What is DSA-Sec? 

Direct School Admission for secondary schools (DSA-Sec) allows students to apply to some schools before taking the PSLE.

Students apply based on their talent in sports, CCAs and specific academic areas.

If your child is admitted to a secondary school through DSA-Sec, they are not allowed to:

• Submit school choices during the Secondary 1 (S1) posting process.
• Transfer to another school. They must commit to their chosen school for the duration of the programme.

Who can apply

Primary 6 students can apply for DSA-Sec based on a wide-range of talents, including:

• Sports and games
• Visual, literary and performing arts
• Debate and public speaking
• Science, mathematics and engineering
• Languages and humanities
• Uniformed groups
• Leadership (for example, prefects)

How to apply

Students can apply through the DSA-Sec portal. There are no application fees.
