To join us, students must hold a valid Dependent’s Pass, Long Term Visit Pass, Immigration Exemption Order, or Permanent Residence in Singapore. We currently do not enroll students on Student Pass.
Singaporean citizens (aged 6 or older by either birth or registration) need to receive a Compulsory Education Exemption from the Ministry of Education. Please declare this information at the time of application, and our Admissions Team will submit the necessary applications to MOE before a place at RD American School has been formally offered.

While we welcome students with a range of language backgrounds, applicants must demonstrate at least a foundational level of English to ensure they can engage with the curriculum effectively and participate meaningfully in all aspects of school life.

As part of the admissions process, we meet with each family to assess the student’s readiness to engage positively with peers and the curriculum. This includes age-appropriate evaluations of listening, speaking, reading, writing skills, and social maturity.
While we welcome students from diverse language backgrounds, applicants should demonstrate a foundational level of English to participate meaningfully in school life.
We also take time to discuss educational philosophies and expectations with parents or guardians to ensure strong alignment between the family’s goals and the school’s values.
Following receipt of an application, we invite families to meet with us, either in person or virtually. Some applicants may be asked to complete an English language assessment to determine if we can provide the language support needed.

We welcome students with learning differences; however, our program may not be suitable for all children with learning challenges. Admission is evaluated on a case-by-case basis to ensure our school can provide the necessary support while prioritizing the child’s best interests.
Admission may be declined if:
- The student is unlikely to benefit from our academic program
- Your child is unlikely to thrive in our school community
- The required accommodations or support exceed the school’s available resources
- Incomplete or inaccurate information about the student’s needs is provided during the admissions process.
If, after enrollment, it becomes evident that we cannot adequately support a student, we will work closely with the family to recommend a more suitable educational environment.

All students seeking admission are required to complete our online Application Form, provide all required documents and pay the non-refundable Application Fee of S$500.
