About
Standard 1 to 7:
Lower primary typically refers to students in Standard 1 to 4, where they are introduced to foundational concepts in various subjects. This phase of education focuses on building fundamental skills in areas such as language, mathematics, and science. Students at this stage are encouraged to develop a strong academic base to prepare them for the challenges ahead.
Upper Primary encompasses Standard 5 to 7, where students delve deeper into subject matter and begin to engage with more complex topics. This phase is crucial in shaping students' critical thinking and analytical abilities. They are exposed to a wider range of subjects and are encouraged to explore their interests and strengths.
Upon completion of the syllabus in Upper Primary, students sit for the PSLE (Primary School Leaving Examination), a significant national examination for primary-level students. The PSLE serves as a crucial assessment of students' academic progress and readiness to transition to the next phase of their education.
Prior to the PSLE, students undergo an attainment test at Standard 4, which helps educators evaluate their strengths and areas for improvement. This test provides valuable insights into students' academic performance and informs teaching strategies to better support their learning needs.
