now but eager to hear others' thoughts too.
