Anglo-Chinese School (Primary)

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).

May I know when is the P1 Orientation usually held? Is it normally in Oct or Nov before the school holiday starts?

I have my sons studying at ACS(P) and it is important to understand that the school does not believe in focusing on studies alone, which is fantastic! The boys are guided holistically and given opportunities to develop their leadership and thinking abilities.

Parents should have faith in the principal and the school. I never sent my sons there because of its academic results. If that was parent's intention, then the parent was misguided. ACS stands for far more than good grades. There are other primary schools that focus on good grades. There is enough information out there for parent's to choose the school that fits with what the parents want. Do not assume every school treats its children in the same way. Each school is different. Choose ACS for its strengths.
