Anglo Chinese Family of Schools

Both school esp Primary @ Barker are just difficult to get in. ACS PRIMARY has 8 Classes for P1 whereas Junior has 9 classes cos Junior has a biggeR premise.
ACS PRIMARY premise has BRMC(Church), BRMCK(Kindergarten), Primary School & Secondary School.
ACS JUNIOR occupys whole building.
For ACS fans, better try ACS Junior as balloting result always shown abt a class more for vacancies. 240(Pri) vs 270(Junior)
Good Luck to all parents who registrating children this year!

Latest 2009 Pri. One Registration results: 80% of the vacancies at ACS (Pri) are filled up by Phase 2A2. From Phase 2B onwards, ACS left with 26 vacancies, all subjected to balloting. Other primary schools with 80% take-up rate by phase 2A2 are Henry Park and Nanyang Pri.

I have obtained directly from both ACS Primary & ACSJunior last year PSLE results. ACS Pri results definitely better than Junior. Primary had done well for all 4 subjects. Their overall result for Chinese is also 2% above National Average

Naturally, pls also understand that ACS Primary has GEP programme. That's why results better.
Just like if you check Nan Yang Pri naturally PSLE results is superb cos they have the most GEP classes. Thanks
Where did u obtain the results from may i ask? Would like to take a look. Thanks! :!: -
ACSJ has Thoburn Programme too. They have this programme to retain their own students from going to Primary(GEP) if their boys are accepted into GEP. Hence,in my opinion, Junior results are definitely comparable to Primary.
Both schools gave me their 2008 PSLE results at my request. Just send them an e-mail, they will happily accede to your request. OR, get the Primary’s result from any existing student, they are given a copy at the start of the year. -
From my understanding the Thoburn programme is an after school programme and they do more projects rather than more advanced syllbus work. So not really comparable to GEP at all. Can someone who knows better please enlighten?

Turquoise, I got these 2 cents worth of info from my niece's private tutor, who is also a current teacher in Junior. Approach Junior directly, I'm sure they will enlighten you

Hi!
ACSJ Thoburn Programme is not after school programme. They stay back in school only Once a week. :idea:
They can opt to be in either GEP or Thoburn Programme. Those who r intellectually talented and eligible for Thoburn must based on overall performance and teacher’s recommendation. A few schools are following suit e Thorburn programme. Eg: MGS,Sophia Blackmore Programme.

It's not correct to say that the kids can choose to be in GEP or Thoburn. Those who qualify for GEP can choose to remain in ACJS to do Thoburn, thereby giving up their GEP seats. But not all the boys in Thoburn qualified for GEP.
Similarly for MGS's Sophia Blackmore programme. Of the 30+ girls in SBC, only fewer than 10 qualified for GEP. The rest didn't make it through the selection test.
