does anyone know for 2012 P3 level - which are the high-ability classes? thanks!

I am looking for a program to help my son with his focus and concentration skills. Is there any that you would recommend?


Came across this Powermind Intensive by Singapore Brain Development Centre - has anyone sent their children to this and can share your feedback?

Thanks a lot!

Both my sons went to Maris Stella and they really enjoyed themselves there. My older boy, now p1 (going p2) still misses his teachers there and would ask us to bring him back there tovisit his old teachers. My 2nd boy just graduated and he really loves his ms ng!!


To be fair, I am a FTWM and I don’t spend a lot of time talking to teachers and other parents. But I noticed MS does not seem to have a fixed curriculum in it’s teaching. I thot my 2nd boy was not as developped as my bigger one cos he couldn’t read at all at the end of his k1 while at the same stage my bigger boy was reading mr men series at end of his k1. Then I realized big boy’s k1 teacher taught them phonics in class but 2nd boy’s teacher didn’t really do much (not even too much art n craft work) cos of this we had to send him for external phonics class. The key negative thing coming out of this is that the younger’s confidence is affected cos he has to attend additional classes that his brother doesn’t have to (I don’t send my kids for any enrichment since young cos I would like them to enjoy childhood as much as possible)

while i wasn’t too happy abt my small boy’s case in k1, his k2 teacher really helped to boost his confidence and she really made learning fun for the kids. The fact that the boys love the school so much is good testament to the school and environment.

Now I am just preparing for my youngest one and am considering nanyang kindy cos it’s just down the road for us (just moved) and just found out it has pure Chinese environment. But after reading some of the comments here I really wonder if should just send him to MS too.

hi hi,


at the risk of sounding really clueless… my son is in nyps p1 this year and we were invited to attend the prize award ceremony tomorrow (or actually later today) can someone pls enlighten what the nyps high achiever mean? i presume it was to award his good grades, but how many are given this award in every class? thanks in advance for the info!
