入試概要

Applications must be submitted by a parent or legal guardian residing in Singapore. For non-Singaporean citizens or permanent residents, a valid foreign passport and a Singapore residency pass (FIN number) are required.

Yes, there is a quota for students without a Dependent Pass. For such cases, parents should contact the Admissions Department for detailed eligibility criteria.

NLCS (Singapore) uses a clear age-placement guide. For example, students born between 1 Sept 2014–31 Aug 2015 are eligible for Grade 5 (Year 6) in the current academic year 2025/26, and so on, ensuring children are placed in their appropriate academic cohort.

For placements outside of the grade boundaries, students will first be assessed according to their age level and if they are successful in passing the entrance assessments/ interview, we will ask parents to write an appeal letter as to why the student should be considered for a different grade. We will pass the appeal for internal review and advise on the outcome thereafter.

Yes, NLCS (Singapore) accepts applications throughout the academic year, subject to seat availability. However, for certain grades (especially upper years) there may be additional considerations, so early application is recommended.

Yes, a non-refundable application fee of SGD 1,000 is payable at the time of application submission, before an assessment slot is booked.

Parents must upload scanned copies of required documents including passports and valid residency passes (parents and child), birth certificate, recent school/nursery reports, immunisation records, academic reference, and a recent photo of the child. Non-English documents must be translated by a Notary Public or recognised translator.

For Pre-KG to Grade 1: review of documents and school readiness (e.g. child must be toilet-trained). For Grade 2 and above: English and Mathematics tests, a Cognitive Ability Test, possibly subject tests, and a face-to-face interview.

Yes, for applicants outside Singapore, NLCS (Singapore) can arrange alternative assessment options. Families should contact the Admissions Department to discuss logistics and eligibility.

Offers must be accepted within seven working days, followed by signing the student contract and payment (as per fee schedule) within 10 working days to confirm the place.

Yes, if a grade is at capacity, admissible students may be placed on a waiting list. Priority is typically given to siblings of current students, children transferring within the NLCS family, or alumni children.
