Methodist Girls' School (Secondary)

My dd is in MGS SBC program, she doesnt think that people are biased against non-Christians. Biasness or Discrimination is not one of Christian's teaching.


My hubby and I like MGS for its culture and well-rounded education. My dd qualifies for RGS but we discouraged her from choosing it due to my bad experience with the school during the DSA. Some parents may say we are stupid, but I think education is not all about scoring As, you need to balance, character building is important too. I'm not saying that RGS does not have character building programs (i'm not sure) but I have very bad experience during the DSA which forms my opinion about the culture there (I'm not sharing). I do not want my daughter to grow up in these sorts of environment and thinking that it is fine. (Btw, my daughter was from RGPS)

hello Lynn,

I just found out that MGS-IP is doing IBDP. It's kinda late. We didn't know so didn't DSA, what a waste. Never mind... Well you see, we were rather intoxicated by this GEP thing. So we were looking at only those 7 schools with SBGE.

We are willing to forgo offers from schools we DSA if we can find one that is student centred and holistic in student development. In fact, up till now, I still cannot find a school we like our kid to be in. Unlike other parents, we are not interested in a school just because it is the top but the school must fit my kid's learning profile and also be able to develop her in character.

I visited the MGS. I saw this bible verse on the wall at the school entrance from 1st Corinthians (I'm a free thinker). It talked about the importance of love. I told hubby, this is the 1st school I come across that teaches love, it's sound. I'm yet to know more and wish to know more about MGS. I hope you can PM me and tell me more about the school, both positive and negative. It's 6 years of dd's life and we want to do as much research in school hunting as possible to ensure she has a great learning journey.

Hi All,


Can anyone tell me whether if my dd wants to get into SBC class, does she needs to take a written test? Her score is 254.

Thanks!

Hi G Tan, I wonder if you found out anything different but I had understood the MEP to be catered for the 4 year O Level track. My daughter is starting IP in 2013 too. If it is possible to combine IP and MEP (need to confirm with school) the student should have a very strong interest in music as they expect MEP students to commit to a music CCA, unless the student is in a school sports team. I decided to let my daughter pursue her music outside school.
