Kheng Cheng

It depends very much what you expect from yr child and the school.


My boy was from KC from P1 to P3 before we transferrred him to a school which is nearer to our home. KC’s lower primary workload was not heavy, so it can be tough coping with the upper primary curriculum which was a big jump. My boy’s ex classmates fr KC (top 2 classes) had to deal with a lot of supplementary lessons during P5 and P6. They were almost ‘burnt-out’ before the PSLE last year.

However, I must say that we like the caring environement that KC provides. The teachers are helpful and caring, the students are friendly and less competitive among one another.

If you like a less stressful lower primary curriculum and is willing to support your child with home coaching or tuition, KC is good choice. However, there is a lot of catch up to do from P4 onwards.

There is another pratical consideration at P1 registration. KC has become more popular. Last year, all vacancies were taken up at Phase 2C for the first time. So you need to plan wisely.

No matter what school your child is in, they will still take the same PSLE as other peers. As parents, we can always level the playing fields through our own efforts.

thanx for sharing, smag.


Those considering Kheng Cheng, do bare in mind that this year (2012) there are many new families around Kheng Cheng from the Peak and Trivista. not sure how this will affect the demand.

I’m still undecided between Kheng Cheng and Kuo Chuan Presby.

Kheng Cheng is my alma mater and walking distance from my new place.
but like Kuo CHuan as it’s generally a good school and we’re Christian so we’d like a Christian environment.
torn between the 2.

Hi fellow mummies of KC children


My dd just joined Kheng Cheng P1 this year. I am very surprised that the homework she got from the beginning of 2nd week of school is the writing of 2 alphabets (upper and lower caps) each day. I have checked with a few of my friends whose kids are in P1 in other schools, but they didn't have to do this.

so could it be that most kids in Kheng Cheng don't have very intensive pre-school training?

Came accross this link and thought some parents may be interested.

Towards end of the slide, it shows 2011 PSLE results. Not too bad for a neighbourhood school that is not really a choice school.

Hi luckymummy77, for this year under phase 2C, all within 1km no need to ballot. Balloting required for 1-2km.

I guess u can call the admin office to check on the PV or maybe KCS website will have some details on this.
