Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Initial Enquiry and School Tour
Families begin by arranging a visit through the School Tour form on the website. Parents can select their preferred centre, including Tampines, and will be contacted by the school to confirm availability and timing. The tour provides an opportunity to view facilities and discuss the curriculum with staff before making an application.
2. Application and Enrolment
Once parents decide to enrol, they complete the application process. When promotions are active, the website notes that an application fee and a one-month deposit are required at the point of enrolment. Parents should also be aware that these fees are non-refundable under the terms outlined during promotional campaigns.
3. Confirmation of Placement
The school confirms a child’s placement once application requirements are fulfilled and fees have been received. Promotional terms also highlight that enrolment must commence within a specified timeframe to retain the place. Families are advised to check availability early, as spaces are allocated based on the centre's capacity.
The school does not provide details of a formal waitlist or pool system. Instead, promotional and enrolment terms specify that placements are “subject to allocation availability.” Families may be offered places on a first-come, first-served basis depending on current capacity at the Tampines centre.
The website does not list any scholarship programmes. It does, however, mention promotional discounts, such as referral schemes and open house offers, which reduce fees for a limited period. These promotions are available to new parents enrolling children during specific campaigns but are not scholarships based on merit or financial need.
