Hi,


My gal is interested in MGS IB. She has gotten AL4 which was a pleasant shock to us. We weren’t prepared for her getting this score, hence we did not pay much attention to the top schools during the open houses.

Can any kind soul give an insight to the school life. I understand it is a more balanced approach, compared to NYGH or RGS which are more academically demanding.

Also, is MGS very religiously inclined? Religious activity everyday?

TIA

Hi,

I went through the past postings but didn’t see much postings regarding MGS O level track.

Wonder if anyone can share information on the O level track such as:

A. No. or percentage of non-affliated students admitted in past years eg. 2022, 2021?

B. While I understand that IB and O level are different, will students pursuing at O level be given opportunities (eg. Certain worksheets for IB students) at Yr 1 or 2 to experience what the IB students are going through? So as to get a feel should they will like to apply for IB at Yr 2.

3. As there is a chance to move from O level to IB at year 2, does this means the curriculum for the first 2 years are similar? If not, what are the delta eg project work?

Thank you in advance

For this type of question posed, if no one is able to reply you in this forum,


you may
call up MGS Girls’ Secondary school General Office directly, and
request to speak to the VP (Academic) directly. She will address all your concern(s).

NYGHS and RGS are also balanced but much more intense. MGS is less intense and acceleration is manageable, so there's slightly more social life. They are a Methodist mission school, so religion is ever-present as a necessary inclination; however, religious activity is not constantly at the forefront.

A. This one you'll have to call them up to find out.
B. The ACS(I) and MGS O/IP hybrids are designed to allow easy crossover. This influences the way the O-track is taught, and adds a bit extra to the S1/2 content. There is a lot more reading and writing to be done in the IP, relatively speaking; it may be a bit of a shock to some, but it's designed to be manageable.
C. The delta is in enrichment activities and projects. However, since the IP to year 4 is 80% equivalent to the O-level track, it really isn't a large delta.
