Hi everyone!

Congratulations to all kids and parents who received their CO.
Kindly help me regarding any car pool or school bus service both-ways or One-way from Pasir Ris to NUSH ? Thanks.

I’m keen to join if there’s any! Thanks

I think only after PSLE results posting is out and confirmed, will most parents WA/Telegram chat be up.
Meanwhile, congrats with that precious CO from NUSH!

I created a Telegram group for the parents of those entering NUSH next year for Year 1.

Wow so fast.. I would rather have the confirmed psle results and posting letter in hand first..
coz some kids may get CO but choose other schools too and so technically not all are CONFIRMED NUSH parents???

Significant announcements from the school.

(1) a new Physics with Honours in Engineering Major
(2) Tesla initiative to strengthen bonds with Industry
(3) and a new Chairman for the school's Board of Governors

Keeping with the times and the evolving world out there.

Hi there!


My son is trying to choose between NUS High and RI. He is strong in math & sci, but being in express, might not be as talented as those in GEP. For eg, while he is lucky to have an offer from NUSH, he is not Olympiad Gold material. CCA wise, both schools CCAs are ok for him.

Which school should we pick, and what are their pros and cons? For us, we are quite attracted to the creative and brilliant curriculum and structure at NUSH. We love that the kids can accelerate in some subjects. And that really means the sky is the limit.

I guess I’m concerned mostly about whether he’s a A in RI, but among the math & sci geniuses of NUSH, he would fall to a CAP of Merit or Pass, given the naturally gifted NUSH kids (something no amount of tuition can help with).

I’m also guessing, NUSH kids don’t receive tuition?

Hi,


If your son wants ( as a parent yourself are keen for him ) to pursue a career in STEM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) , I would advise strongly advise him to choose NUSH. If given the opportunity, just take it.

I think you need not be too concern that he is from Express (not GEP) and a non-olympiad winner, or how he will perform thru the 6 years or how he will compare to other NUSH student. You should trust the school selection process and the school assessment of your kid suitability for the programme. NUSH is considered a "GEP" programme.

NUSH is really an amazing High School of Math & Science that is quite unparalleled in curriculum and provide great exposure and flexibility in STEM training. The advantage of No "O"/"A" level national examination allow student to focus on learning and applying STEM research at early age long before university. Of course, NUSH also allows a holistic education for the child to pursue other options in career.

Many alumni went to top US/UK for their undergrad as well as Graduate university. To give you an indication of the recognition of NUSH Diploma, some 40% of Ox(ford /Cam)bridge yearly acceptance in Singapore are from NUSH applicants.

NUSH may only be 16 years in history but Increasingly, many of our top alumni are also pursuing PhD in STEM in US and UK.

My DD is from cohort that graduated in 2016. Like some of alumni/peers, she is doing her PhD in US.

Hope, it help.

See the reply from the alumni parent above.

Trust your child had a good preview lesson day yesterday to give them an idea of the school and its curriculum.

NUSH is able to know which kids will do well under its curriculum and those who have the passion for the STEM subjects. RI is A levels, which is a fixed route, fixed subjects, for everyone.

Your son would have been about the 160-170 or so who have got confirmed offers. Lucky. The number that apply are usually 2000 or so. So you are already in a good place in terms of ability and passion.

Dont miss the chance.

Hi Hi ,


I just came back to Kiasuparent NUSH to "look look see see" after a long hiatus ( after all my DC have also graduated in 2015).

I think the NUSH of today is far more competitive (student quality-wise n selection) , more broad-based and comprehensive in STEM curriculum (additional cores in Computing, Engineering, Astro Physics etc) and offers the "best in class" in STEM learning, application and research for any high school/JC in Singapore and indeed/around the world.

Although NUSH is only a mere short 16 years in STEM history, its reputation/branding as premier STEM school is already established in all top US, UK and European Universities. As the VP Academic Mr Goh have said "our alumni have done very very very well and outshine their peers" in and around the world. In 2012 a UK team actually came to NUSH to examine the NUSH curriculum.

Our oversea alumni (Undergrad /Graduate PhD students) are still growing and well represented in diverse US top Uni (MIT, Stanford, CalTech, Havard, Princeton, UC Berkley, John Hopkins, Yale, Columbia etc) and UK Uni (Oxford,Cambridge, Imperial college, UCL etc ) .

Even among Local Uni (NUS/NTU), our NUSH alumni have always done exceptional well getting first class and top grade and our ex-NUSH are favorite project buddies. I think the school motto of "Explore, Experience and Excel" is the key difference to STEM training and excellence.

With no First-round testing / 2nd round Camp selection as in previous years, the onus is really for the school selection committee to select the best and proven, and with the passion (STEM-hungry) to explore, experience and Excel.

I think it is far easier for our top PSLE DC to get into RI or HCI to do STEM but only 170 of from this same 1000 Ri/HCI chosen cohort will get a rare place in NUSH.

So parents, if your DC is STEM-hungry and got a place in NUSH, don’t deny your DC a rare opportunity to pursue their dream. Your DC’s STEM skill experience/training in RI/HCI cannot be at the same level - opportunity, flexibility, intensity and exposure as in NUSH.

Just curious, may I know where your DD did her undergrad, and where is she doing her PhD now and what course? Is she planning to do academia? If it is too sensitive to reveal, it is ok. Thank you.
