School Admissions
Every year in Singapore, there are multiple school admissions exercises for different students. Preschool children have to apply to enter primary schools, PSLE graduates have to apply to enter secondary schools, and O Level graduates have to apply to enter either junior colleges or Polytechnics. However, school admissions are highly complex, since it’s not just about the grades. You’d have to consider so many factors like the learning environment, learning resources and even CCAs available.
Don’t fret — our well-stocked (and ever-growing) library of articles here will guide you from choosing the best school, applying for them, and even what to prepare for your child’s first day in school. Our articles cater to all students, even for those looking for private schools in Singapore!
