Relocating to Singapore
Moving to a fast-paced, world-class city such as Singapore can be an exciting but challenging experience for a family.
What every parent needs to know about Singapore School Enrollment
How to sign up for an international school in Singapore
International families can apply to schools directly by submitting an application form along with the appropriate fees and documents. Singaporean students need special permission from the Singapore Ministry of Education for exemption from Singapore compulsory education above the age of 6 years old.
Choosing a new school for relocators in Singapore
Selecting a new school for an international student can prove more difficult than it might seem since the city is home to at least 40 international schools. When choosing a new school, parents need to consider issues such as school curricula, location, fee, after-school programmes as well as the school's values and philosophy. Each school sets its own policies and standards, so it's important to ask for detailed information when touring a prospective educational setting for your children.

Application services for education in Singapore
Some international families work with overseas educational consultants in Singapore to identify the right school situation for their children. These services can prove helpful, but ultimately, it is still up to parents to the vet their top choices against their family's unique criteria to determine the best educational setting for their children.
