Regarding independent JC Sch fees, please note your ESIS is only $2400/annum so will not cover fully your JC Sch fees. Even if you have other MOE scholarships on top of ESIS eg HSP, BSP, LEP, please note that you will not receive 2x of $2400/annum. You will still be capped at $2400/annum.

However,
the location of MI is at Bukit Batok. So, if u happen to stay extremely far, say.

Eg.

staying in Tampines or in Pasir Ris (extreme East),
u may consider renting a one bedroom, much closer towards Bukit Batok.
Otherwise, the travelling up and down, to and fro 2 ways,
from Pasir Ris / Tampines to Bukit Batok everyday,
from Monday to Friday,
and vice versa,

is going to make you, very tired.

Because
there is no hostel, no boarding school, inside MI. And you are going to travel to and Fro, up and down, study not 2 years, but 3 years for your A-level, in MI.

Poly around 3k a year. How much is JC? Also around $30/mth?

Still a lot cheaper than Poly right? Assuming the child is still undecided on which career.[/quote]

Sorry, no more notes etc. She took her A levels in 2016. Yes, MI is the only school which offers MOB. I think most students who are interested in Commerce/Business at this level tend to go to polys now rather than take A levels.

My daughter was in Arts stream (H2-Lit, Geog, MOB; H1-Maths), and took MOB as her 3rd H2 because she didn't want to take Econs, which would have been the more usual choice. Commerce stream students usually take H2-MOB, Accounts, Econs; H1-Maths.

There are 2 papers, with a case study/data response in each, some short questions, and one essay in Paper 2.

There are too few students for publishers to print the 10-yr series, but the teachers will give sample papers for practice. The recommended textbook was:
P Stimpson and A Farquharson, Cambridge International AS & A Level Business Studies Coursebook, 2nd edition, 2010, Cambridge University Press, ISBN 9780521126564.
I think they specially ordered the books for the students. If you look at the SEAB document I linked to earlier, there is more info, and a list of resources at the end.

Hope this helps.

My daughter studied Arts in MI, graduating in 2016. She is now in NTU. All the reasons you give for favouring MI are valid ones, I feel. It's true that the entry rate to local universities can't compare with the top JCs, but at around 30%, it's similar to some JCs. The extra year is great boon to those who don't like the fast pace and cramming of the JC course. There are some students (not sure how many) who do make it to NUS Law; not many, but it's not impossible. And you can always go to poly after your A levels if you decide that university is not for you, or you find that there is a poly course that you really are interested in.


The whole idea of \"wasting\" time is something that the older generation of Singaporeans get stuck in. I suppose in the days when getting a job early to support the family was crucial, and people had shorter careers, it was a valid concern. But if your family doesn't require your income so soon, what's another year, or even a few more years? And you are supposed to work till at least 67 now! I think it's better to go slowly and achieve more than rush and achieve less. I believe that my daughter would not have got the same results had she tried to do A levels in 2 yrs, so we are very glad we decided on MI.

thanks so much for the input! i have placed MI Arts as one of my top choices and this has allowed me to be assured that i have made the right decision thank you again !

Hello! Anyone in/was in MI and took the commerce stream? I would like to know more about Management of Business and how it’s like. I can’t find much information about it online.
