Why so many "brand" schools in Bukit Timah area?

Do you have insider information to support your thinking?

Else this post of yours is only going to fuel speculations.

Many yrs ago a board member told us they proposed to 'open' another school but was rejected...and I'm sure they are not the only ones having such an idea.

U mean expand or open another school not shift. Something like CHIJ schs. But i dont think it will ease the traffic along BT as long as the main school is still there.

Bukit Timah has been home to many branded schools for donkey years. I doubt it will change. This is another reason why prices of homes in BT has hardly dropped.

Maybe they should move HCI and NYPS to the heartland where there might be more take-up from the Mandarin-speaking heartland.

You mean they have a take-up issue ?

As long as parents drive the child to school, every road around the school will have congestion issue, not only Bukit Timah.

When I was living next to Bukit Panjang Pri Sch, we also faced road congestion along Cashew Road.

Oh wait, did i misread the topic? Are we talking about different "brands" here? Eg. SAP Sch, GEP Sch, IP Sch, International Sch, Methodist Sch, Boarding Sch?
