Honing a talent in a specialised school
Students with talents in specific areas can apply to specialised independent schools in Singapore via the Direct School Admission scheme. These schools offer tailored curricula and flexible pathways that foster deep passions in students.
Specialised independent schools in Singapore, such as NUS High School for Maths and Science and School of Science and Technology, offer students with talents in specific areas a tailored education. Students apply via the Direct School Admission scheme, which involves tests, trials, or portfolios. Yee Hong Shyan, a 15-year-old student, was admitted to NUS High School due to his passion for maths and physics. The School of Science and Technology assesses students through a written test and a group-based STEAM challenge. Students like Lucas Sow, who is now chairperson of the student council, have benefited from the schools' curricula and peer collaboration. Most students in these schools take the Singapore-Cambridge Secondary Education Certificate exam, while some are on an integrated diploma programme.
