Introduction to Primary School

Secondary schools in Singapore fall under three categories: government-funded, government-aided or independent. Students attend four or five years of secondary education under the Special, Express or Normal Course. The Special and Express Courses prepare students for the Singapore-Cambridge General Certificate of Education’Ordinary’ (GCE’O’) Level examination in four years. Students in the Normal Course can opt for the Academic or Technical stream, both of which prepare students for the Singapore-Cambridge General Certificate of Education ‘Normal'(GCE’N’) Level examination after four years of study and upon satisfactory completion, the GCE’O’Level examination in the fifth year.

Secondary education curriculum includes English, the Mother Tongue, Mathematics, Science and the Humanities. At Secondary 3, students can opt for electives of their choice, depending on whether they are in the Arts, Science, Commerce or Technical stream.

Singapore’s secondary school curriculum is recognized worldwide for its ability to develop students with critical thinking and intellectual skills. Foreign students are accepted at secondary schools subject to availability of vacancies. The Singapore educational system has been acknowledged by international education bodies as being one of top quality.

If there are places, foreign students can enroll at local secondary schools.
