Anglo-Chinese School (Independent), Methodist Girls' School (Secondary) and St. Joseph's Institution. MGS students spend Years 1–4 at MGS and Years 5–6 at ACS (Independent). SJI here means the local institution, which is separate from SJI International.
No. Posting ranges vary by school, cohort and admission category. Historical ranges are references, not guaranteed entry scores. NUS High does not participate in S1 posting and has no S1 posting cut-off point.
IP bypasses the usual Secondary 4 national examination route. SEC replaces N- and O-Levels from 2027 for the non-IP route. Individual subject examinations may still apply: ACS (Independent), for example, specifies a Mother Tongue exception. Check each school's requirements.
Students must meet their school's promotion requirements. A change of route depends on the school, timing, places and the student's circumstances; it is not an automatic entitlement. DSA admission also carries a commitment to the school and selected talent area.
