      No, you're wrong.


      There is IP in ACS Independent. MGS' starts its IP track next year which leads to an IB Diploma in ACS Independent.

      Anyone can join any IP school in Year 5 - RI, HCI, ACSI etc.

      We're talking about IP as in a 6 year thru train programme. That's why we're talking about the SCGS IP leading to a new JC, MGS IP leading to ACS Independent etc.

      Melodies:

      Err..

      Methodist vs SCGS
      IP in ACS international (NOT ACSI) vs IP in New JC

      As for the joining established IB Programme at ACSI, everyone from all schools can join la in year 5 if good and accepted...not just limited to MGS.. SCGS also can join in yr 5. No?


      Other considerations:

      Methodist vs Secular school
      Established IB Programme at ACSI vs New JC

      [/quote]


      Hi jtoh, with regards to the 6 year through train concept, do you know if it also means absolutely no change after 4 years, eg. To \"upgrade\" to a better JC or if the student turns out to be more suitable for IB vs A level?

        Thanks for clarification!


        In other word, the current sec 1 student can join IP when Sec3 in 2014.
        Beginning next year, all MGS students who scored > 250 will be joining Sec 1 IP.

        MGS has not established IP yet and will be starting IP next year. Their sec 3 students who will join IP in 2014 will be the first batch to complete the IP program in 2017 while SCGS/SNG/CHS will be starting IP next year in their own school too and will be consolidated in the new holding school in Bishan in 2017 in year 5.


        MandyMummy:
        MGS takes in first batch of Sec 1 IP in 2013; sec 3 in 2014.

          You can always apply to go to another school in Year 5, even if you're already in an IP programme.

                  ACSI generally stands for ACS Independent. Think you not only typed wrongly, you also get the acronym wrongly which resulted in confusion.

                    Yes usually when people mention ACSI it's referring to ACS Independent, the one with dual track IP/IB and Express courses located at Dover area πŸ˜„

                        πŸ˜„ Not sure. I will just address it as it is. Maybe those in ACS International can better advise us. πŸ˜‰

                        I think it is located around Holland area.
                        Sorry not very familiar with this school. Perhaps can get more infor on its website
                        Its Sch fees are $21K+ per year for Year1-4 and $24K+ per year for Year5-6 excluding Misc and registration Fees :yikes: :moneyflies: so definitely not under my radar πŸ˜‰
