Nothing much, really. Just follow what they require on their website. We didn't prepare anything with our son actually. Just go for the test and camp and wait to be selected.MumAnuTan:
Has anyone applied for SST? My DS is very keen on that school.
It is a 100% DSA, so any tips on how to prepare him for the same will be helpful.. -
my sis son got into SST this year, he gave the written exam and after that they had a camp activity where they select the candidate based on team work and leadership skills

Any sharing from any successful parent is very much useful as a guide. Sorry if I miss any similar communication on this topic before.

You can also mention their primary school results from P5 and P6 sa1 - all subjects. I dont think p4 is needed, cant remember
Any other competition mats /science certs would be good - typically olympiads.
All the best for your child -

thanks thst is great ! What about portfolio, is it required ? I can get ready his past achievements into simple folder but not sure if need to get professional help in getting the portfolio done up as I think there is private tuition which even teaches doing up portfolio for DSA. Any sharing on this part is wonderful
