Friend's children studying at Pei Tong. Apparently, his children are naturally hardworking and are doing great in the school. Kids are pretty well behaved; I would think the school plays a part in nurturing good behaviour.

Just curious, did they originally ballot for Nan Hua Primary (should be a lot of overlap where both are < 1 km) but were unsuccessful? Obviously, most people prefer one over the other. But regardless of whether one is lucky or unlucky, many things about the child won't change. If the child is smart and hardworking, there's a good chance he or she will do well.

They didn't actually, they made Pei Tong their first choice, I think they knew the chances at Nan Hua would be competitive, looking at the past statistics of applicants.

Good to hear nice things about Pei Tong. The child will probably end up with the same choice of secondary schools. Can probably have a more relaxed primary school life, no need for never ending tuition, etc.

The children doing well in school may not necessarily have anything to do with the school, it may just be that they are intelligent or hardworking as you've mentioned. But I definitely agree, the school plays a big part in nurturing young minds. This is why it's so important to pick a school whose values you align with.

What do you suppose are the reasons for their preference?

Not necessarily, the choice to subject the children to hours of tuition is one made by the parents, doesn't really have anything to do with which school they enroll in.

Generally speaking, most people will pick the more popular/famous school (or at least try for it) if they have the chance. Could be for history, culture, tradition, demographics, general popularity, and on the margin, possibly resources (CCAs, facilities, etc). Nevertheless, any of the primary schools here will get your child a good base in the curriculum and expose them to other non-academic activities.

Yes, ultimately it is up to the parents. But unfortunately the parental peer pressure to have your child perform is often higher in certain schools than others.

I'm assuming Pei Hwa is more famous then? I've always thought they were more or less the same, though I've never deeply researched either.

I believe you are thinking of Pew Hwa Presbyterian Primary School (PHPPS), near Beauty World? The above was about Pei Tong, in Clementi (very near Nan Hua Primary School).

Both PHPPS and NHPS are difficult to enter; they are SAP and SAP/GEP Centre.

Ah, yes! The one by Beauty World! I know it's a SAP school but that's about it.

Pei Tong Primary School is a well-established primary school located in Clementi, Singapore. It is known for its commitment to providing quality education and holistic development for its students. The school emphasizes values-based education, character development, and academic excellence.

If you're looking for more detailed and personalized information about Pei Tong Primary School, I would recommend reaching out to current or former students, parents, or visiting online forums or social media groups where discussions about schools in Singapore take place.
