Hi everyone!


My daughter in P1 this year at Horizon P1 Inquirer. I like the CCP programmes that this school has but not the quality of teaching in their daily work.

Hi willtohelp,


Thanks for your feedback.

May I know what does p1 learnt for the first term? Why do you chose Horizon instead of other school?

Do the kids separate according to their abilities?

Thank you

Hi all,


Could anyone share the teaching approach conducted in MTS, Edgefield and Horizon?

And, what is the class size for P1 in these schools?

Thanks.

hi all,


new here. i was trying to do some surveys on neighbouring pri schools in punggol as well. My boy is going in pri 1 in 1.5 yrs time too. quite dilemma. I heard about Mee Toh Pri, seems like they set quite high standards, greendale & horizon is quite a new sch, abit risky i think. But i do know abit from Edgefield Primary Principal, Mr Willy Tan. It ain’t surprising that the school academic is getting better year after year as i was his student 15yrs ago. I think it will be in good hands if i place my boy in his school, his results speak for itself.

Imagine i got red marks for Maths from pri sch all the way to Sec 3, i got a A2 for N levels, his teaching method works very differently i would say. He knows how to motivate students very well. He worth my vote if you ask me which school is better currently.

Anybody knows where does the principal of Horizon comes from ? Heard that the principal was from a famous school before.
