DSA 2011

Ngbrdad, you shouldn't worry about that. DS is in ACS, and boys all mix very well. All good kids; not flash. The kids are no different from kids in any other gep school - focused on getting grades (very competitive), playing with friends, deciding which school to go to etc. Parents of these kids have to work too, and worry about our kids' future - so we're all pretty much in the same boat with everyone else.

Thanks.
ACSI is close and convenient for us.
Will keep that in mind if need to apply thru S1 posting.

A colleague told me that IB programme is a much more recognised programme (compared with A Levels) for uni in US. Anyone has more info to share on this?

Yes, I think it is true. One of my friends during her 2-year stay in states wanted to pick up a course but none recognized her Singapore certs. She had diploma from SP, n they told her that is not IB - they only recognize IB. But not sure what RI n HCI will do to help the graduates get into these overseas schools.

No matter what still need to do SAT.

:congrats: so which is the first choice?

Thanks. He is still changing his mind it used to be RI but after last week nushigh open house he changed his mind to nushigh. I tell him do psle and than can think about it[/quote] :congrats:
NUSH had done a good job in marketing their school. The Tea session last Sat; besides the talk, the \"showcase\" of the different subjects/department also a great marketing tool.
12 yr old boys n girls will be easily attracted by what they see there.
With 3 COs, he can decide in Oct which one he wants, by then he may have forgotten about the Tea session.

Congratulations to parents who have received CO from ACSI. Personally, I like the IB programme and think that it suited my DD more. Unfortunately, ACSI takes in girls only in Year 5 and 6 …
