Can Foreigners Attend Local Schools in Singapore?

International students can seek admission to mainstream primary and secondary schools through the Admissions Exercise for International Students (AEIS) or Supplementary Admissions Exercise for International Students (S-AEIS). AEIS and S-AEIS are admission tests conducted by Singapore’s Ministry Of Education (MOE).

  • AEIS happens in September each year. Results are published in December, and successful applicants will enrol in government schools in January of the following year. 
  • S-AEIS happens in March each year. Results are published in April, and successful applicants will enrol in government schools in May of the same year. Students who missed or did not pass the AEIS exam in September can sit for the S-AEIS exam. 

Exam subjects:

  • Primary School Level: Only Mathematics is tested on the day of the exam. However, prior to registering for the Mathematics exam, students must first pass the CEQ (KET or PET) English proficiency test administered by Cambridge Assessment English and achieve the required score.
  • Secondary School Level: Both English and Mathematics are tested on the day of the exam.

AEIS Admission Criteria: Passing the exam does not guarantee 100% admission. Final admission depends on the student’s exam results, the availability of vacancies in Singapore government schools at the time, and the declared residential area.

If You Didn't Manage to Pass the AEIS or S-AEIS Exam...

Don’t worry! We can always try again in the next AEIS (September) or S-AEIS (March) Exam.

Is it Difficult to Get a Place at a Singapore Local School?

The AEIS exam is highly competitive, especially for English. Many students find it challenging due to the high standards of Singapore’s education system. Proper preparation and structured training are strongly recommended. Although there are limited slots available each year, enrolling in government schools is not a “mission impossible”. For over 20 years, Spring College International’s AEIS Preparatory Course and AEIS Tuition Course have helped countless students in successfully securing placements in local schools.

Our students are from China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Vietnam, Thailand, India and all around the world. They have successfully passed the AEIS and S-AEIS examinations, and enrolled in Singapore government primary and secondary schools. Check out our students’ AEIS offer letter from MOE:
