SCGS VS MGS
-
Thanks, jtoh. We prefer schools that are academically strong. Just wonder if i compare River valley with SCGS, which one is stronger? RV seems more economical if the two schools are equally strong academically. We are australians so the fee at scgs would soar to around $1000 per month. Can you advise?

Is your dd taking Chinese? HCL is compulsory at RVH and the standard of Chinese is rather high there. If I'm not mistaken you need to meet a minimum grade for Chinese to be promoted each year.
RVH is a SAP school so there is a strong focus on Chinese literature, culture and I think there are exchange programmes with schools in China. So if you're interested in immersing yourself in a bilingual environment with good exposure to Chinese and China, RVH would have an advantage over SCGS.
SCGS has a good Talent Development Programme for its top 2-3 classes. There are exchange programmes with schools in the US, HK etc. Read here for more details: http://www.scgs.edu.sg/content/view/31/36/
The two schools are very different. It really depends on your dd's preference and inclination. And how deep your pocket is.

Haha, a deep pocket will solve all the puzzles.
Thanks very much, jtoh. You are being very helpful and now i have a clearer mind to make the decision. Thanks again. -
You're welcome.

I think what Edureach was trying to say is that of the SCGS and MGS students who opted to go into ACSI after their O levels, the ex-SCGS girls fared better than the ex-MGS girls.
That's actually quite amusing, since the statistical sample is very different in size, so they are not comparable. Another way to think about it is that it's generally more likely that MGS girls get into ACS(I) than SCGS girls, so the SCGS girls that do get in are better on average. In our first batch we had ONE RI boy; statistical sample of 1. Haha. -
Hi All,
Does SCGS or MGS offer DSA choir? -

:rotflmao: Just wanted to point out that the original statement was made by Edureach and not me hor. I was merely rephrasing the comment for 'haha'.jtoh:

Sorry, jtoh! Should have identified the original poster. I'm still sitting on the data and I was wondering where Edureach got data from...

No problem, autolycus.
I like your eg of statistical sample of ONE.
