To continue an existing admissions process, please log in to your account to submit an application and upload documents. Applications are considered in chronological order of receipt, and each applicant is reviewed individually and independently

All required forms and documents can be submitted online. The non-refundable Application Fee must be paid to be considered for admission.  If you cannot locate any documents that are required during the application, please upload a temporary placeholder to complete the application.

A dedicated Admissions Manager will assist you with any queries and advise you of the relevant pre-course counselling details.

Step 3: Assessment and/or Interview

Some applicants will be invited to an English language proficiency assessment and/or an admissions meeting during the review process. After an application is received, the admissions team will advise you of the next steps.

Step 4: Application Review

The AIS Review Team reviews the application to ensure students can fully access and thrive in our programs. Applications are reviewed only after all required documents are submitted. Any delays in submitting documents will also delay the review process.

Dependent Visa Holders

If a student enrols as a dependent pass holder, the dependent pass must be approved before the student can attend classes.

Singapore Nationality/Singapore Passport Holders

Approval is required from the Ministry of Education (MOE) before a Singaporean applicant (7 years old and above) is allowed to attend classes at AIS. The AIS applications team will send the application for approval by the MOE once an offer of admission is extended.

Student Pass

  • The following students will require a Student Pass:
    • Students whose parents are Permanent Residents of Singapore but the student is not
    • Students who are not eligible for a Dependent’s Pass (for example, stepchildren)
    • Where neither parent has an Employment Pass

      If your child requires a Student Pass to study at AIS, the school will initiate the registration process with the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) after offering your child a place. However, the final approval rests with the ICA.

      Important to Note:
    • A place at AIS is not guaranteed until the ICA issues the Student Pass.
    • Students can only begin classes once ICA issues the Student Pass.
    • Students must meet the minimum 90% monthly attendance requirements stipulated by the ICA.

The school will determine on a case-by-case basis if English as an Additional Langugae (EAL) support is required as a condition of continued enrolment. This EAL Program Fee is payable by term in addition to the Tuition Fee.
