Performing Arts domain: Apply by 20 May 2024 (Mon), 3.00pm to be considered for the 1st selection window.
2. For Academic and Leadership & Character domains: Apply by
29 May 2024 (Wed), 3.00pm to be considered for the 1st selection window
This is to ensure the following:
1. Applications can be assessed prior to the June Holidays to circumvent the rush
of submissions towards the end of June. Students are strongly advised against submitting their applications at the last minute to avoid any potential issues with insufficient application information or with the form
2. Early submissions
will enable shortlisted applicants to be scheduled for the 1st Selection Window, to avoid clashing with their preparations for O-Level Mother Tongue papers.

Important Notes
- Meeting all criteria does not guarantee that applicants will be shortlisted or given an offer.
- We will not disclose details of the DSA-JC selection process or interviews, and reserve the right to neither discuss nor disclose reasons for non-selection.
- Students who have been successfully allocated a school via DSA-JC are not allowed to participate in the Joint Admissions Exercise (JAE). They will also not be allowed to transfer to another school after the release of the GCE O-Level examination results. They are expected to honour their commitment to the DSA-JC schools and to participate in activities related to the talent selected in, for the duration of the programme admitted to. Students who do not fulfil their DSA commitment without valid reason may be required to transfer out to another school.
