When do JC open houses happen in Singapore?

JC open houses almost always fall in January, typically in the one to two weeks immediately after JAE posting results are released (usually the second week of January). A few JCs hold preview events in October or November for secondary school students who want an early look before they submit JAE choices. Check each school's website from December onward for confirmed dates.

Can I attend open houses for schools I did not apply to or may not qualify for?

Yes. Open houses are open to all prospective students and their parents, regardless of L1R5 scores or prior application history. Attending a school's open house does not obligate you to apply, and schools do not track attendance for admissions purposes. Visiting several schools - including reach, target, and safety options - is strongly encouraged.

Are open houses compulsory?

No. Open houses are entirely optional. However, students who skip open houses often report difficulty comparing schools solely on paper, particularly when assessing school culture and CCA offerings. If you cannot attend the main open house, contact the school's general office to ask about school tours or alternative visit arrangements.

What should I bring to an open house?

Bring a list of your prepared questions (see the section above), a notebook or phone for notes, and comfortable shoes for walking the campus. If the school requires registration, bring your student ID. Parents attending with their child should also bring a list of their own questions - pastoral care, school fees, and uniform costs are practical questions that students sometimes forget to ask.

How do I register for a JC or IP school open house?

Each school manages its own registration independently. Visit the school's official website and look for an "Open House" page, usually listed under "Admissions" or "Events." Most schools open registration two to four weeks before the event. Some popular schools fill up quickly - register as soon as the form is live.

Q: Where can I find all Singapore school open house dates in one place?
A: This page aggregates open house dates for all 20 JCs (including Millennia Institute), all 16 IP schools, and secondary schools for 2026 and 2027. Each row links directly to the school's official site so you can register or confirm dates as they are announced.

Why attend open houses

Attending an open house is one of the most practical steps in the school selection process. Unlike brochures or school websites, open houses let you:

Walk the campus and evaluate commute time, facilities, and environment firsthand
Ask current students - not admissions staff - what daily school life is actually like
Compare subject combinations, CCAs, and enrichment programmes across schools on the same terms
Clarify admission requirements and cut-off point ranges with teachers before you submit your choices

For students choosing between the IP and O-Level routes or shortlisting JCs after JAE, open houses provide evidence that no ranking table can replace.
