Primary school intake for foreigner (i.e. DP) can only be done through either phase 3 of primary one intake, or AEIS examination for primary two to five.joop wrote:TangoDown,
You can go to MOE website and you can take a look at the links on the left side. Which will give you more information on the Phases and application procedures.

You can try apply at newer and new schools or schools which are popular/have a higher intake of expatriate families, which might give you a better chance.
You can read up on MOE site as some phases are through visits to the school and some phases are through online applications.
I read here that there is a supplementary AEIS exam coming up in February 2018. If a student qualifies it s/he will be considered for April 2018 admission.bcheng74 wrote:Primary school intake for foreigner (i.e. DP) can only be done through either phase 3 of primary one intake, or AEIS examination for primary two to five.joop wrote:TangoDown,

Both windows are closed now for 2018 intake. The next one will be 2019 intake which will happen from June 2018 onwards. Other than this, there is no other way to apply for primary school.

Yes there is S-AEIS but the admission rate is even lower. Anyway, good luck!Kochi wrote:I read here that there is a supplementary AEIS exam coming up in February 2018.

To summarize, P1 must go through P1 registration exercise which has 3 phases. Foreigners are on phase 3 where most of the slots have already been taken.
P2-P5 must go through the AEIS route. Basically, your child takes the AEIS exam, and you pray that he/she gets a slot.
There is no admission for P6.
It is very difficult for a foreign child to get into a local school nowadays unlike in the past (bef 2011) when they try to accommodate most foreign children. So have a plan B for your child.
If your child did not get a slot, your options would be
- home schooling
- private schools with local curriculum (e.g. San Yu)
- International Schools
- other alternative learning institutes/centres such as Open Primary, SFA Eduhearts, Invictus

Would you be able to give me an idea on roughly how much the tuition is for local school, private school with local curriculum, and International Schools at primary level? And how do the three types of schools compare in terms of quality of education? I am hoping to get a better idea before negotiating a job offer. My child is 5 and can speak some Chinese if that matters.
