100% of NYJC students intake are from JAE yet its A level results have been consistently better than many IP JCs. According to the A level results published there, NJC A level result slided only last year and prior years results were not as bad.
Let's get our kids to bring up the standard again! Was quite sad to learn that this year COP is 8. NJC has a higher cohort of JAE students compared to IP students (around IP 1/3 vs JAE 2/3) unlike other IP schools at JC level which is around IP 2/3 vs JAE 1/3. That may be a reason of not so good A level results. Also, I do hear other IP schools have O level route for those who can't keep up to maintain their A levels standard. I think NJ doesn't have O level route and I believe all the teachers will help to guide the students thru till A levels. We also hope that the new P will be able to bring up the standard of NJC again as she is ex-president scholar of NJC. Last but not least, welcome the new Sec 1s 2024!

Hi parent, I think most students do not have tuition in JH1. As NJC math and sci syllabus are taught more \"advance\", hence it is hard to find tuition centres unless you go for private lessons. Also, I do know NJ has consolidation lessons (like remedial lessons after school) for those who did not do that well for Math and Sci.
Dear parents, can I know where you send your children for tuition in JH1 for Maths & Science? Thank you so much! -

Hi, since one parent mentioned that NJC is ranked 2nd last amongst IP JCs, hence I am trying to explain where are the possible disparities. Intake is quite good for PSLE (almost the same as COP for HCI for example) but apparently A level output is not as good. It could possibly be due to the JAE intake which is the majority and the COP of NJC for JAE is definitely worse off than HCI for example. Hence, what I am trying to say is that we can't really say that NJC is not value adding to the IP students who entered in Sec 1. What NJC form teachers told us (parents) is that since sec 1, their main objective to is work our kids towards the end goal A Levels and pacing students to it.

As you rightfully pointed out, NYJC is up and coming JC, there was also one article about this school this year. This JC is like the 3rd JC in the rank after RI and HCI. Their JAE COP is also catching up RI and HCI. I do have friends' kids who qualified for IP but rather go to CCH for the affiliation to NYJC. Different students choose their paths differently for various reasons.
Anyway, as our minister says, all schools are good schools. How our kids turn out is also very much dependable on them. One at the \"best\" school can also turn out worse off than another one at the \"worst\" school.
I believe culture is equally, if not more important than results, it will help to shape our kids. -

Yes.
From the look of above posting, starting wef. this year (2024), National Junior College is indeed inviting
scholars (students) from overseas countries, welcoming them to join NJC, to sit for their O-level. Otherwise, the content printed won't explicitly ask these scholars to \"repeat Grade 9\".
However,
opening up this unique O level class, apply only to this group of overseas scholars. It is NOT detailed nor explicit enough to
conclude that
NJC also intend to open up O-level classes, to
rest of the entire end-of-Sec 2 Mainstream NJC IP cohort, to let them come in to join this group of scholars, in their Upper Secondary (3 & 4) -
if supposed (or assuming that)
some of these end of Sec 2 cohort NJC students are also keen (interested) to exit out of IP (NJC) programme, having tried out or experienced 2 years of IP already inside NJC themselves, decided to switch over to take O level instead.
Why ?
Because
after taken O-level, they can have more options available now to choose from, like (example) :-
join IB (ACSI / SJI) via JAE
or
join another Junior College,
or
go to Polytechnic.
Why ?
Because these unique O-level classes opened up inside NJC,
wef. 2024 (thid year), has a purpose.
It is in joint Parnership with St Joseph Institution, another school, to lure & to attact overseas scholars to come over to Singapore, to study.

This 3rd (third) JC that u mentioned, is ... Nanyang Junior College.

...
The reason why COP for JAE (National JC) has dropped in the past years, is because ...
many JAE students have flocked over to both
Eunoia Junior College
and to
Nanyang Junior College.
To many of these JAE excited students, they find joining EJC and NYJC more attractive, than NJC.
Example
=======
For this year (2024) JC (1) intake -
while the COP for JAE (Hwa Chong + RI) is nett 4 (for Science stream),
that
for Nanyang JC, is nett 5 (for Science stream) and
for Eunoia JC, is nett 6 (for Science stream).
For National JC, it is nett 7 (for Science stream).
====================
National JC can check.
Every batch of JC (1) JAE students, how many are there ? And, how many are already existing Year 5 IP (NJC) students?
If the number of JAE students joining NJC is not a lot, only a handful, compared to the Total number of existing Year 5 IP (NJC) who have joined since Sec 1,
then,
the performance of overall NJC A-level results, is still very much dependent upon how well prepared, are the IP (NJC) students, for A-level.
One good reference example to take a look at, is ... Dunman High and River Valley High. Every JC (1) batch of JAE students inside DHS and RVH, the intake of JAE students is very small. Around 80 students, thereabout ?
Hence,
the performance of A-level results inside (Dunman High + River Valley High) overall, is still very much largely dependent upon how well, these two IP schools have prepared their IP students for A-level, in their 6 years programme. And not so much dependent upon the small, little trickle inflow of JAE students, in JC (1).
