How to choose schools

Choosing a secondary school for your child depends on their strengths, interests and abilities. Learn about the considerations when choosing a school, how the posting process works and understand the PSLE score ranges to make an informed decision on your child's school choices and increase their chance of being posted to a school of choice. Then use SchoolFinder to explore and shortlist suitable schools.

PSLE score ranges in SchoolFinder

What do you need to know?
  • The previous year’s PSLE score ranges currently listed in the SchoolFinder serve only as a reference. It refers to the PSLE score of the first and last student admitted to a particular school in the previous year through S1 Posting.
  • Actual cut-off points (COPs) for the current year’s cohort are determined by actual school choices and reflect the score of the last student admitted into each school. The actual COP of a school is known only after the conclusion of the current year’s S1 Posting.
