I am no expert in this but here's my 2 cent worth :


Both ACJS and ACPS belongs to the ACSian family of schools which is under he Methodist Church.

ACPS is housed in the Baker Road campus with the ACS secondary school, while ACJS is by itself in Canhill

Traditionally ACPS has a longer history and more old boys. Hence explaining the quick uptake in its vacancy from Phase 1 to 2. Plus they have a smaller intake.

Academic wise, I don't know what's the difference except ACPS has GEP program and ACJS student who qualify for it has to be transfer there.

Facilities wise, ACPS been in Baker Road campus has more and a swimming pool while ACJS doesn't. Swimming CCA in ACJS is conducted in Keppel Club

I am an old boy of the secondary school, not the primary school. During my time, the better to do students come from ACJS. Don't know about now.

But what I like about the ACS culture is its emphasis on character development. The boys are more outspoken and confident. Maybe that gives the impression of the ACS boys are cocky. But I beg to differ.

Point to note, the alumus is very strong. ACSian are very proud of their school. All my good friends who I still hang out with are from ACS. Which school old students can say the same

My 2 cents worth

Do anyone advice on the possible of balloting for RVPS in P2B?

For RVPS in P2B, I think there is not need to ballot regardless of distance, according to historical data

http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/event/p1-registration-2012-phase-2b

For P2C, I think balloting will be required for 1-2km

RVPS will be my back up in P2C as I stay almost next to it

I am going for ACJS in P2B and stay within 1-2km of it. Looks like there is no need to ballot for my boy. I hope! I am praying very hard for it

I think there could be a chance for balloting at P2B for RVPS.

About 60+ PV versus 53 places in P2B…

[Cute Daddy]

Not only just PV, also have grassroots too

[kiasu-but-generous]

The vacancy for 2B in RVSP is 53/54.


I heard not all 60 completed the PV. Then for those completed, some might not register. After plus grassroots, hopefully no balloting for 2B RVSP.

[Cute Daddy]

Hope so too

Hi!


Anyone know if the vacancies at Phase 2B for ACS Primary is lower this year compared to last year?

I am trying for ACS Junior but was wondering if my chances will dwindle given that ACS Primary only have 24 seats at Phase 2B. Maybe more parents will go for ACS Jnr for safer bet?

[LOLMum]

i dont think there was any balloting at phase 2b last year for those living within 1 km at acsp.


last year, there was about 20 or 21 vacancies at acsp phase 2b

Hi

I called the school and they have 50 PVs.
So hopefully all PVs get in.
