School Of The Arts, Singapore

Your child’s school is wrong. JA is not compulsory and does not guarantee your child a place in SOTA.

Hello everyone! I'm really keen to transfer into SOTA for music next year. And I was wondering if there are any SOTA students or parents whom can tell me whether is there any vacancy for Year 3 next year? Thank you in advance!

Same!!! Except I'm trying to transfer in for visual arts in year 3 next year.. I still am not clear on details for the transfer and I'm scared I can't make it because even though my PSLE score was okay my current scores aren't good...anyway al the best also, hope we will get more details on the transfer soon

Hi!!! So glad to hear from someone who is going to the talent academy on this December. Same age too!!! I'm really scared that they will not accept transfers this year as there are no vacancies in SOTA... Fingers crossed :xedfingers: , hopefully there are vacancies for us to transfer! Anyway, good luck for your portfolio(for TA)! :rahrah:

So I heard they have contributed 7 perfect scorers to the total of 66. Anyone here can confirm that?

I only know 2 so far.

If students need to go to SOTA after PSLE in the arts, do they see the aggregrate score? Is it important to have good score? For arts, what is the most important thing they look for. Thank you.

Yes Blue Pearl, they will still need to see that the PSLE score meets their minimum requirement. I personally think one would need a good PSLE score coz IB (or even O levels for that matter) isn't easy. So in order for the child to be able to cope with the art form and curriculum, a good PSLE score would be preferable.

As for what they look for in the arts, think you can check their website or ask during their open house or open symposium.
