True, especially when competition nearby, training three or four times a week. They dont care whether tomorrow have exam or not. Practise…practise…all the time. Must have passion lah. Otherwise sec 3/4 will loose momentum.

SOTA offers 100% of its admission via DSA. Registration for the Talent Academy 2013 opens on 3 January 2013 at http://www.sota.edu.sg.


My dd demonstrate a great passion for music and was fortunately admitted into SOTA in 2012 via DSA (Heard only 1 in 5 got in!). She is in her year 2 now and I'm happy to see her grow into an independent and responsible kid today. Although the school hours are longer and more demanding than mainstream school, I feel that as long as she has a passion for her art form, she will voluntarily work hard and survive. She has to strive hard to complete her math/science/lit/history/geography/english/etc homework in between classes, as she has to make time to attend compulsory concerts, and long practice hours in school. In addition to the load, she also got into SYCO this year and has additional 2 more tedious night orchestra practices a week.

So to parents, if your child demonstrates a great passion for any art form, visual arts, music, dance, theatre, do attend SOTA symposium. It is a very good school.

Dear all, well said sohmin. I totally agree with you. My dd is in Year 1 Dance n she really like the school very much . The students in SOTA will have to cope with Academic subjects n individual Art form but they enjoying themselves by studying Hard n playing Hard. Cos thy have the passion for their art form. So they will do well.

After long hours in Sch , my dd has to continue on 2 nights of her ballet class n ends very late at 10 pm BUT she never complain and are very supportive of her passion.

Any parents have any doubt about SOTA , they should attend the OPEN SYMPOSIUM to find out more about the Sch .
If you’re worry that SOTA only produce Artistic people , u are wrong , they produce a overall package student that will be ready for the new society .
Just look at their 1st IB results through their websites to find out .

I have also only heard good things about SOTA. These specialized schools including Sports School, NUS High are very welcome additions to the school scene and all these schools have so far proven to be top quality schools doing a very good job for a very good bunch of children. Parents must tap these specialized schools if they see the passion and interest their child has. No child who attends such schools will ever lose out but instead will have an enriching experience.

DSA is offered to selected CCAs (sports, performing arts), academic excellence, leadership. I'm not aware of DSA being offered to uniformed groups.

If you are looking at \"top schools\", there probably isn't any.
However, in moe website, there is a list of schools, some of them their niche area is in the uniform groups.
If these are your target schools, you may go to the school website to find out more.

You can only use Scouts during appealing period. Lets say the minimum aggregate to enter xx school is 260, and yr kid scored 258-259, can use scout to boost the appeal process. Show the EAGLES award certificate.

Thanks for your replies.


What about DSA under Chinese Dance? Nanyang Girls? RGS doesn’t seem to offer this?
