Important considerations before you apply

There are some important policies, practices and considerations that you will need to take into account, some of which may affect your child's eligibility to attend the College. Please read through the following information in detail before and acknowledge for each section that you have understood the information for proceeding.

1. Grade placement

This refers to the grade to for your child would be applying. 
 
Why is this important? 

We have age guidelines for each year to ensure that students are placed with others at a similar development stage to benefit the learning of all students in the cohort.

You may seek a grade placement that is above or below our age-grade boundaries with supporting reasons. Please read our guidelines on this. All requests are subject to a detailed review process and the relevant Principal’s final decision.

Need more information? Please read our age-grade placement information

I have checked the Age-Grade Placement chart for the appropriate year of entry.
 

2. Singapore Residency (Day Students Only)

If you are applying as a day student, please confirm that you have read and meet our Residency requirement, as described below and in our Standard Terms and Conditions?

Why is this important? 

It is a requirement of our College Terms and Conditions that all students must reside with at least one parent who is also resident in Singapore and is present in Singapore for at least 90% of each term.

This policy is strictly applied and a student who is found to not be living with a parent, or where both parents are more than occasionally absent from Singapore, will be asked to leave the College.

Need more information? Please read the following policies:


3. Singapore Citizenship

If you intend on applying for a child who is a Singapore Citizen (including dual nationals), your child must meet UWCSEA's Singapore Citizen Policy criteria.

Why is this important? 

We cannot accept an application from any applicant who has a pending Singapore Citizenship application. In addition, applicants to UWCSEA who apply for Singapore Citizenship at any time during their application or enrollment process must disclose this information, and will be asked to withdraw their application and/or have their offer of a place withdrawn by UWCSEA. Refer to Clause 10.5 of our Standard Terms and Conditions.

Singapore Citizen applicants 
Our information for Singapore Citizen applicants requiring a waiver from Singapore MOE can be found here. Please make sure to read in detail should your child be a citizen, or is likely to become a Singapore Citizen at any stage during the application process. 
 


4. English as an Additional Language (EAL)

At UWCSEA teaching instruction is in English, and as such, we have EAL application requirements for students applying to enter the College.   

Why is this important? 

We do not offer any beginner-level English support. Our EAL programme is focused on developing academic reading and writing skills, so students must have appropriate levels of communicative English language skills as described in our guidelines.

Need more information? Please read the following policies:
