Hi stressedoutmummy,
Chapel sessions at ACSI are the default, but you can write in to be excused.

Just curious, any reason why you are only looking at boys' schools?

I think there would be some boys who want to move to other JC such as RJC or hwachong after O-level. ^^

Die hard A level fans who don't fancy IB ?

Some prefer the A level system over IB. So even with excellent O level results they move over to ACJC or better JCs.

Hi Clayman,

I want my boy to concentrate in an all boys school and not to be distracted with ‘bgr’ problems. He was in a co-ed primary school, and did not really like to interact with girls - as he says that the girls tend to dominate in discussions or projects and the boys could not voice out their opinion.

Hi, stressedoutmummy...


Well, ACS(I) is only co-ed in Years 5 and 6 — as it was up to 1976 when it was ACS at Barker Road, and as it has been at Dover Road since 2006.

Hi autolycus,

Yes, co-ed in Y5-Y6 is fine with me… hopefully by then, he will be more matured and won’t be ‘bullied’ by girls. My only problem now is the distance that he has to travel to and from school. We are also looking at VS but it is also quite far. RI is mummy’s dream school as it is near to our home, but alas…his T-score is 250…

Maybe you can check whether there is a school bus service ?

Hi ngbrdad,


Yup, i m trying to look for school bus service for ACSI before I can decide. VS is still quite alright as DH can drop him off on the way to work (at the eastern side). But ACSI is way out of the way for him. However, I was told that the programmes at ACSI is good, so I do not want to rule out ACSI just because of the distance factor.
