Leave of Absence

Apply for Leave of Absence to keep your child enrolled while overseas, so they can return to the same school when back in Singapore.

Last updated 5 June 2026

What is the Leave of Absence (LOA) Scheme?

The LOA scheme allows your child to rejoin the school after returning from overseas. While on LOA, they remain a registered student and can be re-admitted directly upon return.

If your child is granted LOA, they will remain as a registered student of the school. They can then be re-admitted to the school directly after returning to Singapore. The LOA is tagged to your child’s current school and cannot be transferred to another school.

Please refer to MOE website (https://www.moe.gov.sg/returning-singaporeans) for more information.
