They clearly have a balanced curriculum and will not sacrifice character building over academic performance. I gather this through talking to my sister and friends whose children go to MGS and FMPS. The principal of FMPS told the parents of the P6's there will not be a cut-back in ECA just because of PSLE. They want to send the message across that academic excellence is not at all costs. Good stuff if you ask me.
I also know the VP of MGS and thus I know what are their goals in child education (and their corresponding progs) and if I have a girl, I will definitely send her to MGS or FMPS.
Guess once you have decided on the schools, you have to choose which church to be a member of then, haha. Alright, I'm kidding! I'm sure if you are a christian, you will not switch membership just to get the affiliation. But do note MGS do not accept parent's volunteer. So the only way is through RC/ NC if you are not a Methodist. Unless you already have a HDB, I doubt you will sell TS just to join an RC, so that leaves you with NC or if you are a board member. But hey, after writing so much, I realized all might be moot if your wife's an old girl of the school you want to put your daughter in, haha.
Anyway, coming back to this stretch of condos, the condo which I think is under-rated is Blossomvale. I didnt think much of it until 1 day I had to attend my son's classmate birthday party. Its not bad actually.
Also, have you considered landed? If not, take a look at Toh Tok, Lor Kismis, Lor Pisang, Yuk Tong area. Near to amenities and future MRT. Only thing to dislike I guess is the traffic can be a tad jam.
