Thanks, Jennifer. Now I know another way to HCI.

MRT to Newton then take bus, there are 4 bus at that bus stop to HCI. 10-15min can get HCI.

I drive and send my son to HCI twice a week, actully any other parent stay at woodland also can share the car and send the kids alternately to HCI and NY. If drive, 6:20am-6:30am off will be fine.

For HCI. how much is the school fee(include misc?) every month, with and without EESIS?

Cheerfuldad:

Any parents here to share their boys' experiences about life in HCI? My DS is joining the big family next year.

- Is life really so stressful?
- Are the kids ranked according to the class they're in? Are their positions in class/standard disclosed at yearend?
- Are remedial/supp classes provided for weaker students?
- Do your kids reach home late (as in after 9pm) often?
- Are the boys rough (during orientation, do the seniors bully the juniors in ways that are demeaning/spiteful?)
- Are your kids generally happy (look forward to school).
- Are they often dead-tired from school activities?
- Are they snobs who compare the brands of their shoes/mobiles/laptops/games/cars etc..or even the places they visit?
- Heard that there're school buses that pick up the kids from east side. Any idea?
- Are parents allowed to drop off the kids within the school grounds(if it rains?)..Is there morning peak hour conjestion?
- Are they rebellious, rude and behave so high and mighty?

TIA

Hi cheerfuldad,
I'm flattered that you copied my qns from http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5815&start=0

but you're also plagiarising. There's a quote button for you to use if you find some posts you'd like to piggy back on.

Hi,

You can check the school fees here :
http://www.hci.edu.sg/ContentPage.asp?SID=16

There are differences between local / PR / foreign students.
The fees you see in the table for 2009 onwards, include school fees and miscellaneous fees.

With EESIS, Sec 1 and 2 local students basically do not need to pay any fees.

Hope this helps.

Thought EESIS does not cover misc fee? For those who have got EESIS do they have to pay misc fee monthly? and how much is that?

I understand that for GEP students, there are on a separate track and from the booklist the maths syllabus is different from the "others". any one knows if there is any disadvantage to the mainstream students as such? I understand in NUSHS there is no such differentiation over there - everyone is treated the same (from a former NUSHS student’s post). Anybody able to highlight something on this?

In DSA talk, after the session ends with Q&A, was told that GEP students will be separate from mainstream. The reason: they found that this year Y1 students cannot cope. Looks like it is true.

question - who cannot cope? GEP or the mainstream?

How come, HCI no Geo textbook, but got triple science in sec 1 instead?

(PS, that was the content of the book list they gave me)
