Hi autolycus, what about GEP students with score of 252-253, who qualified for EEEIS/GE Grant, will they be put in the O level GE class or in the IP section ?

Hi ngbrdad,

A current ACSI boy wrote on another thread that all GEP boys and top scoring mainstream boys will go into the GEP classes. I think the GEP classes are all IP. http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=28579

From their website there is at least a GEP class in the O level section.
Even during GE branch talk they mentioned the same thing.

Oh I see. Why would they have a GEP class in the O level section? I would assume that all the GE boys would want to go IP.


I remember reading sometime ago that ACSI would be doing away with its SBGE programme leading up to the O levels. Have they started doing away with it?

Whatever info I have is from their site and GE briefing at Jan this year.
But it make sense for them to put the GE boys in the IP section.

Yes it does.

Because there are a lot of slack GEP boys who score under the non-GEP intake, actually.

Hi ngbrdad,


If u know yr DS chances of getting into IP-IB in ACSI is not guaranteed, would you choose ACSI or SJI instead. We r in almost similar situation.

Thank you.

Location wise ACSI is much nearer for us.
Much easier with transport option as well.

Any info on the daily assembly time for ACSI and SJI ?

Btw is your son from GEP ?

No, he's not. We'd expected a higher score but like yours, something must have gone wrong in the English paper. Not sure if can take any more \"shocks\" (if he can't get into IB then we have to worry again in Yr2) so may opt for safer option say SJI or RV. But all three schools have so different cultures. We stay in central so everywhere is far.

SJI places for IB in yr 3 is max 60 including students from outside.
ACSI places for IB in yr 3 is 100 from ACSI alone.

As for RV, the demand on Chinese is very siong.
