Admission Process

Enrolment at St. Anthony's Canossian Primary School follows the standard MOE Primary 1 Registration Exercise, which is conducted in phases across the middle of each year.

Phase 1 is reserved for children who have a sibling currently studying at the school. Phase 2A accommodates children whose parents are alumni, staff members, or who have connections to the school's affiliated institutions or the Catholic church community. Phase 2B is open to children whose parents have volunteered at the school for at least 40 hours or who are endorsed by the church or an approved community organisation. Phase 2C is the open phase available to all Singaporean citizens and permanent residents who did not secure a place in earlier phases.

Within each phase, priority is given to Singapore citizens, followed by permanent residents. Home-to-school distance is used as a tiebreaker, with children living within 1 km of the school given first priority, followed by those within 1 to 2 km. If the number of applicants exceeds available places in any phase, MOE conducts a ballot. Applications are submitted online through the MOE Primary 1 Registration portal during the designated window for each phase.

Curriculum and Academic Programme

The academic programme at St. Anthony's Canossian Primary School follows the MOE national curriculum. Core subjects taught from Primary 1 to Primary 6 include English Language, Mathematics, and Mother Tongue Languages (Chinese, Malay, or Tamil). Science and Social Studies are introduced at the upper primary level. Students may also take Higher Mother Tongue Languages where eligible, and Foundation-level subjects are available for those who benefit from additional support in specific areas.

Beyond the examinable subjects, students participate in Art, Music, and Physical Education throughout their primary years. The school's Inno-Eco-Creator Programme integrates sustainability concepts with hands-on STEM activities, encouraging students to think critically about environmental issues and develop practical problem-solving skills. At the upper primary level, the curriculum is structured to build readiness for the Primary School Leaving Examination across all key subjects.

For families seeking additional support in Mathematics, DeepThink is a math tuition centre that offers structured programmes aligned with the MOE primary syllabus, helping students strengthen their conceptual understanding and exam technique from the lower to upper primary levels.

The Learning for Life Programme in arts education plays a central role in building students' confidence and emotional expression. Through exposure to music, dance, drama, and visual arts, students develop an appreciation for the arts while learning to collaborate, communicate, and present their ideas.

Family involvement is encouraged through regular school events, parent-teacher meetings, and volunteer opportunities. The single-session structure allows for after-school enrichment, remedial support, and CCA participation within the school day, giving students a predictable routine. As a girls' school, the environment is designed to foster strong peer relationships and a sense of belonging among students as they progress through their primary years.
