Details on DSA application – eligibility, categories available, materials needed for submission (e.g., students’ P5 end of year results/ achievements), preparation for student, documents required from teachers, process, timeline
Information is available on MOE website https://www.moe.gov.sg/
For DSA application, it is optional to fill in up to ten non-school based awards/activities and achievements related to the selected talent area(s).
There is no need to submit any supporting document during application.
There is no need to input your child’s primary school information as this will be automatically shared with the DSA-Sec school(s) that you applied to. This includes your child's P5 and P6 academic results, and other information from P4 to P6, i.e., Co-curricular Activities (CCA), Values in Action (VIA) involvement, School-based
achievements/awards such as Edusave awards, National School Games (NSG), Junior Sports Academy (JSA) participation and NAPFA results (only for sports talent)
The child’s PSLE score still matters. Students offered placement in a DSA-Sec school still need a PSLE score that qualifies them for the Posting Group offered by the school.
