For SST, they teach more advance than other ''o'' level school and other IP schools. For example Hwa Chong and RI.

Really?!
Then it must be really stressful there. :scared:

Wow. If more difficult than RI and hci. I am sure it should be the most difficult to get in? Any idea if the cut off is higher than 260 for psle?

From what I understand it is geared more towards polytechnics. So a lot of hands on.

Applied Learning is pervasive throughout SST's 4-year curriculum. It forms the core of the teaching and learning approach in the SST and creates learning opportunities for students to draw connections between the concepts taught in the classroom and real-world applications.

At Year 1 and 2, students will take the following subjects: English Language, Mother Tongue, Mathematics, Science, Integrated Humanities and Art, Design, Media & Technology (ADMT).

At Year 3 and 4, students will take a combination of conventional and applied subjects. He may take conventional subjects such as English, Mother Tongue, Mathematics, Additional Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Humanities (e.g. SS + Geog) together with one or two Applied Subjects such as Design Studies, Fundamentals of Electronics, Media Studies, Biotechnology and Environmental Science & Technology.

The following are the key distinguishing features of the SST curriculum:

For SST. they 're just received students 100% by DSA only. About the COP, about 245 plus. And NUS High School 90% DSA and 10% post PSLE. COP for 10% students must be higher than other schools like RI and Hwa Chong. Last year COP for this 10% of 200 students : 264 unbelieveable.

McLaren, are you a current student at SST or a parent of an SST student?

[McLaren]

No, SST is my son’s dream school. Hopefully his dream will be come true one day. And before that I really have a many questions about this school but after Parents Seminar and Open House, no doubt it really very suitable for his learning style and his interest. For me, his opinions is more important.

I hope McLaren you better get your facts correct rather than just trying to confuse people who are genuinely using this forum for getting information. My neighbour son is the first batch who get in through DSA and only get 230. There is no point of comparing to other schools like RI and HCI as SST is clearly a specialised school, who does O level, while RI and HCI does A level. It is also a well known facts that NUS High give a diploma but SST give O level. There is no better school than other. Everyone using this forum to get the best and correct information about the schools. I hope you give a valuable and accurate information rather than trying to compare to other schools. :stompfeet:
