Mr.Clumsy\" post_id=\"2082005\" time=\"1663030456\" user_id=\"135989:Hi my daughter received CO from sota for visual arts too and she was very clear as long as she gets sota every other offer is irrelevant.She has been wanting to go sota since she was 8 years old.I have a couple of acquaintances who teach at sota and a friend whose niece just graduated from sota and doing psychology at NTU so we are satisfied with the programme.It is pretty much the same as the ACS IB ..some diff is that year 5/6 they cab choose the path where it is more career related rather than the normal IB.
Hi there! Do your DS have the option of SJI & SOTA (under Visual Arts) too?
Currently, I'm more inclined to with SJI than SOTA though this reflects my traditional/old-school mentality more than anything else. I'd like a more well-rounded school rather than one which is so arts-focused. I do think, however, that SOTA has a more progressive IB program whereas SJI is more traditional. Can't really decide for now but eager to hear others' thoughts too.
Most importantly would be to see the personality of your son as IB would have more projects and presentations. Which would suit his style and mode more?From my daughters personality I believe it would suit her.Also which would your son prefer?How much would be like doing Art especially when it comes to the technical and in depth? I know many who loves Art but prefers the fun part of it and complains when it is the dry part.
Maybe call each school and find out in depth about everything,talk to your son about each school and see which he prefers.
All the best!
