Application Form

• Currently, there are no places for Singapore Citizens; therefore we are unable to accept any new applications for Singapore Citizen applicants at this time.
• Please note that a separate application must be submitted for each child you wish to enrol in the school.
• Upon submission of your application, you will receive an email confirmation stating your application has been successfully submitted.
• If you do not receive this confirmation email, your application has not been successful, and you will need to contact our Admissions team. Make sure to quote your child's full name and date of birth.

The Admissions Team will contact you within 2 weeks of your submission to inform you of the next stage of the application process. For further information regarding the admissions process, please see below.

Online Application is submitted 

This is only complete when all required documents are provided, and the application fee is paid. Please note that we receive significantly more applications than places available, and therefore there is no guarantee that an application will result in an offer of a place.

We will accept applications up to 2 years (24 months) in advance of the date of enrolment. We strongly advise early applications as we will close the Admissions Pool to new applicants of Grades, where we have received many applications.

When the application is approved, it is immediately placed in the Admissions Pool for the Grade and year indicated on the online application form. You will not be able to change the application date to another enrolment date. However, you can bring the date to an earlier enrolment, subject to the school's approval.

As soon as a vacancy arrives, we will assess your child's application against our Entrance Criteria (see the Terms & Conditions). If they are suitable for the place, we will contact you for an assessment indicating when the enrolment will be, e.g. term 2. Please note that we cannot admit a wide spectrum of learning needs (including English as a second language) as we have limited resources. If your child has or is currently receiving learning support, you may contact us for more information.

If no vacancies are available for the Grade and year you have applied for, your child's application is automatically rolled over to the next Grade and year until the end of Term 1, Grade 6. The Admissions Team will contact you regarding the options by February of Grade 6.

The Admissions Office will contact parents to arrange a suitable time to assess the student. Prep 1 to Grade 1 will undertake an observation assessment, and Grade 2 to Grade 6 a computerised and written assessment and interview.

Our Admissions Review Committee (chaired by the Director of Advancement, Communication Admissions) conducts a holistic review of the applicants taking into account all the submitted documents, the observation/admissions test and interview results.

The Admissions Review Committee makes one of the following decisions: a) To offer a definite place; b) To inform parents that the application is unsuccessful on this occasion.

Our Admissions Office will inform parents of the outcome of the Admissions process as soon as a decision is made. If the applicant is offered a place, parents will be asked to confirm acceptance within the designated time (usually two weeks). Please note that we do not allow deferments to another Grade or term. We will remove the applicant from the admissions pool if you do not accept the offer. This does not preclude you from applying again to SJI International for another Grade in the future.

After 'acceptance of a place' is received by the school, you need to pay the non-refundable enrolment fee. A student contract will be sent to you via DocuSign to sign your confirmation of the intended enrolment electronically.
Upon completion of the Student Contract, our Finance Department will invoice you for the school fees for the term. 

When a student is transferring from one international school to another, and we receive notification from the current school of outstanding financial obligations, we will delay the student’s admission until a satisfactory arrangement to settle the account has been made.
