Submit Registration Form
After you meet our admissions teams, you may complete the registration form.
(Students applying for GIIS scholarships will need to fill up the scholarship form. Our counsellors will guide the applicants and the shortlisted scholars through the entire admissions process, including the submission of the registration form.)
Pay Registration Fee
Once you submit the registration form, you will be prompted to pay a one-time, non-refundable registration fee to secure a seat and a provisional admission confirmation will be issued.
Documents Required
The following documents are required for generation of the E-contract.
(Please check the information shared and the fee details before hitting the ‘Submit’ button.)
Documents to submit:
● Birth Certificate
● Child’s recent passport size photo
● Immunisation record (for GMP and Primary grade)
● Copy of passport (both parents and child)
● Identification Cards (both parents and child)
● Transfer Certificate or School Leaving Certificate
● Any medical documents (where applicable)
Generate E-contract
After the one-time registration fee payment is done and the required documents are ready, you need to upload the documents to generate the E-contract.
Pay Term Fee
As the last step of the admissions process, parents are required to pay the term fee.
Student Recruitment Agents
We have Student Recruitment Agents to facilitate the process for international students.
As per the Singapore Law, students who are Singapore citizens need approval from the Ministry of Education (MOE) to study in an international school. The Admissions Office will submit a request to the MOE for such an approval, before the application can be processed for further review. Parents will be required to write a letter to substantiate their reason to choose an international school for their child.
Please note that in compliance with the requirements of CPE, GIIS is required to purchase insurance on behalf of its students to protect student fees. The coverage takes effect on the day of the fee payment. Students receive a soft copy of the Certificate of Insurance by email from the insurance provider and a hardcopy of the certificate from GIIS on request.
