Year 1 Direct School Admission

Primary 6 (P6) male students who are keen to join Raffles Institution (RI) in Academic Year 2026 may apply for the DSA-Sec through the following talent areas:

1. Application for DSA-Sec can be submitted through the online DSA-Sec Portal. The application is free-of-charge and will be open from 07 May 2025, 11.00am to 03 June 2025, 3.00pm. For more details, please refer to MOE website – www.moe.gov.sg/dsa-sec

    

2. Meeting all the criteria does not guarantee the student will be shortlisted/given an offer.  Additionally, due to different profiles of applicants, selection/shortlisting trends may differ year on year.  Applicants who do not have prior experience may also apply. The school will assess applicants based on the selection criteria, which may include assessing the potential of the applicants.

    

3. Parents/guardians and applicants are requested to take note of the criteria and dates for each talent area’s selection test/trial/interview.  This would help avoid scheduling conflicts in the event that an applicant is shortlisted.

    

4. Parents/guardians and students are encouraged to choose schools wisely based on the student’s aptitudes and strengths, bearing in mind the school’s academic and non-academic requirements and the programmes available to develop the area of talent.

    

5. Students who are successfully admitted to the school via DSA are expected to honour their commitment to the school for the duration of the 6-year Integrated Programme and participate in the activities related to the talent they are selected for from Year 1-4.

    

6. As the primary mode of communication is via email, parents/guardians are reminded to regularly check both the inbox and junk/spam folders of the email address provided in the DSA-Sec Portal throughout the DSA period for important updates, announcements, and instructions.
