[quote=\"Frog\"]....well, my DD just keyed in NUSH, its her choice, and she is excited about going there next year, so support her decision.

Wow, that's great ! At least found someone that has the same passion as DS. He is going to choose NUSHS instead of HCI from his DSA Option and take on a route less travelled by all by putting NUSHS as his 1st choice. Hope he had made the right choice !

I think we should applaud our children for their risk-taking attitude and their independent mind. I know many kids choose schools based on where their circle of friends are going and which is viewed as more prestigious, so the fact that they have decided on NUSH despite what others have to say, shows a certain degree of maturity. Let's support them all the way![/quote]Thanks all for the encouragement ! I think DS is more brave than me to take the plunge ! Hope all that go to NUSHS will excel & enjoy their 6 years there ! :imcool:

Frog:

Yes seeing her passion for maths, having got her GCSE O-level maths distinction while in P5, and her ability to keep up with A-level maths, its an opportunity for her to accelerate her learning at NUSH.

Wow, your DD taking A level maths now ? No wonder she wants to go NUSHS, probably in Year 1 she can take on NUS modules already, no need to waste time, wonderful, it will be a pity if she goes elsewhere.

hi dagong99,

oh, mine is a so-called \"better\" neighbour school in Bt Panjang, mainstream, no GEP, just that my DS has this passion for Maths, yesterday he spent the whole day solving a Maths question in Maths Oasis magazine ... too bad, can't solve it, maybe Frong's DD can help

[phtthp]

why not pose the Maths question here ?

My DD probably got her Maths gene from her mom, she’s the one who prepared her for the GCSE Os…all within 10 month. My DW stop work to ‘home-schooled’ them till they entered P1, and they continued their Primary educ without outside tuition. I don’t think my DD’s school contributed much to her maths though. Most primary schools just cover the basic and expect students to look for help elsewhere when they cannot cope. My DW only begin to give tuition to supplement our income when the Children were more stable in school. Guess she is now helping other kids to cope with their school works as well…she’s doing well in this as she’s got a waiting list of students.

[phtthp]

from now on, your wife is going to have an even longer wait list of students at your door step. from today onwards, she is going to be highly sought after ! Because word of mouth spreads like fire very fast, since your daughter is a proven real life example having obtained GCSE O level Maths at P5, within 10 months! gosh! indeed, it's a miracle!


your wife's sacrficed her job + her persevering hardwork & sweat in the past in teaching & grooming your daughter so well had paid off... she is now reaping reward! No amount of $ can buy this joy! :rahrah:

Your DD obviously know what she is doing (and what NUSH can offer her). With her passion in maths and if she choose Maths or Computing (in future careers ) she can finish NUSH within 4 years (min) and joined the Univ by 17/18 year old. A few of past NUSH students have gone these path. 2 of them have completed NUS maths n computing with First class honours and are now persuing PHD at foreign Univ on scholarship. Juz for info.

But the NUSH website states that students will not graduate from NUSH in less than 6 years. They can take NUS modules but will stay the full 6 years in NUSH.

Quoted from NUSH site: http://www.highsch.nus.edu.sg/content.php?id=aab3238922bcc25a6f606eb525ffdc56

4. Will NUS High School students get advanced placement at NUS?
Yes. The NUS High School curriculum makes provisions for students at Year 5 and Year 6 to read NUS modules directly or to enrol in project/research modules for credits. These credits will be recognised as NUS modular credits when the students seek admission to NUS. Take note that NUS High School students will not graduate in less than 6 years. They will stay for a full 6 years and take on NUS modules if they fulfill the pre-requisites to do so. [/quote]

What website say is one thing. On record, there are actually 3/4 past NUSH students who \"drop out\" by 3.5 to 4 years b'cos they are so advanced to complete undergraduate modules. The school has no choice but allow them to \"graduate\" to NUS proper. That's why Dr Hang said in one of the parent talk. These 4 may or may not have gotten the NUSH Diploma (not to sure, need to verify).
