      Well ... Do you think that gooder schools have gooder teachers? The goodest schools have goodest resources ... Right?

      I doubt it, at least about teachers, and all schools in Singapore seem pretty well-resourced. And there are different kinds of teachers too - some deal better with smart kids and other are more suited for slower kids. I feel that whether a school is 'good' or not should be assessed by how well it suits a particular child, not how good its results are. I have 2 kids - one in a 'top' school and another in a 'bottom' school, and I feel that both schools are 'good' for that particular child. If they swapped places, both schools would be 'bad' schools for them as one child would be lost and out of her depth, and the other bored and unchallenged.

            Yes they do. As does HCI, ACSI and most of the other IP schools that accept JAE students. I have a couple of friends whose kids were accepted to HCI and RJC in previous years via academic domain.

                      Dear JC parents,


                      Mid-year started already … we will be staring at Choices for undergraduate programs at local university in 18 month time. For parents of ARTs stream(With H2 maths) students , followings are choices

                      1) NTU/NUS/SMU - Accountancy & Business Administratation corses
                      2) NTU/NUS/SMU- FASS( Faculty of Arts & Soc Science courses)
                      3) NUS/SMU/SIM( Coomunity law) - Law courses
                      4) Yale-NUS

                      Seems like very limited choice , is there any undergraduate program available at local university, i have forgotten?

                      Thank you

                        FASS coveres a very wide range of courses, so the list would be more than it looks.
