my gal will be P1 next year, I'm just curious is it the school will randomly place the children in the different classes?

Some schools are known to hold \"sorting\" tests to sort the children into classes. I'm not sure Ai Tong does that, but Ai Tong is part of the Hokkien Huay Kuan and my son's school which is Konghwa is part of that organization. To my knowledge, there were no such \"sorting\" tests for Konghwa as my son remained in the initial class that he was placed in for the 1st 2 years.

ATS does not has sorting test. P1 and P2 same class. Streaming based on P2 results, split class in P3. Then another streaming based on P4 results. That means, P3 & P4 same class. P5 and P6 same class. I hope I still remember it correctly.

Yes, there is no sorting class…my girl is currently in P2 there and they will split when in P3

Not sure whether this information holds true. According to a parent whom daughter is in Aitong P1 now, she said that the class allocation is based on the phase you registered your child i.e. Phase 1, 2A, 2B, 2C… Her daughter was admitted via waiting list. Hence, was in the last class.


My daughter is going to P1 Aitong next year. Cheers.

That sounds exactly the same as Konghwa.

thanx for all the info …


it’s good to hear that there’s no sorting done, at least then all children get a fair chance to excel somehow.

really hope my child will enjoy her school life in ATS from next year … and same for all the new kids joining too …

have one more question to ask …


attached to the school confirmation letter, there is form for a pre-primary chinese hanyu pinyin class to enroll this year. i’m wondering if anyone is sending their child to it. my child is already learning hanyu pinyin in her K2 class now, so is it necessary to attend the class the school suggest?

is it once the school start next year, the teacher expects the children to know hanyu pinyin already? this sounds scary actually …

I think that is what is implied. At least you have 5 more months to prepare.

The lesson is organize by the Alumni. I did enrol my boy into the course too but he didn't really learn anything during the lesson. Maybe is bcos he dislike Chinese.
