KiasuParents - Parenting in Singapore

Any parents from SJI? Can you share your experienced about your child in the school?

Its a good school for opportunities for the boys to experience all aspects of being a boy even if the boy is not in an active cca - camps for whole level, canoeing,leadership opportunities etc- gives boys a well rounded education. So the programs in place are well thought out and established. In terms of pastoral care - its excellent! Very inclusive culture.

My older son has enjoyed SJI. He keeps saying that there is something he loves about SJI that I will never understand, and he has very good relationship with his friends. I have heard that their education is very holistic.

Hey there, my son juz got posted to Sji & he have an option to take this Ip track tat leads to the IBDP cert.But this is their 1st year 2013 starting the program so not too sure whether should we go for it.
Any feedback frm anyone perhaps? Really appreciate it...thanks

Hi
your son applied for O level track but SJI offers him an option to take the IP track?

Yeh, we applied fr the o level track but was given a briefing by a teacher Mr Malcolm Wong to take up Ip track since its still available.. Cos my DS got 258 he said.. But not too sure if he can cope wif the vigorous assignments.. And its not cheap either..
Anyone went thru IBDP program..? Thx

Hi Edyboy,
