Admissions at SJK
Admission into the Primary Years Programme
A Community Of Learners
Children from Junior Kindergarten through Grade 6 begin their educational journey at SJK in our Lower School in the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP). SJK students are supported in developing their own voice, choice, and ownership over their own learning to become internationally-minded lifelong learners. Through this process, the community fosters the development of the attributes of the IB Learner Profile, where children are: Inquirers, Risk-takers, Thinkers and Communicators who are Knowledgeable, Principled, Open-minded, Caring, Balanced and Reflective.
SJK values high standards of conduct, academic achievement, learning and teaching. We have respect for each other, our environment, traditions and ourselves. We welcome applications from students who share these values. SJK students love to learn, and we welcome motivated and passionate students who believe that SJK will help them to achieve their goals, and who want to make the most of their SJK experience, in and out of the classroom.
"SJK has a lot to offer, including simply belonging to a community that shares a set of core values and a perspective on the world. For many students, that alone is a transformative experience."

SJK accepts and reviews applications on a rolling basis, starting in August the year before entry. Our first offers of admission are typically extended in mid-October.
Admission to SJK is competitive. As such, we encourage interested candidates to submit an application early. As we attract more applicants than we have spaces available, we are not able to offer admission to all qualified candidates.
