Secondary
After overcoming PSLE as a hurdle, parents and their child now have to prepare for the move from Primary to secondary school. There are 4 main tracks/ streams in Secondary schools in Singapore, Integrated Programme (IP), Express, Normal Academic, Normal Technical, which then determine the next exam students would sit for i.e. A levels, O levels or N levels.

Our articles prepare parents and students for secondary school, touch on how to choose a secondary school as well as how to prepare for the next major examination in their child’s life.
