Parent FAQ

Does the school's Christian background affect admission chances for non-Christian families?

The school is Christian but accepts students from all backgrounds, as evidenced by support for non-Chinese speaking students. The key is whether the family agrees with the school's holistic education and positive values. Parents can express respect and willingness to participate in school activities; no need to change faith.

How can parents support self-directed learning at home?

According to school reports, students are encouraged to preview, use e-learning platforms (e.g., Google Classroom, Nearpod), and reflect after class. Parents can set regular reading time, encourage use of school-recommended online resources, and discuss learning content. Student extracurricular reading participation is high (3.9/5); visit libraries frequently.

What STEAM foundation does a P1 child need?

School's STEAM is science-based; junior primary (P1-3) uses unplugged coding and basic programming. BYOD is optional for P1. Parents can let children play with building toys and logic puzzles to cultivate curiosity. School emphasises hands-on activities; no prior complex skills required.

What traits should my child show during interview?

School values positive strengths like courage, love, and self-discipline. Interview may observe politeness, listening, and cooperation. Practice simple self-introduction, sharing a small story about kindness or bravery, and encourage your child to ask questions.
