I think they thought about having IB together with A levels some yrs back, but the plan did not go thru. Too much resources req.

Wow, so greedy....everything \"bao ga liao\"! :shock:
Soon, there will be 1 Raffles providing IP, IB, O Levels to cater to all the kids in Singapore and all the parents' dream (or kids' dream) to be in Raffles will come true! :rotflmao:

No nd time to draft letters - should be standard template. Way before they said decisions is made within a few hours. But then later they said due to overwhelming response results will be known by 28 dec. to buy them time. Haiz…

Ya, very complicated if open up IB. Must have separate teachers, separate exams papers for each because the syllabus are so vastly different.

Actually they can’t offer ib that’s why from next year all graduating rafflesians Will get a raffles diploma which takes into account a more rounded education ie cca, community service which acs I already has.

Is there any press statement or are these just rumours? :evil:

Raffles diploma is mentioned in the school open house. Am not sure if it’s different syllabus. Acs I would be able to tell since they have both the IB n A level track.
