Remember, a great primary school education sets the foundation for lifelong learning. Choose wisely, and let your child's educational journey in Singapore be a truly enriching experience.

If you're set on enrolling your child into the Singapore education pathway, the very first thing is to sign your child up for the Admissions Exercise for International Students (AEIS) entrance exams. Tests will be conducted in September or October every year. The Supplementary Admissions Exercise for International Students (S‑AEIS) is for international students seeking admission to Primary 2 to 4 and Secondary 1 to 2 in the same academic year. Tests will be conducted around March. To qualify for the AEIS and S-AEIS exams, your child has to first pass the first hurdle of the Cambridge KET and PET tests depending on the grade your child is applying.
