DSA 2022

[SG_KP1]

Last thought on IP A vs IP IB. Is it that one education is truly better than the other? Or is it that one is just a more valuable global currency for university admissions?


For me, the first question is not so clear, and individual school preferences are stronger than the curriculum track. For the second question, the answer is clear.

The riddle is that if all of Singapore switched to IB the cohort would then flood the global universities with 42-45 point scorers (or the IGPs for the local unis would be just as crazy). Part of the reason it is valuable is because only a few schools here are running it (a valid reason to go this route if any of these schools are a good fit for your child).

Adios…

Sorry, I am new here. Not sure how to reply to the posts. Thanks to SG_KP1 and AHsDad for the clarification on the conversion of WL!

Dear Parents, I am planning to apply DSA next year for my DD under sport domain (badminton). Do you mind to share profile of your child for successful DSA (CO or WL) in CHMM, DHS, TJC and Cedar? Thank you

Hi. I would like to ask if any parents have girls in scgs or st nicholas?

My daughter received the co from these 2 schools via science domain. And i was wondering, since both schools will lead to ejc, is there any distinct difference in the ip programme between the 2 schools? Any compulsory activities they have to do?

Congratulations
My girl's also DSA science from SCGS too, she's now Sec2.
Although distance wise, SNGS is nearer but we chose SCGS as my girl is weak in Chinese.
It's compulsory to take HCL in SNGS IP but optional in SCGS IP.
Both school have similar academic syllabus as they both go to EJC later.
SCGS has both higher art and higher music at year3-4 but SNGS only has MEP (music) for selected kids since year 1
Both schools have elective BSP start at year 3
Take note that it's compulsory to take Literature as one of humanity at year 3-4 in SCGS, I don't know if SNGS has this rule also.
There wasn't any commitment to join any CCA on my girl's cohort, but DSA science kids are encouraged to join Science & Environment Club.
My girl joined in year 1 but changed her CCA in year 2.
My girl took part in some science competitions although school didn't force her to.
3 schools - SCGS, SNGS, CHS - gather once a year to attend symposium although they couldn't mingle in this covid time.
SCGS school fee is definitely higher as it is independent school.

I hope this help

Morning all. Is there some sort of literature that compiles the differences, pros and cons of the different streams offered currently? I’m trying to explain the difference to DS but I only have experience in O, A levels and Diploma - which could also be outdated by now. ><


And trying my best to describe based on the bits and pieces I’m reading here (which is a great help btw!).

This is a helpful thread.

Hi. I would like to ask if any parents have boys in DHS or VS?


My DS received co from these 2 schools via sports. I would like to know more about these 2 schools about their culture, academic & teachers. Are there any distinct difference in the ip programme between the 2 schools?

Thanks in advance!
