Overview

Entry Requirements

• Copies of previous school records must be provided - officially translated if they are in a language other than English.
• Upon entry to the school, all students must be a Singapore permanent resident or in possession of a valid student or dependant pass.
• Singapore citizens, including those who hold dual nationality, may enrol at the Kindergarten Level but may not enrol from the year in which they are 6 turning 7 years old, without written permission from Singapore Ministry of Education.
• Students with special needs:
• Prior to formal application, the school must be informed of any academic, physical or behavioural issues and all relevant documentation must be provided. Where necessary, further documentation or testing may be required. Failure to inform the school of any relevant issues may jeopardise the enrolment or continued enrolment of the student.
• Where a student with special needs is enrolled in the school, subsequent ongoing placement will be based upon the student's ability to continue to function independently within our regular programme and without adversely affecting the learning or well being of other children.
• Sometimes a provisional or, in the case of behavioural issues, a probationary placement may be offered. In such cases, the student may be required to leave the school if this is considered to be in the best interests of that student or of the student community as a whole.

Age Requirements

Incoming students will be placed in year levels based upon their age and previous educational level. Any exception will be on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the Head of Primary or the Head of Secondary.

You may apply to enroll your child into the following year levels by age. Please note that the school adheres strictly to the policy of enrolment by age.

Generally, the placement for secondary level is as below. However, the school reserves the right to offer and place your child at the appropriate year level based on a review of their previous educational level. For more information on secondary placement, contact Admissions.
