Anglo-Chinese School (Primary)

Yes… that’s true. When I called to ACS (J), same info. was conveyed to me. They do not have PV anymore.

My son is in P4 and from P1 till now, there is never a remedial class for all subjects. Whereas, for my girls who went/go to neighbourhood school, they have remedial lessons 3x a week. And lots of homework to completed. I don’t see that in ACS, my son is always so free that he watches tv all afternoons. I am getting worried. Is the school doing enough to ensure the boys are ready for PSLE when the time comes?

How is your son progress? If your son is doing well than you need not have to worry. Just put your trust in the school.

Problem is he is the borderline case. Not too bad for him to get teacher's attention to be called up for remedial. It is still passable for him in P4, but come P5 which is a big jump in the difficulty, I am afraid he will not be able to do well.

I hope that he has a genuine and caring teacher to guide him in his studies. Anyway, do not depend too much on the school. I know there are many others who worry and feel the same like you.

My son is in ACS P too. I am really concerned about the academic focus, or lack of, in the school. It appears that based on PSLE aggregate scores, the academic standards are dropping overall.


There should be more emphasis on at least maintaining a decent academic standard, discipline and values (e.g. punctuality). It certainly doesn’t help when you have a principal that does not see fit to pay a bit more attention to studies and doesn’t appear to keep time very well (based on all the parent talks, orientation that we’ve encountered him thus far).

No, you can't. Must studied that particular Primary school, then will be eligible to apply under 2(A).
