Anglo-Chinese School (Independent)

He chose Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) as first choice and he got in. There are 13 classes of secondary one at ACS(I) in year 2025. 5 classes of IP and 8 classes of non-IP. Each class size is about 32 students maximum. He was placed at the top class in IP , comprises a number of students who were in the GEP (Gifted Education Program) while they were in primary school, as well as students who had done exceptionally well in the 2024 PSLE examinations. Hence, his class will have certain enrichment modules. That's good. The school campus is pretty big!  The classrooms and canteen are all air-conditioned. Badge pinning ceremony. His school fees breakdown (highlighted in yellow) with ESIS (Edusave Scholarships for Independent Schools) With PSLE scores of 5M, you basically can choose any secondary schools you like. One main reason he didn't choose RI is because the school is quite far from our home.  It will be a 60-minutes journey compared to 15 minutes journey to ACS(I). 202...

My boy met my expectation precisely.  AL 5 M  ! Surprisingly, he also received the scholarships letter together with the PSLE certificate.  It is a Edusave scholarships for Independant Schools (ESIS),  S$2,400 per year for 6 years .  This is a surprise bonus!  We were told only AL 4 and 5 students received such scholarships (Singaporean students only). With AL 5, you basically can choose any secondary schools you like. However, he had fixed his eyes at  ACS(I) . It's only 10 minutes journey, direct bus from our home. IP (Year 1 to Year 4) school fees: S$385 x 12 months x 4 =  S$18,480 IBDP (Year 5 to Year 6) school fees: S$500 x 12 months x 2 =  S$12,000 Total 6 years of school fees:  S$30,480 Scholarships (for 6 years): S$2,400 x 6 =  S$14,400 Net ACS(I) secondary school fees for 6 years:  S$16,080 My job is officially done.  Woo Hoo!!

Primary 5 Report Card

There is a saying, your Primary 5 "End-of-year Examination" result will be your PSLE results.   If that's true, his PSLE Score will be AL 9. That's not good. He will not be able to get into his dream school, Anglo Chinese School (Independent) . Hence, he needs to work smart/hard towards his goal. I set a target for him. AL 6 (P) shall be. Nevertheless, I am pleased to know he was selected again for Higher Chinese class in Primary 6. Good job! Please at least get a "PASS" grade!    Primary 5 Achievements: Primary 5: CCA Captain , represented school at National School Games Table Tennis Senior Boys Team - League 1 & National School Games Table Tennis Senior Division Boys (Team).

PSLE Cut Off Points (COP) (Revision 03)

Revision 03 (last paragraph): updated on December 22, 2023. Revision 02: updated on December 22, 2022. PSLE COP for year 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018 and 2017 were shown below.  My child is a boy. We target the three secondary schools below, but his PSLE will be in year 2024 instead.  New PSLE scoring system was introduced in year 2021. Based on 2021 PSLE COP, the sure-in scores required for the 4 schools below are: (1) Raffles Institution: AL 6 (P) (2) Hwa Chong: AL 7 (D) - for info/benchmark only. (3) Anglo-Chinese School (ACS) Independent: AL 7 (P) (4) River Valley High School: AL 8 (P) In conclusion: (1) AL 4 & 5 can choose Raffles Institution . AL 6 can be risky. (2) AL 6 can choose ACS . AL 7 can be risky. (3) AL 7 can choose River Valley High . AL 8 can be risky. (4) AL 8 shall check other high schools too. Let's see if such strategy works for the PSLE COP for year 2022. The COP result will be announced by December 23, 2022, after the school posting results. It is intere...
