Government, Government-Aided and Independent Schools
Admission of international students into government, government-aided or independent schools is strictly based on availability of vacancies.
Submit your application at the school of your choice with the required documents.
If there is a vacancy, you will need to pass a placement test conducted by the school.

The Letter of Acceptance is valid for two weeks, during which time; you must apply for a Student's Pass with the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA) and revert to the school with your Student's Pass confirmation.
