Hai,My daughter is in P6 this year.Please share your experiences about NUS High School. Thanks! Shriradh

Hi shriradh, this is a student from NUS High. School in NUS High is pretty advanced compared to any other secondary school. By Y2 we will already be covering topics normally taught in Sec4, so your child should be be prepared to absorb new topics and concepts very fast. Self revision is very important, due to the fast pace in teaching. Your child will be taught all 3 sciences, since day one, plus math, and the other usual subjects like mothertougue, english, etc. Days in are longer than usual, with CCA days ending at 6, and usual days ending at 2+, depending on your class, and year, so do take note of that.

But don't expect your child to become nerds, and don't expect NUS High to be full of nerds XD. Every 2 years we are shuffled around among our level-mates according to the humanities taken (for Y2 to Y3), or according to the majors selected (from Y4 to Y5).

But most importantly of all, make sure your child is very sure she wants to be in this school. She will burn-out and lose interest in science through the rigorous training here if she is reluctant to come here in the first place. Best of luck for your admission!
