Introduction to Primary School

A child in Singapore undergoes six years of primary education, comprising a four-year foundation stage from Primary 1 to 4 and a two-year orientation stage from Primary 5 to 6.

At the foundation stage, the core curriculum which comprises English, Mother Tongue and Mathematics are taught, with supplementary subjects such as Music, Arts & Crafts, Physical Education and Social Studies. Science is included from Primary 3.

To maximize their potential, students are streamed according to their learning ability before advancing to the orientation stage. At the end of Primary 6, students sit for the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE).
