A - Adopt a wholistic view to child development, support your child to do her or his best.

X - eXpect more from your child, but be ready to accept less

My oldest daughter went to NYGH and my youngest daughter went to RGS, both of them were from RGPS. I can say that both are good choices. NYGH has more emphasis on Chinese language and culture. We have an English speaking environment at home. My oldest daughter is strong on her language skills, she is from GEP, there were some rough patches because of the changes in the GEP education transistion to IP but those are all over now, so IP is very much stablized. The youngest daughter in RGS also love her school because of the ethos and legacy of the school. The new principal is quite a dynamic lady. Go visit both the school and speak with the principal, teachers & students to get a feel and then examine the strengths and interest of your child to decide. Both are good choices.

Can someone advise if it is better to select Raffles Girls or Nanyang Girls? My daughter has score of 272 + 3 for Higher Chinese. We have an English speaking environment at home so not sure if she can adapt to the culture and environment in Nanyang Girls. On the other hand, Raffles Girls seems to be a very competitive environment so not sure if teachers are caring.

I think both are equally good schools. You can take distance, range of CCAs, school culture into consideration when you select the schools. If your DD has scored 3 for Higher Chinese, her Chinese has to be quite good.

If you have an English speaking environment at home, it will be good for her to go to NYGH for more Chinese exposure. Then, she will be well balanced. Eventually, regardless of RGS or NYGH, all the students take the same Higher chinese paper at O-levels. If you are more exposed to the language, chances of doing better will be higher.

Just my opinion.
