THE SINGAPORE SCHOOL SYSTEM

The Singapore education system aims to bring out the best in every student, developing sound moral values and
the skills necessary to meet the demands of a rapidly changing world.

Students begin their education by entering primary school at age 6, where they spend 6 years learning basic
subjects including English and a mother tongue language. Except for selected subjects taught in the mother
tongue, English is the language of instruction in all Singapore schools. Students next proceed to the secondary
level for 4 years of study to prepare for the Singapore-Cambridge General Certificate of Education Ordinary Level
(GCE O-Level) Examination or equivalent. Those who perform well can enrol at junior colleges for 2 years of
study to prepare for the Singapore-Cambridge General Certificate of Education Advanced Level (GCE A-Level)
Examination or equivalent.

Apart from the formal school curriculum, students participate in Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) which provide
healthy recreation, and instil self-discipline, teamwork and confidence in them. The character development and
physical growth of each child is hence provided for.

For secondary schools, the academic year consists of 4 terms of 10 weeks each, beginning on the first working
weekday in January and ending in mid-November. For pre-university studies, the academic year begins in late
January/early February and ends in mid-November.
