Life at NCS?

So for any students at NCS I'd like to ask how is it? How much does the school help its students and is the environment a good one for maximising potential? What are the unique opportunities NCS offers that can't be offered at other places? Not sure if this is true or not but there are apparently exclusive opportunities that NCS can have such as scholarships that are exclusive, is this true? Thanks.

the skl helps A LOT. everyday u get sent a new email regarding work experience opportunities, programmes, oxbridge supervisions, ivy league prep, international comps u can join etc. A lot of these opportunities are ones u cant find online e.g. the programme specifically invites NCS students. and many of the opportunities omly take place in skl e.g. the oxbrdige supervisions and ivy league prep. the skl also takes u on trips to oxford, cambridge, even harvard and u get to speak directly to admissions officers bcs of ncs' close links w these skls. With scholarships they are mainly for ivy league since uk unis tend to offer less scholarships. However, w the few uk uni scholarships available, the skl makes sure u are aware of them. And in terms of maximising potential, students are constantly pushed to the limit e.g. w lots of homework, difficult tests etc but the teachers also are always available to help and encourage u to ask questions and ask for help, whether in class or outside. While it is hard work, theres a reason the skl has 97 percent a star to b and has been top 1% of all skls in the country for 9 years straight. The teachers work hard to ensure ur perfectly ready, and the students work hard to ensure they get into those top unis like oxford, cambridge, harvard, priceton, imperial LSE etc. when ur in an environment like that, ofc ur gonna want to work hard alongside ur peers and really push urself to maximise ur potential
