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.

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.

What is the earliest dismissal time for normal school days ?

[Wonderment]

Mondays and Fridays, CCA days. So 6pm.

Thursdays, electives so 430 or 6pm.
Wednesday, DV (?) so also around 5pm.
So, only Tuesday is 1/130pm dismissal.

The kids do spend most of their time in school.

Thanks macflashpay!

It seems strange for graduates of a Math & Science school to go for medicine instead of engineering... but different strokes for different folks I'm happy for them.

Maybe we should have a School of Medicine in Singapore?

Will the side gates accessible for year1 students on first week of school ? Saw that they can only be entered with school card access. It will be a long walk from side gate at AYE.

[Curioustudent]

Usually the side gate will be open in the morning by the security guard so there is no need to have a student card. In the event that the security guard did not open the gate or they are required to report to front gate for the first day of school, then the long walk may be necessary.
