Utrust Global Education provides guidance through Singapore’s robust and highly respected education system, ensuring that students receive the foundational knowledge and skills needed for future academic success.
A World-Class Education for Your Child
Choosing a primary school in Singapore offers a unique blend of affordability, quality, and cultural preservation. With its internationally recognized bilingual education system and supportive policies for families, Singapore provides a nurturing environment that helps students excel academically and culturally.
Why Choose Primary School in Singapore?
Affordable Tuition Fees
The annual tuition fee for government schools ranges from approximately RMB 50,000 to 60,000. This is notably lower than the sponsorship fees for domestic public schools and even less than the fees for private schools in the domestic market.
Bilingual Education
Students in Singapore benefit from bilingual teaching and receive an international education while preserving traditional Chinese cultural values. Early exposure to the Commonwealth education system provides a strong foundation, preparing students well for admission to world-renowned universities in the future.
Supportive Accompaniment Policy
Parents can apply for a Dependent Pass or Long-Term Visit Pass (LTVP) to stay with their children attending primary school in Singapore. These visas allow parents to support their child's education, with employment possible through a separate Work Pass, though not automatically tied to the child’s visa.
Affordable Education Costs
Scholarships for primary school students are less common than at the secondary level, but financial assistance programs are available to support families. These programs help cover tuition and educational expenses, promoting inclusivity and access to quality education. Parents can explore options from individual schools and government initiatives.
A Bright Future Awaits
With affordable tuition, scholarship opportunities, and pathways to world-
renowned universities, Singapore’s primary education system equips students
with the tools for a successful future. The supportive accompaniment policy
ensures that both parents and students have a smooth and enriching journey
throughout their academic experience.
