2026 AEIS & SPERS Registrations Are Open: Secure Your Child’s Place in a Singapore Government School
Singapore’s government school system holds a global reputation for academic rigour and well-rounded student development， and the 2026 AEIS SPERS registration process is vital for parents seeking placement in Singapore's prestigious educational system. If you plan to enrol your child as an international student, or if your family is returning home as Singapore Citizens (SC) or Permanent Residents (PR), the centralised admissions exercises, including the 2026 AEIS SPERS registration, over the next few months will determine your child’s academic trajectory for 2027.
AEIS Registration 2026: The Critical Window for International Students
Registration for the Admissions Exercise for International Students (AEIS) is officially live. The primary school portal opened on July 7, followed by the secondary school portal on July 8. Students will sit for their standardized exams during the first week of September.
Historically, slots for highly sought-after cohorts—especially Primary 4 and 5—fill up within just two to 48 hours. The Ministry of Education (MOE) closes the system the moment testing centers reach capacity, regardless of the official mid-July deadline. To ensure your child secures a seat, gather the following documents and complete the online registration today:
- Your child’s birth certificate (include a certified English translation if applicable).
- Your child’s passport data page (ensure at least six months of validity).
- Both parents’ passport data pages.
- Both parents’ Singapore NRICs (if applicable).
- Registration fees: $340 for Primary and $670 for Secondary (payable online via Visa or Mastercard only).
SPERS: The Exclusive Route for Returning Citizens and PRs
If your family recently relocated back to Singapore, the MOE offers the School Placement Exercise for Returning Singaporeans (SPERS). Moving across borders completely disrupts a child's routine. SPERS simplifies school admissions by matching your child with a school that perfectly fits their current academic level, helping them rebuild their peer network and settle into a familiar rhythm quickly.
SPERS-Sec (Secondary 1 to 3)
Registration runs from July 8 to July 17. Students take the English and Mathematics exams between September 1 and 3.
SPERS-JC/MI (Junior College and Millennia Institute)
Registration opens today, July 9, 2026, and runs through October 16. The November 6 exam evaluates students on English, Mathematics, and General Ability. Singapore Citizens pay a $12 administration fee, while PRs pay a $160 exam fee.
SPERS evaluates your child's capabilities precisely, delivers posting results in December, and allows them to step confidently into their new campus by January 2027.
AEIS & SPERS Exam Preparation: Master the Syllabus, Skip Rote Memorization
For both AEIS and SPERS candidates, English and Mathematics consistently present the steepest learning curves. The Singapore syllabus requires students to process dense information during reading comprehension, apply rigorous logic in cloze passages, and write essays that reflect local social contexts. Even children who achieved top grades overseas frequently feel frustrated by these new formats.

We equip students with efficient reading strategies, sharp logical deduction techniques, and practical writing frameworks. This highly targeted approach steadily improves their test scores, builds their mental resilience against tough questions, and cultivates the independent thinking habits they need to thrive in a real-world classroom.
