NUS High School of Mathematics and Science (Diploma)

UncleLim:

My son found the science material at the dsa camp difficult. He is not a science person and was looking for maths related quizes etc. He said at one stage he saw the assessor mark almost everyone in his group Zero. He seemed quite discouraged and thought maybe he is not cut out for the school anymore....

My boy mentioned tt Physics experiment is tough...he enjoyed Bio & esp Chemistry experiment. Do not be discouraged as we never know how they assess the candidates & who knows....your son is one of the few without zero in his grp? So...cheer up & all the best in the coming prelim & PSLE...ganbatte! :rahrah:

Thanks, cylg. I think my son will enjoy NUSH as he is one of those who \"wants the truth\" rather than what his textbook says. This streak often cost him dearly because he disagreed with ALL the MCQ answers. As to whether he is suitable for this curriculum, I leave it to the school's selection process. Que sera, sera!

My daughter is a mainstream kid with no impressive academic track record in Maths, but has a lot of passion in Science. We too are wondering what her chance is.

I should join you in singing Que sera sera too UncleLim.

U never know, only the school knows what they are looking for in an applicant. Anyway, good luck to both your DS & DD. Hope they make it!

Thanks DVL :). We will accept the outcome, whatever it is.

This is a cool thread. I know so much about the school just by reading all the previous posts! Will come back to check frequently.

hey, I’m new in this thread. I need some info on NUSH. My Ds like NUSH. However, I’m quite skeptical of him going to the school. It’s because the school is focusing on Math & Science. He might think that he likes Math now. But what if he realise that his strength is not in Math when he grows older???

Here are my questions. Hope that someone can help to clear my doubts…
a) Is it too young to narrow the choices for the kid at such a young age? I thought IP school is better because of holistic educatin.
b) What are the choices for the child for entry to University? Must they continue with Math & Science faculty? Can they choose others like business or accountancy?
Appreciate some advise here… thanks in advance.

well, if he wants to go there very badly, and he's working towards getting in, then u shdn't worry too much.

Have read the news that the NUS high performed very well in maths, physics, chemistry , biology Olympiad competition .

The school seems in the right track. Keep it up.

My advice is to all those kids out there who really passion for any of the sciences or mathematics and have seriously consider their future careers in one of those areas - NUSH is really a good place to start in preparation for those future goal.

cheers !!

Totally agreed with you, walterp. DS is in Year 1 - the so called foundation year, based on his current Maths & Science curriculum and syllabus, I must say NUSH is building a very strong foundation. I find it quite amazing at the depth at which the Science topics are covered, definitely deeper than \"O\" level. How the school stretch the kids is another story!
