Here is the full list of specialised independent schools in Singapore.
Specialised independent schools are secondary schools that the Ministry of Education (MOE) set aside for students who demonstrate strong ability and interest in areas like mathematics, the sciences, sports and the arts.
These schools do not participate in the Secondary One (S1) Posting Exercise.
Students seeking admission to these four schools, except the Singapore Sports School, must apply through the Direct School Admissions (DSA) process. Students seeking admission to the Singapore Sports School must apply directly to the school.
