Hi parents, I would like to find out more about DSA, IP vs IB. Can any kind souls share some information with me? Many thanks. Trying to find out more , in order to gauge whether I should try for DSA next year or not or whether he stands any chance. My son has won 2 science Olympiad, 2 math Olympiad this year, prefect, won bronze for NSG this year. He was topped in his cohort past few years. Appreciate some advices. Thanks a million.

I think it depends on where you want to focus. If trying DSA for science or math, your son will likely be competing with others that also won Olympiad for math/science. If trying for DSA leadership, competing with others that are also prefects or active in external communities roles. If trying for DSA sport, others students may have won gold. And i think there maybe DSA domain obligations that the child must fulfill for 4 years if the place is offered via DSA. Since he consistently topped his cohort, he can get into any non specialised school via S1 posting instead of trying for DSA, and can also help others by giving the DSA selection slot to them .

I am just making plan for next year DSA but not familiar with the system…Lets say the child manage to get in to DSA in an IP sch… But what if her actual PSLE results is far from the AL score requirement stated in MOE website example AL 4 to 6. Can she still enter the school?

For the kids who accepted WL or CO for the o level track, what happens when the kids results can qualify for the IP track? Does the school offer a choice to convert the child to IP track or the child would have to remain in the o level track?

No you cant. It is a covenant regardless of the performance at the PSLE. Of course, auto lapsed if one score above 22. However, the child can apply for lateral transfer to IP stream at Sec 2.
