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. Arrange a school visit or tour.
Parents are encouraged to visit the campus to observe the learning environment and meet the staff. Tours are scheduled during school hours to provide a realistic view of the daily routine. The school may also hold open mornings or events for prospective families.
2. Submit an application form.
If you wish to proceed, you’ll need to complete and submit the school’s application form along with supporting documents such as a copy of your child’s passport, immunization record, and a recent photo. A non-refundable registration fee of SGD 750 is required at this stage.
3. Receive confirmation and pay the deposit.
Once a place is offered, a refundable acceptance deposit of SGD 1,000 is required to secure it. The place is confirmed only once both the registration fee and deposit have been paid. The school will also confirm your child’s start date and class placement.
4. Prepare for your child’s start.
Prior to the start date, the school may request additional information such as emergency contacts or health details. Parents will receive orientation details and can speak with teachers to ease the transition. Children may start mid-term if places are available, and fees will be pro-rated accordingly.
Rain Trees operates a waitlist system when classes are full. Places are offered based on availability and the date the application was received. Priority may be given to siblings of current students. If a space is not immediately available, families are kept informed and contacted as soon as an appropriate place becomes open.
Rain Trees International Kindergarten does not currently offer any scholarships.
Rain Trees International Kindergarten caters for children aged 18 months to 6 years, following the UK Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum. The school emphasizes learning through play, hands-on activities, and discovery. A standout feature is the expansive 35,000 square feet garden, equipped with climbing frames, sandpits, ride-on toys, and a vegetable patch where children cultivate their own produce. For younger children, a Parent and Toddler Group is available, facilitating a gentle introduction to the school environment.
