Primary 1 registration for international students

Details of the 2026 P1 Registration Exercise will be updated by May 2026. Join our mailing list to receive an email alert when registration information is available.

1. Overview

International students (IS) can register for P1 during Phase 3 of the P1 Registration Exercise, after all Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents have been allocated a place under the earlier phases.

Prior to Phase 3, ISes must go through a 2-step process:

  1. Submit an online indication of interest form, available here from 9am on Tuesday, 27 May 2025 to 4.30pm on Monday, 2 June 2025, otherwise you will not be able to register in Phase 3 of the P1 Registration Exercise.
  2. We will notify you via email by October:
  • Whether your child can be offered a P1 place.
  • How to register in Phase 3 with the designated school if they are offered a place. 

Check when your child is eligible for P1 registration

You can register your child in the 2026 P1 Registration Exercise if your child is born between 2 January 2020 and 1 January 2021 (both dates inclusive).

When was your child born?
