* Millennia Institute (MI)
-
On 1 February 2024 (coming soon)
9 am,
MOE will send sms to your hp, inform you of your JC / Poly / MI posting news (outcome).
If for some reasons, u failed to enter MI because u missed the Cut off point, can appeal quickly.
Based on past few years’ batches, usually, there are still some vacancies left, in MI. That is, provided you are really keen, in pursuing this 3 year A-level MI course, instead of going to Poly. -
Every year, NUS / NTU conduct Open house.
2024 A-level results going to be released soon, for students born in year 2005. After A-level results are released, often, got local uni Open house conducted.
If u (final, 3rd year MI graduate) are interested in a certain particular course or faculty, on the Open house actual day itself,
can approach the Dean or Principal in charge of that unique, particular faculty which u are interested in, can ask this Officer in charge :
- roughly say,
based on past 2 to 3 years,
usually, how many MI students got admitted into your faculty (degree course) ? -

True, but some have managed it. My daughter had classmates who lived in Pasir Ris and Tampines! I felt very sorry for them. I think that MI should be centrally located since there is only 1 school that provides the 3-year A level course.
However,
the location of MI is at Bukit Batok. So, if u happen to stay extremely far, say.
Eg.
staying in Tampines or in Pasir Ris (extreme East),
u may consider renting a one bedroom, much closer towards Bukit Batok.
Otherwise, the travelling up and down, to and fro 2 ways,
from Pasir Ris / Tampines to Bukit Batok everyday,
from Monday to Friday,
and vice versa,
is going to make you, very tired.
Because
there is no hostel, no boarding school, inside MI. And you are going to travel to and Fro, up and down, study not 2 years, but 3 years for your A-level, in MI. -
Regarding independent JC Sch fees, please note your ESIS is only $2400/annum so will not cover fully your JC Sch fees. Even if you have other MOE scholarships on top of ESIS eg HSP, BSP, LEP, please note that you will not receive 2x of $2400/annum. You will still be capped at $2400/annum. For P6 recipients into independent IP sch, you will receive ESIS for 6y. For sec 3 IP recipients, you will receive from sec 3-J2 and for JAE, you will receive for J1-2. The award is binding on your past achievements (based on eligibility) and present or future results do not matter if you can clear promotional criteria. Do note if you are awarded external scholarships like DSTA etc, you need to achieve a minimum grade to keep your scholarship for J2.

Have spoken to RI Principal, on Open house Friday (12 January 2024).

He said that
based on your O level results, if inside your Form A right at the bottom mentioned (indicated) that u qualify for ESIS for JC (1), then,
In order to continue into your JC (2) ESIS, all is required is that ...
you (JAE student) pass your JC (1) exam, at promtional year end.
I asked him, do you need minimum
3As + 1B, in order to continue to qualify for your second year, JC (2) ESIS ?
He replied :
No need any minimum 3As + Bs. He said there is no minimum grade requirement.
Just pass your JC (1) exam, will do.
Above answer, is for JAE students, who after sat for their O-level, have entered these 4 independent schools like (RI / Hwa Chong / ACSI-IB and SJI-IB).
However,
for those PSLE students who have entered above 4 named independent schools from Sec 1 onwards (age 13 onwards), then, I not sure.
At SJI-IB Open house on Saturday (13 Jan), I posed the same, identical question to him too (the SJI Principal). He answered in the same way (manner), as RI Principal :-
Once JAE student qualify for ESIS, if they happen to fall within the Top 5 percent of the entire National exam O level cohort (a few thousands of Sec 4 students), you can take it that your education for
JC (1 and 2)
or
for your IB (final, last 2 years),
is as good as receiving \"free\" school
fees education, inside an Independent school. -
I also could feel the distance. Agree that maybe move a little will be the best. Though SG is not big but when talk abt travelling on daily basis for 3 years is not easy.

I came across this article recently:
“Millennia Institute student scores four As at A levels after taking break from studies to have twins”
https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/parenting-education/millennia-institute-student-who-left-school-to-have-twins-resumes-studies-and-scores-four-as-at-a-levels
She scored RP of 88.75 out of 90, applying to study Medicine (currently doing her internship at a special education school for children with autism).
