I recommend Chung Cheng High Yishun over AMKSS. Chung Cheng Yishun has new leadership team this year comprising of new P who was VP of the same school for about 2 yrs. 2 VPs, with one of them from affiliated NYJC & this yr has another VP whom I heard was formerly from Xinmin. The new P according to my son who is studying Sec 2 walks around the sch often & seems to be interested in studies & CCAs. The lady VP looks caring. Didn't know much about the male VP so checked internet on him & found he is quite well known when he was in Xinmin (heard he rose from tr to Discipline Master then IT HOD then VP - can't confirm). Only heard he was one of the trs that helped Xinmin moved up sch ranking to top sch before posted to another neighborhood sch in AMK - think Yio Chu Kang. Found out when he left the sch last yr, staff & pupils miss him as he was very strict yet caring. Sch improved a lot over the past few yrs. AMKSS has some issues with a couple of HODs judging by the comments posted. Plus pt for joining Chung Cheng Yishun, quite good results plus affiliated to NYJC which means 2 bonus pts. Didn't regret sending my son to Chung Cheng Yishun - seems improving quite a bit. Almost sent my son to Yishun Town - then heard autonomous sch also had same COP too. Discussed with wife & think Chung Cheng Yishun not autonomous sch yet has same COP as Yishun Town which has no affiliation. So we decided to choose Chung Cheng Yishun. So far, no regrets.

Can I please check does AMK Sec school ONLY offer HIGER CHINESE? Based on the Sec school selection handbook, it only indicates HIGHER CHINESE? Please advise....
