Preparatory Course for Admission to Government Schools
Introduction
Currently, there are more than 190 primary schools and more than 100 secondary schools in Singapore.
International students who are interested in studying in mainstream government schools (primary and secondary) must take a centralized admission test conducted by the Ministry of Education. The test is held in September and October each year so that foreign students can join the schools in January of the following year.
This admission scheme which is known as the Admissions Exercise for International Students (AEIS), will involve a centralized test on English and Mathematics, and applicants who pass the test will be offered a place in a suitable school. The scheme is for new international students seeking admission into Primary 2–5 and Secondary 1–3 of Singapore government schools.
Government schools in Singapore generally do not admit students directly into Primary 6 and Secondary 4 as it would not be in the students’ interest to be admitted during these two critical examination years.
Course Content
Our course content conforms strictly to the MOE syllabus. The whole course is very intensive and is conducted in English so as to help students to improve their English proficiency within a short period of time.
Teaching methods are based on the syllabuses and curriculum used by the government schools in Singapore and the textbooks used are selected from MOE-approved publishers. Our course is designed to provide students with specific examination skills, mastery of the English language and a broad understanding of the culture and learning environment in local government schools.
