      Any students or parents can share their year one results so we can know how the academic standard the NUSH year one students have?

        Thanks dagong99. Will seriously consider. Do you know if we try HCL in the 1st year, if 2nd year want to change to normal chinese, it will be alright ?


        Oh, I'm not too sure about this as DS1 & I are quite determined to 'finish off' MT at Year 4 so that DS1 can concentrate on his triple Science as core subjects. DS1 doesn't want MT to affect his Year 5 & 6 results. He's rather weak in languages, now relying on his Math & Science subjects to 'pull up' his CAP. šŸ˜‰

        Hi
        You're able to drop HMT with HOD's consent as far as i know.
        The other way is to do so badly they kick you out of it šŸ˜›

          And what are the topics they learn.

            DSA Phase 2 - PSLE results are out. Our DD managed to get through. Such a relief for her. I hope others have succeeded, too.

                  The textbooks are highschool/college level textbooks from the US. Very well written and easy to understand.
                  Topics learned vary a lot. here's a rough guide for you.

                  Hope this helps. If there's anythign you can pm me šŸ™‚

                    NUS High School Diploma

                    It is quite well recognized. All the major universities in UK/US recognise it. We have graduates already in havard, MIT, oxford, UCL, etc. All the local universities also recognize it. I think you can contact the school for a complete list of the universities that recognize our diploma.
