What is the AEIS?
The AEIS is a process designed for international students who are aiming to secure admission to Primary 2 to 5 and Secondary 1 to 3 in a local school for the upcoming academic year. During the AEIS examination, only English and Mathematics concepts are tested.
​
This exercise usually commences in July and those who are accepted start attending school in January of the subsequent year. The admission process varies slightly depending on whether your child is applying for primary or secondary school.
Application Process for Primary School Applicants
1
Apply and take the relevant CEQ test
At least 12 months before the AEIS, primary school candidates are required to undergo the relevant Cambridge English Qualifications (CEQ) assessment administered by Cambridge Assessment English (CAE).
2
Apply for the AEIS Primary Maths Test
If your child has achieved the necessary CES score in the CEQ examination, they can apply for the corresponding AEIS-Primary Maths assessment. Applications may close early when all places for the AEIS test are filled.
3
Take the AEIS Primary Maths Test
Upon approval and successful payment, you will receive an email of your child’s entry confirmation. Subsequently, your child will have to sit in for his or her examination at some time in September.
Application Process for Secondary School Applicants
1
Apply to take the AEIS Secondary tests
To gain admission to a local secondary school, overseas applicants are required to apply for the AEIS Secondary exams which consist of an English and Mathematics paper. Applications may close early when all vacancies are filled.
2
Take the AEIS Secondary tests
Once your application and payment are completed successfully, you will receive an email with your child’s entry proof. They will then proceed to take their English and Mathematics papers at some time in September.
