🇸🇬 Homeschooling in Singapore

Home-schooling is allowed in Singapore only with an exemption from the Ministry of Education. Singapore Citizens born after 1 January 1996 and living in Singapore must attend a national primary school unless MOE grants an exemption from Compulsory Education, and home-schooled children must later sit the PSLE and meet a set benchmark.

Compulsory Education applies to Singapore Citizens of compulsory school age (above 6 and under 15) who live in Singapore.
Apply to MOE's Compulsory Education Unit for an exemption well before your child would start Primary 1.
To be approved you need to satisfy the objectives of Compulsory Education, provide an academic learning plan for English Language, Mother Tongue Language, Mathematics and Science, provide a teaching plan for Character and Citizenship Education, and have the necessary qualifications.
Home-schooled children must sit the PSLE in those four subjects at standard level and meet a benchmark pegged at the 33rd percentile of national primary school students that year.
They also take a National Education quiz before the PSLE.
Requirements are reviewed from time to time, so check MOE's website for the current rules before you apply.

Frequently asked questions

Is homeschooling legal in Singapore?

Can I use these games for homeschooling?

Yes. All 67 games, the printable worksheets and the Daily Maths Challenge are free, with no sign-up. Many homeschool families use them for short daily practice alongside their main lessons.

How many hours a day should we homeschool?

There is no single answer. Younger children often need only 1–3 hours of focused learning a day, because one-on-one teaching is efficient. Older children usually do more.
