International Student Admissions

International students without Dependant’s Pass (DP), without Immigration Exemption Order (IEO), and whose parents are S Pass or Work Permit (R Pass) holders and are not Singapore Citizens (SC) or Singapore Permanent Residents (SPR)

Children of Work Permit (R Pass) and S Pass holders who earn less than S$2,800 per month, whose parents are not Singapore Citizens (SC) / Singapore Permanent Residents (SPR), and who wish to study in a mainstream school, meeting the age criteria, are required to sit for and pass the Admissions Exercise for International Students (AEIS).

This exercise is for international students seeking admission into Primary 2-5 and Secondary 1-3 in the following academic year. International students participating in AEIS would enjoy the convenience of a centralised test on English and Mathematics, and the offer of a school place based on available school vacancies and their performance in the centralised test. There would be no school choices and requests for school transfers will not be entertained.
