My daughter just finished sec one at scgs, got in under DSA and then qualified academically anyway. It was a very good year for her, made many friends. Teachers are caring. They are strict about producing fine Asian ladies as evident by their attention to even how the girls sit - even when a chair has an upright back, the girls are expected not to lean against it but to straigten their backs. I like, even though the girls may not all appreciate that all the time.
Their language arts program is really solid - they actually teach different styles of writing and students have to master the theory and apply it to the writing. Useful science project that applies what they learn by building a device that meets certain aims.
Some teachers may be still pining for the former principal who stayed many years, but the current principal is a smart lady and the school will continue to do well under her I am sure.
