The jump from primary to secondary school is a huge milestone—new subjects, new friends, and a whole new environment! But with so many options out there, how do you find the right school for your child?
That’s where open houses come in! A peek into the school grounds, meeting the teachers and students, and experiencing the school’s vibe can make all the difference in helping your child choose a place where they’ll thrive. Here’s how you can make the most of the experience.
💬Talk to Your Child About Their Strengths & Interests
Before diving into school brochures, take a step back and have a heart-to-heart with your child.
What do they love about school?
What subjects or activities make them excited?
What worries them most about secondary school?
Get them to rank what’s most important—fun CCAs, strong academic support, leadership opportunities, or even canteen food! You’d be surprised at what matters most to them.
🏫Look Beyond Just Academics
A good school isn’t just about grades. Consider:
✅ The school’s learning culture & ethos
✅ Unique programmes (e.g., STEM, arts, sports)
✅ CCAs & student leadership opportunities
✅ Distance from home (trust us, travel time matters!)
Each of these plays a role in shaping your child’s secondary school experience.
3️⃣ Shortlist Schools Together 🎯
Using MOE’s SchoolFinder, explore different schools and create a list of options that fit your child’s personality, interests, and academic ability. Aim for a mix of:
✔️ Ambitious choices
✔️ Safe bets
✔️ Schools where your child’s PSLE score is stronger than the cut-off point
This way, you’ll have a well-balanced list when it’s time to submit your school choices.
4️⃣ Attend Open Houses (Virtual & Physical!) 🚪🎈
This is where the real magic happens! Watching school videos and reading testimonials is one thing, but nothing beats experiencing the school firsthand.
If attending a physical open house:
Get involved! Take part in activities and speak to students.
Encourage your child to ask questions—How’s the school culture? What’s their favourite part of school life?
Observe their reactions—Do they look excited? Comfortable? Inspired?
Afterwards, chat with your child about their experience. Their instincts matter!
Pro Tip: Maximize Your 6 School Choices
To increase the chances of getting into a preferred school:
✅ Use all 6 choices wisely
✅ Rank top preferences higher to improve the tie-breaker chances
✅ Include 2-3 schools where your child’s PSLE score is above last year’s cut-off
Most importantly—have fun! This is a special moment in your child’s journey, so enjoy the process together.
