11 Top Primary Schools in Singapore

*It is important to note that ACS Primary, which is now currently in Bukit Timah, will be moving to Tengah to become a co-ed school in 2030. Thereafter, the Barker Road campus will only accept male siblings of current students. This is great news for younger families looking to BTO at the up-and-coming Tengah projects, as it is one of the first choice schools in a non-mature estate.

Parents should also be aware that the MOE bases its calculation of the home-school distance (i.e. the distance between your home and the primary school of your choice) on the address where you and your family have resided for the past 30 months. If you have lived in an address that is beyond a 2km radius of the primary school within 30 months, your child will only be eligible for Phase 2C (Supplementary) of the MOE P1 registration.
