I am considering sending my son to AES next year for the Express stream. Now that your children have been in AES for one year, may I know how you find the school please? Thank you.

]]>https://forum.kiasuparents.com/post/2004088https://forum.kiasuparents.com/post/2004088Wed, 25 Nov 2020 12:29:47 GMT<![CDATA[Reply to Assumption English School on Thu, 06 Aug 2020 17:38:31 GMT]]>This is such a late reply, but I'll post either way for those who are interested to know more.


I attended AES from 2013-2016, and am now matriculating into NTU this year.

I never had any serious issues throughout my years of studying in AES. I scored 195 for my PSLE, and was placed in the Express stream.

Throughout my entire 4 years, of course there were rowdy students, but I knew to not be influenced by them and steered clear of such company, hence had little to no issue with falling into bad habits. I believe part of this was due to my upbringing, where I was guided and occasionally lectured by my father since young (even as a toddler) as to why certain behaviours weren't ideal. Of course, no child is the same, but I'm firm on the belief that parents cautioning their child and watching out for them from the start plays a crucial role. It ingrains the child with fundamental morals, and as an example, even now, I refrain from saying and having the mindset of \"I''ll give you once I don't want anymore\" in regards to sharing food because I remember vividly my parents lecturing me when I said it as a toddler. So, parents, don't magically assume as long as bad company is within a 9-feet radius that your child will be corrupted. Teach them well, and pray for the best for them to have taken these lessons to heart, and that hopefully they're aware and mature enough to guide themselves well. No one guides as well as themselves, after all. Of course, with particularly stubborn and at-risk children, more forceful intervention may be needed.

Almost every teacher that taught me genuinely cared and were genuinely passionate about their work. There were some that didn't teach what was needed as well as others, but none were nasty/rude. I had a sad episode in secondary 2, and wrote it in my class journal. Next thing I knew, I was called on my mobile phone by my English teacher who had read it, and wanted to make sure I was alright. I was fortunate enough to have teachers that were joyful, caring and able to connect with the students. The entire class was comfortable enough to occasionally joke around with them, and yet respected them enough to stay silent during lessons. I nearly fainted once during foot drill because of my monthly cycle and I had not eaten enough that day, and my teacher immediately rushed me to the side and gave me biscuits, all while angrily lecturing me to remember to \"eat double the portion\" during my cycle.

They did their best to encourage us to study hard, and were genuinely disappointed (some even cried) when we showed a lack of trying. I cannot say the same for the teachers now, since it has been several years since and there may have been a change in staff/environment, but this was my experience in AES, and it was a genuinely good time and I do not regret studying here in the slightest.

I have a lot more to say about the school culture/etc, but the post would be too long. I hope this small bit will help you parents or even to-be students make a more informed choice as to whether to choose AES.

Honestly i only take open house as a rough guide. Because the schools will showcase their best students and you know like a salesman trying to sell their products. You will only know more about the school when you have the real feel of the general student population. Something which I don’t know as I don’t stay close by and honestly AES was never in my preferred school list in the 1st until the release of the results. If not i would have definitely done more homework about the schools i have to choose from now. From what i see my gut feel for now say AES should be a rather decent school choice. just that we may need to motivate and keep a close lookout on our kids for the nxt 2-3yrs as this is the age where kids are guillable and may easily fall prey to bad companies. AES may be the bottom 50% sec schools when it comes to rankings. But to be fair my daughters grades are nothing great either. AES being christian school do believe in giving chances to people. Their believe in never giving up on someone. So maybe just maybe AES maybe the school for my girl to unleash her true full potential in her teenage years😊

Same here I visited the school during an open house.. Very impressive. I heard also from my friend his son is now Sec2 in AES that nothing to worry about the school, it is a good school...

My son's PSLE mark is good but he insists this school \"AES\" as he mentions, he got \"a good feeling\" in this school. I told him take the GESS, ACS or Clementi Town...

See u all on 23rd Dec... I hope our kids will be in the same class...

Hello

I am also considering AES for my daughter. Went for the open house as well. School looked Okay. However just like you i am also being discouraged by friends. Some of my friends who lived around the cashew area have nothing good to say about the student behaviour. I think they maybe confused with AES students with those of APS which is just beside. My daughter did not score well for her psle therefore i have very limited choices. I will apply AES as 1 of the choice for NA due to the low COP. However my only concern is discipline and possible influence of students from Assumption Pathway School. Well for my case its a case of beggers cannot be choosers. If you have more info about the school can you please let me know before the application cut off date. Thank You 😊
Same here all my friends insist to take the Clementi Town or GESS but my son likes AES...
Facilities VG... Teacher also very accommodating.. Big factor for me...

Hi all,

My son likes the school facilities. That's why we chose this. His PSLE result is good but he insists the AES \"Very Calm and Teacher and Admin very accommodating when we visit the school.

AES is a good school...

All the best for our child...

Hi I'm deciding between Zheng Hua and AES. Went to ZH openhouse but still feel better with AES. I spoke to AES principal at length just now. In 2018 44% make it to JC in 2018. This year there will be 3 Express, 2 NA, 1 NT classes. They focus on building English language which is good, and came back 4th at national debate this or last year At wits end with limited choice. Yes the openhouse may showcase only good things n good people around. We have to trust that they have the right education system and values, and our children play a part to make good themselves.

Hi

Did you have any idea what is the student to teacher ratio per class in AES?

Class is 30 per class...

If you feel more comfortable with AES as compared to Zheng Hua than go with your gut feeling. I have already submitted my choices. I find the more you brood over it the more doubts creep into our minds. Just go with what you think its best and let the rest take care of itself😀
