Admissions process for international students

International students can seek admission to our mainstream primary schools, secondary schools, junior colleges and Millennia Institute. Learn about the admissions process and how to apply.

If your child is aged 6 to 6+ as of 1 January in the year of admission, they can seek admission to Primary 1 (P1) of our mainstream schools through the P1 registration process for international students.

If your child is aged 7 to 7+ and above as of 1 January in the year of admission, they can seek admission to the education level appropriate for their age through either of the following:

• Admissions Exercise for International Students (AEIS). The AEIS is for admission to Primary 2 to 5 and Secondary 1 to 3 for the following academic year.
• Supplementary Admissions Exercise for International Students (S-AEIS). The S-AEIS is for admission to Primary 2 to 4 and Secondary 1 to 2 for the same academic year.

The AEIS and S-AEIS are centralised tests on English and Mathematics to assess your child’s English literacy, numeracy and reasoning abilities. They are conducted in English, and there are different tests for different education levels.

Admission through AEIS or S-AEIS is not guaranteed, and is subject to your child’s performance in the tests. If successful, placement will be based on the available vacancies in our schools and your declared residential area, where possible.
