My dd Sota/theather studies confirm order - just overcome the tough decision to choose between TKGS and SOTA, well we have decided to take the road less travelled.


So have you decided ?

Thanks for the 1 and only 1 reply.

May I know the reason why you choose the later since TKGS is a good school?

ok, one more reply for you


a reasonably well known professional that i was acquainted with not long ago was all praise for SOTA that his girl managed to get in…to him it suits his girl well and it is TRULY a school of the arts

From people I know whose kids are in SOTA, they are all pleased with their choices. Though they specialise either in Art, Music, Theatre or Dance, they have a choice of moving back to mainstream studies. However, they do about 16 subjects in order to achieve the ability to keep their mainstream choice open.

Hi everyone, I'm new here and I am a primary 6 student myself. Well... I didn't really study hard for PSLE)): OK well, I want to go to SOTA soo much. I thought 200 can go in already! But turns out, 230?? And BTW, do they look at your PSLE marks or ...?? Bcos I'm planning to go for the audition in March next year Okay but also, give me your feed backs on Temasek Secondary Normal Acad & Pasir Ris Secondary Normal Acad? Thankyou all!~

May I know what are the options available once the kids graduate from SOTA? Do they go on to local Uni and what are the chances like compared to ‘A’ level students? Heard IB is more popular overseas, so does it means after SOTA can only go overseas for further education?

In the SOTA's chart, the path for the students is local uni or overseas uni.
Like the fully academic track, a handful of highly talented students can win themselves scholarships to study overseas.

In fact, the SOTA students actually have a wider choice than the IP student. They do the full pure science as well in their 4th-6th year granting them the ability to apply to Medicine if they do well. They also do economics and the arts subjects so as long as their academic results are good, they actually get a chance to go to the mainstream's choice of university courses.

For the majority they can further their training widely in any of the university of choice for the discipline they are keen in and
for those who want to pursue passionately in their talented areas, they can apply locally to:

For music:
NUS - The Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music
NAFA

For Visual Fine Arts(Bachelor & Masters degree):
NUS - School of Design and Environment
LaSalle Asia School of Arts
NAFA
Cavalry Italian Design School, Singapore
Raffles Design Institute
