Singapore Primary School
Open Houses 2026
Visit schools before P1 registration to find the right fit for your child. Dates, tips, and a checklist to make the most of every visit.
Why Visit Before Registering?
See the Culture
Websites show awards; open houses show whether students are happy. Walk the corridors and talk to parents and teachers in person.
Ask Specific Questions
Ask about Parent Volunteer timelines, CCA commitments, and how the school supports children at different learning paces.
Meet the Community
Other visiting parents will be your future community. It's a good time to sense whether you share values and expectations.

Open House Checklist
What to evaluate at every school visit.
School culture & environment
Walk the corridors — is it welcoming? Are displays student-centred?
Academic programme & support
Ask about learning support, gifted education, and how teachers handle diverse needs.
CCA offerings
What CCAs are available? Are there strong performing arts, sports, or STEM clubs?
Values & ethos
Mission schools have a specific ethos. SAP schools emphasise Chinese culture. Does it align with your family?
Distance from home
Walk or drive the actual route at school start time. Living within 1km matters for Phase 2C priority.
Sibling linkage
Does your older child attend this school? Phase 1 gives siblings guaranteed places.
Parent Volunteer opportunities
Ask how the PV scheme works. 40 hours before Phase 2B gives priority. Slots fill 2–3 years ahead.
Historical registration data
Check our site for Phase 2C vacancy and balloting history before deciding.

Frequently Asked Questions
When do Singapore primary schools hold open houses?
Most Singapore primary schools hold open houses between January and June, before the P1 registration exercise in July. Check each school's website for exact dates as they are updated annually.
Do I need to register for a school open house?
Most schools require online pre-registration due to limited slots. Visit the school's official website to register. Popular schools fill up fast — register as early as possible.
What should I bring to a school open house?
Bring your child, a notepad for notes, and a list of questions about curriculum, CCAs, and school culture. You may also want to time your commute from home to the school on the same day and time you would travel normally.
How many schools should I visit?
Visit 3–5 shortlisted schools. More than that can be overwhelming. Use our School Finder Quiz to narrow down your choices before visiting.
