Can I check if students at NUS High require to bring their own notebook to school? If yes, can it be an iMac or must it be window-based notebook?

What tuition centre do all of u recommend for students at NUSH?thanks!

No. Dun think there is any tuition centre that caters for syllabus at NUSHS. The teachers are your best tutors.

Yes and in fact, you need it frequently for your presentations. No restrictions on type of notebook, you will also get free wifi.

Hi


can anyone share…
1. How long has this programme existed?
2. Is the NUS high school diploma ‘equivalent’ to any of this - GCE A level/IB Diploma/Grade 12/Local Poly’s Diploma?

My DS will be joining NUSH next year, he got CO via DSA. I need to understand on the 3rd language.


1. is it has to be decided when PSLE results are out.
2. is it a paper that students have to pass to get diploma.
3. can they just join the 3rd language just for getting to know a new language.

please advise.

The school started in 2005 if I dun remember wrongly. You can always check via it's website. It's equivalent to A level & provides entry to all local uni & most top overseas uni. There is info on which overseas uni in this thread earlier on if you like to check.

1. On the result slip, it will state if you are eligible for 3rd Lang & you need to indicate your acceptance. There will be a briefing on matriculation day if I dun remember wrongly. There will be clear instructions on how to go about it.
2. No.
3. Yes of course but advisable if kid got interest bcos it will be exams & grades given.

Hi, can anyone tell me whether NUSH takes kids who have poor Chinese grades, as in just passing? How is Chinese taught and assessed there? Will it pull down the scores that are used for university entrance?
