[ruby tusk]

Pls provide a link or anywhere I can browse abt this, and share experiences too.

[pseudo minnow]

u cant do A levels there or what

im pretty sure the only options u have is to do the singaporean a levels / equivalent gr12 qualifications/ or maybe a foundation year at a uni

[marble fractal]

a levels are very rare here

most of the good schools don't have als

mainly ibdp for international schools

and ofc locals schools are option too but alot of competition

int schools are more laid back

[wanton pawn]

You can enroll in IB, JC (basically singapore A level) or poly

Thays rhe most common courses

Tho il warn you JC is much much harder then UK A levels

[marsh shale]

JC (sg a levels) is much harder than international a levels because it's their own syllabus

i think you can look on the singapore moe website for more information

[ruby tusk]

what curriculum do local schools follow

?

[ruby tusk]

i heard you need rlly good grades for JC

what grades are we talking about? In terms of our IGCSEs plz

[ruby tusk]

link plz, they have this some L1R5 thing idk about

[marble fractal]

I'm not really sure - Ive been here for only a year and planning to stay in international schools - but I'm guessing for 11tb and 12tb it's JC which is like harder a levels and depends on your grade in igcse/ols

[ruby tusk]

ohh

damn

how about the costs?

[marble fractal]

local I think lesser but internationals are expensive - 25k ish and upwards

and col is ofc a lot more cause of the qol being better than most countries

Everything that everyone else here has said checks out to me at first glance.

Perhaps you've already discussed this with your parents, but certain expats have their children's tuition covered by the company. I'm in an intl' school in Singapore and that's the case for many of us here.

Check with your parents if their business agreement includes such a thing.

You should also seek out the AEIS (https://www.moe.gov.sg/international-students/aeis)

Although it seems like it's too late for you to go through that path?

This year's AEIS apps are already closed, unfortunately

too expensive

something cheap,affordable and has good edu

local school should work right?

[marble fractal]

yes

but

very competitive

like I mean alot

if you had the money for int if I were you I would go int

and it's not only the school fees

just generally living in Singapore

is very expensive

[ruby tusk]

yeah true

my dad alr lives there

so we know abt the poace soo not a big issue

only the edu system im unfamiliar with

specifically jc and shi

[narrow jungle]

The AEIS I sent is required if you want to enter the local system

[ruby tusk]
