It’s almost that time of the year again, parents and students will be putting on their thinking caps and shortlisting suitable secondary schools. The Direct School Application for secondary schools (DSA-Sec) allows students to apply and secure their spot even before sitting for their PSLE! The DSA considers a wide range of talents is it in sports, performing arts, or academic areas.
The application period is typically from May through June. Shortlisted applicants may be required to sit for interviews, auditions and trials sometime in August or September. Finally, by October, applicants may shortlist 3 choices before receiving their DSA-Sec application outcomes in November.
With all the different options available, parents may be confused as they sift through the information. To make your decision-making process smoother and more effective, Our Learning Lodge has compiled a list of the various schools in the West and sorted them according to the DSA talent areas. This list was curated based on the 2020 DSA-Sec School information. Do refer to the MOE website for the latest information.
