I wanted to reach out to parents who have children in (or have had children graduate from) SJI to see if they can share their thoughts about SJI. I'm particularly keen on the IP/IBDP program and better yet, if your child is doing (or had done) the Visual Arts Program.


All thoughts, concerns, suggestions etc. are welcomed TIA!

Is it possible for children who are currently doing IP in another school to transfer to SJI Visual Arts in Yr 5? Anyone has experience or knowledge on this?

Thanks Zac Mum. But this DSA seems to be for kids in Sec 4 Express. If kid in Sec 4 IP in another school, not sure if possible to do DSA. Never explored before as just thought about it when I saw this thread.

A2. I am presently an Integrated Programme (IP) student in another school; am I eligible to take part in
DSA-JC (Year 5) exercise?
IP students who were admitted through the DSA-Sec exercise will not be eligible to take part in the DSA-JC
exercise. DSA-Sec students are expected to honour their DSA commitment and are required to complete
their junior college education in their current IP School.
IP students who were posted to the IP school via PSLE results will only be eligible to take part in the DSA-JC
exercise if there are extenuating circumstances for their application as they are strongly encouraged to
complete and benefit from the customized 6-year IP of their current school. Please seek the advice and
guidance from your current school before making such an application. Your application forms will not be
accepted unless you enclose written document from your current School Principal and the Ministry of
Education that they have no objection to your application.

Are there any difference(s) in the way (style / manner),

where

IB (SJI) teach these 2 subjects (Chemistry and Maths)

Vs.

IB (ACSI) teach these 2 subjects (Chemistry and Maths),

to their
Year (5 and 6) cohort ( students ) ?

Comparing IB to A-level

===================

What’s the best (optimal) way, to find out the differences,
between

SJI ( IB )
two subjects (Chemistry and Maths)

Vs.

UK-A-level two subjects
(Chemistry and Maths) ?

( since both IB and UK-A-level are much simpler, easier to study, compared to our
more difficult, challenging, tougher
Singapore-SEAB-modified-upon-A-level exam syllabus)

[phtthp]

For year 5 intake -


1)
SJI-IB has a lower Cut off point, than ACSI-IB ?

2)
Is the SJI-IB intake, smaller than that of ACSI-IB intake ?
