This is a list of secondary schools in Singapore. Most secondary schools offer a four year "express course", or a "special course" for Special Assistance Plan (SAP) schools, as well as a five year "normal course", all of which lead to the Singapore-Cambridge GCE Ordinary Level (O-Levels) examinations. Students in the normal stream may instead sit for the Singapore-Cambridge GCE Normal Level examinations, either NA-Levels or NT-Levels, in their fourth year and continue along their respective post-secondary pathways. These students are however not eligible to enter junior colleges (JCs) to pursue the Singapore-Cambridge GCE Advanced Level (A-Levels), but typically progress to vocational schools such as polytechnics or the Institute of Technical Education (ITE). [1] Some schools also offer a six year Integrated Programme (IP) for more academically inclined students. This pathway leads directly to the Singapore-Cambridge GCE Advanced Level (A-Levels) examinations or the International Baccalaureate Diploma (IB), bypassing the O-Levels entirely. Depending on results, these qualifications allow for direct admission into universities. [2]

Contents

In 2019, the Ministry of Education (MOE) announced that 2026 would be the final examination year for the O-Levels, NA-Levels and NT-Levels. From 2027, all Secondary 4 students will instead take the Singapore-Cambridge Secondary Education Certificate (SEC), which consolidates the three qualifications into a single certificate. This change aligns with the removal of secondary school streaming from 2024, which had previously divided students into separate academic tracks, and was introduced to promote social mobility and reduce elitist perceptions within the education system. [3]

There are also different types of secondary schools in Singapore, depending on their links with the government based on the school's history. Autonomous schools have relatively more autonomy as compared to other government-run secondary schools to plan their own curriculum and activities. [4] However, such schools may charge additional, miscellaneous fees on top of the regular school fees paid by all students attending government or government-aided schools. [4] Independent schools are granted complete autonomy to its own school curriculum, programmes and school fees, the latter of which are significantly higher than government schools. [4]
