Entry Requirements (Grade 1 to 12)
Students applying to our school, generally fall under 2 entry paths (New to ACE and Transferee from another ACE school). Please follow the appropriate path accordingly.
For new to ACE curriculum:
Every new student will need to undergo an ACE Diagnostic Test. This is to ensure that the student will start their education with PHIA with the appropriate level for them to maximize their learning capability. If there is/are learning gap(s), they will be identified in this test and be addressed accordingly. By doing so, it will have a strong positive impact on the child’s motivation and love for learning.
Parents must attend Parent Orientation to have a deeper understanding on how the program is conducted. During this orientation, parents will dive deep and experience (first hand), what their children will undergo. Having experienced it themselves, they will be able to help their children in their education journey in a more confident way.
For transferees from another ACE school:
The student can continue the PACE’s according to previous school’s record.
Additional entry conditions:
Singapore Citizen: Based on Singapore Government regulations, we can only accept Singapore Citizens as students unless they have obtained approval from the Ministry of Education (MOE). Letter from MOE must be submitted prior to acceptance.
