Woodgrove has a new principal. Culture may change for the better

S\" post_id=\"1976255\" time=\"1589643860\" user_id=\"30342:

my DS is strong in math but weak in languages. Does ACSI or Cat High offer DSA academic (Math) domain if I choose O level track? Or the O level track DSA is usually for non-academic domains in these 2 schools? does anyone had DS accepted under O level track for academic domains for these 2 schools

Hello! You would need to check the school website. For dual track schools, they would have indicated their area of talent and whether it is for IP, O level, or both. From what I read, for your case I believe ACSI offers DSA maths for both tracks but Cat High offers only for its IP.

I have friends' daughters studying in NJC so these are the feedback I have gotten. :scratchhead:

my dd is in NJC , year 5 and her teachers do teach and guide, no spoon feeding tho, guess thats why they want independent learners. [/quote]The NJC principal and vice-principals have mentioned before in their open house, that not every child is suitable for the IP. They said that if a child needs constant pushing and multiple tuition in order to do well, then the child may struggle in the IP. Minimal teaching doesn't mean uncaring.

Can check what is the cut-off points for DSA NJC CO students? Thanks!

You just need to qualify for express if you are given a place under DSA. But of course if you end up with PSLE score of 188, you'll struggle there. So do continue to work very hard for the PSLE even if you already have a DSA place.
