Top Primary Schools: East Region of Singapore

3 min read
Top Primary Schools: East Region of Singapore

With 7 out of 21 schools obtaining the coveted Special Award, parents, you may want to consider re-locating your family to the East.

If you live around the Eastern region of Singapore, then you’re probably looking for the best primary schools in the East to enrol your child at. To help you find the many options you have, we’ve listed down the top primary schools in the East. 

We hope this list can make it easier for parents to find the perfect school for their child. After all, primary school is a crucial stage in your child’s school life so we understand if you want to ensure that your child’s future remains bright in one of these choices.

How Are These Schools Ranked?

These rankings are based on the number of MOE accolades that each school receives which can be seen when you visit the official website for MOE’s School Information Services (SIS). You will be able to see the awards and other achievements of the primary school you’re looking for in their “School Outcomes” tab. 

Since MOE’s decision to simplify the way they recognise schools from 2014, these are the awards that have been given more emphasis for schools:

  • Social Distinction Award (SDA)
  • Outstanding Development Award (ODA)
  • Development Award (DA)
  • The Best Practice Award (BPA)
