Hi princess777, I also have the same question. Are you deciding for this year registration? Or next year, like my case? My kid is now K1.

[princess777]

thanks , in term of academic and programme, any idea is there any open house for both schools ?

There will be balloting within 1km for Greenridge and within 2km for Beacon last year. But for me, both is within 1km... I will choose Greenridge for my P2C... But hope no need lar...

not a matter of which is better, but rather, which one you prefer.
Beacon is relatively new and is supposed to be an IT school - incorporating IT into teaching. Greenridge is a more 'traditional' school.
which you like?

my friend, a Teacher, told me that Beacon is the future school of tomorrow. She said Beacon is a good school.

Beacon is an IT school, and the 'Future School of Tomorrow', i think it is a slogon for the type of school Beacon's curriculum teaching is based on. parents who look for 'holistic','innovative' etc teaching and don't mind overlooking the uncertainty of how that will translate to academic performance (beacon is a relative new school, no?), beacon should be interesting.
one point to note is that the teachers' proficiency in handling technology for teaching will affect how well students learn. but sure thing is that students will pay attention ah! it must be like games them to them! sounds suitable for my active little boy (but i stay no where near them).
