(SINGAPORE AIRLINES)
THE SINGAPORE SCHOOL SYSTEM
The Singapore education system aims to bring out the best in every student, developing sound moral values and the skills
necessary to meet the demands of a rapidly changing world.
Students begin their education by entering primary school at age 6+, where they spend 6 years learning basic subjects
and beginning the study of English and a mother tongue language. Except for selected subjects taught in the mother
tongue, English is the language of instruction in all Singapore schools. Students next proceed to the secondary level for 4
years of study to prepare for the Singapore-Cambridge General Certificate of Education (Ordinary) Examination (GCE O-
Level) or equivalent. Those who perform well can enroll at junior colleges for 2 years of study to prepare for the
Singapore-Cambridge General Certificate of Education (Advanced) Examination (GCE A-Level) or equivalent.
Apart from the formal school curriculum, students participate in co-curricular activities (CCAs) which provide healthy
recreation, and instill self-discipline, teamwork and confidence in the students. The character development and physical
growth of each child is hence provided for.
For secondary schools, the academic year consists of 4 terms of 10 weeks each, beginning on the first working weekday
in January and ending in mid November. For pre-university studies, the academic year begins in late January/early
February and ends in mid November.
SIA YOUTH SCHOLARSHIP
Singapore Airlines is offering scholarships for a 2-year pre-university course in selected junior colleges in Singapore. The
Pre-University 1* and 2 studies lead to the Singapore-Cambridge GCE A-Level (or equivalent), which is an internationally
recognised qualification.
* Singaporean students turn age 17 in Pre-University 1.
