Important Notes
- Application for DSA-Sec can be submitted through the online DSA-Sec Portal. The application is free-of-charge and will be open from 7 May 2024, 11.00am to 3 Jun 2024, 3.00pm. For more details, please refer to MOE website – www.moe.gov.sg/dsa-sec.
- 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.
- Please note that meeting all the criteria does not guarantee the student will be shortlisted/given an offer and due to different profiles of applicants, selection/shortlisting trends may differ year on year.
- Parents 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Parents/guardians are also encouraged to visit the Raffles Institution Year 1 Admissions webpage regularly for updates on DSA-Sec matters.
