All About Primary Schools' Balloting History

[JonC]

The education system here follow the syllabus determined by Education Ministry, the end exam is also the same. The only different is the syllabus is taught by different school using different recommended books and by different teachers.


There are only popular/famous/reputed school with longer and better history of producing "quality" students and those newer/shorter history so call neighbourhood schools. Your proper school probably refering to reputed schools since your child is from a reputed school in Shanghai.

Hi, JonC:

Thanks for the info. it’s good to know before the decision made. Yes, my daughter currently studys in a reputable school in Shanghai. She will get to middle school next year in terms of Chinese Ministry of Education system. I was planning to send her to Singapore for further education, however I don’t know if international students only can get in the neighbour schools in stead of the reputable schools.
Would you please refer me the names of good schools which are suitable for international students, it doesn’t mean the top one as Raffles’ girl school as I heard. We may rent a apartment first, so no problem for the distance.
Thanks!
Yvette

hi tina2001


once you have shortlisted the schools (reputable or neighbourhood schools), maybe you could give them a call and talk to the vice principal or principal to check on the procedures.

i am sure the schools would need your child to sit for some entrance exams.

we did likewise before we moved back to singapore.

cheers

p.s. do you mind sharing which school in shanghai your child is attending because i am thinking of sending mine over.

[Tina2001]

Got it! I do appreciate all your help although I didn't get in the proper forum. It's so kind of you.

My daughter is currently studying at Shanghai Jian Xiang primary school, I definitely know all the schools in SH if you're interested to know more details. Please feel free to contact me at email: [email protected] if you have any questions about \"Living in SH\".
Cheers!
