I heard that they will be the same as S' now, ie. 4+2. Anyone knows more about S' secondary curriculum?

IB looks quite good:

IB是全世界認可度最高的國際文憑课程。 獲全世界約1100所知名大學所認受,亦不斷有其他大學即將加入。

IB國際文憑是將眾多國家的最佳的部分融為一體。可以說，IB教育思想的精髓就是文化融合，培養學生的批判性思维和創新精神，也因而受到許多國家政府的支持。

IB强調，除了要重視學生的智力發展和學業水平外，更要重視培養學生對世界事務的認識。

IB綜合平衡的課程設置與高標準的學業衡量水平與世界名牌大學無縫接軌。其全部課程内容由六個学科組成（母語、外語、數學、個人與社會、實驗科學、藝術與選修），並注重各學科之間的關係。3項核心特色課程：拓展論文（EE）；知識理論（TOK）；創造、活動與服務（CAS）。学生可根據自身條件、興趣或與將要選擇的大學專業課程相結合，從每一組科目中至少選讀一門，以保证學習的廣泛性和平衡性。

學生獲得IB文憑反可直接入讀大學一年级，無需再讀大學預科或語言学校，節約至少一年的時間，而且高等级的學科在許多大學中還可以折算為相應的大學學分，從而使IB學学生可以免修相關的大學課程，提前完成大學學業。

全世界1100多所大學明確表示樂於接受IB學生，包括史丹福、哈佛、耶鲁、麻省理工、牛津、劍橋、新加坡國立大學、新加坡南洋理工大學等世界名校,並且為優秀的IB學生提供獎學金、獎勵學分等入學優惠待遇。

do u know which curriculum that SIS secondary will take ? will they consider IB ?

At this moment, for secondary, they will not consider IB.. not too sure abt the pre-university (i.e. year 11(secondary 5) and year 12 (secondary 6))

Alot of the other IS are considering IB and I think this is the direction to go. But for the school to change to IB - it will involve alot of COST, esp in getting the qualified teachers to teach IB or re-training the current pools of teachers ! And also in Singapore, most secondary schools in SIN are not running IB only a few priviledged schools are doing IB at the higher level.

想問下如果不是IB,中學畢業後有沒有機會申請到外國一些出名的大學呢? 好似美國睇IB比較多, 會唔會英國仍然睇GCE?

Hi! Do u think SIS will consider to teach traditional Chinese in lower form. Some parents said that if the children learn simplified Chinese, he/she can hardly write traditional Chinese, and the parents have to put a lot of efforts behind if they want their children to learn traditional Chinese. And even the children can read, they can hardly write due to less prastise at school work.But if they learn traditional Chinese first, it's easy for them to learn both.

Do u think the school will consider this matter?

Hi bbjp ,

DEFINITELY NOT - in teaching traditional chinese. In Singapore, all schools learn simplified chinese.

Hi YYYY,

I think IB or GCE - should be able to find good Uni if your results are good.. so no worry.

Dear Ivylove,

How much is the tuition fees for Math, Science and English ? Is this private or group tuitiion ?

thanks

Hi all,I don't think SIS will teach traditional chinese as
all singaporean learn simplify chinese back home and
furthermore it looks like simplify chinese is taking over traditional chinese because it is only HK and Taiwan still using trad chinese.
The tutorial centre that my son going has courses for
trad chinese and simplify chinese,if I'm not wrong,it is
a kind of VS thing,they said it is designed for those who are learning either type of chinese and wants to
learn the other type now.As for their fees,I think it is
affordable for lots of us.It is $250 for english,$230 for chinese,$250 for science but for maths,they have different rates,P1-2 $200,P3-4 $250,P5-6 $280 for an hour.I still think if anyone is interested
should go to have a look for youself,like I said everyone has different needs,it may be great for me
may not be the same for you.They provide small group tution not more than 4 or 5 kids in a group
which I'm happy with it because I want my son to
mix with other kids to learn to be a better team player and not to reley too much on 1 to 1 private
tution.I think when my boy had shown improvement
on what he is learning,I will adjust his time table to let him learn the trad and simplify chinese to strengthen his chinese skill.Bye now,good luck,mothers !
