Parents and students are encouraged to choose wisely based on the student’s aptitudes and strengths, bearing in mind our school’s academic and non-academic requirements, and the programmes that are available to develop the area of talent.

Successful students, regardless of stream, will gain admission into FMS(S) for the academic year beginning January 2024 and will complete their secondary school education in FMS(S) as long as they meet the set criteria for DSA to FMS(S) and pass the PSLE.
