Application Process

Application Process

Under the Compulsory Education (CE) Act, children who are Singapore Citizens must be placed in a national primary or special education school when he/she reaches the Primary 1 or equivalent school entry age.

With effect from 1 January 2023, a child applying for placement in Primary 1 / Junior 1 in a government-funded SPED school can only be placed on the waitlist* if the child has first been placed in another government-funded SPED school which serves the same primary diagnosed condition. Please refer to this link for the list of SPED schools categorised by the primary diagnosed conditions.

*Waitlist refers to a list of children who are found suitable by Eden School, but the school does not have vacancy for the child.

This requirement will also apply to returning Singaporeans entering SPED schools at all levels.

Transfer from Mainstream

With effect from 10 October 2022, applications for a transfer from a mainstream school to a SPED school must be facilitated through the student’s mainstream school. Please approach the mainstream school Principal to apply for the transfer.

Direct applications from parents/legal guardians, private professionals, and hospitals will not be accepted. For more information, please visit https://www.moe.gov.sg/special-educational-needs/apply.

Parents to Note:
