Hiyo err i would just like to check am i supposed to summit my online application form or mail them the details first (for theatre auditions)?But i cannot help feeling paranoid that i wont pass the exam and i am afraid that i am not very good at answering questions and i do not know what to do for the writing excersise does any parent have any advice? :scared: oh and i would like to ask what competitions do theatre students go to,do they travel overseas and after they graduate what schools can they opt for in the case of theatre?Lastly,i would like to thank limws1 for taking the time to answer my never-ending questions :udawoman:

Hi, everyone!

I’m new to this forum.
I’m a mother with 2 girls in P2 & P4.
Just wondering if Sota accept special needs students, like adhd, mild autism or dyslexia and are talented in arts.

If im not wrong sota can accept these students however the chances are alot slimmer but do not feel disheartened if they have a strong talent for it sota can still accept them and for still wanting your girls to study there though there are difficulties u are an awesome parent :ugogirl:

thanks, kiasu newbie!


when u say 'if i'm not wrong...' , is that mean u've heard about sota students who are children with special needs?

i actually read this forum from page 1
i could not find any discussion about sota students who have any physical or psycological challenge.

anyway, let's just hope they have the same fair chance as their peers.

Hi Hakodate,

Call Sota directly for your solution. Check out the link below

PS: Calling members who have trusted sources and teaching staff as friends, help needed here.

I called sota admission offc today, the lady who answered my call said sota does accept students with special needs.
During the TA, the child has to bring a medical cert explaining the condition (severe / mild).
The school does not have any teacher who are certified to teach children with special needs, so the child has to be in high functioning spectrum and able to study in mainstream school.

I also asked about the exemption of Mother Tongue subject, as Sota is using IB program for its academic curriculum.
If the child has been exempted from MT since primary school, exemption can be re-applied for secondary level to MOE.

Although no second language subject, the child still have to take a subject (sorry, I forgot the name) about cultural study.
In year 5&6, the child has to take second language (basic level) with a choice of German or (sorry, I also forgot about the other one!).

Hope this help!

Hi Hakodate, I'm glad that you've made the call. I hope you will not hesitate to apply to the TA for your children when the time comes. Meanwhile, start collecting all artworks of your children. They will come in handy when it is needed (I'm assuming they will be in Visual Arts?).

Is it Ab Initio Malay etc...?? I'm not quite sure too but it's some foundation language thingy.

By then, some regulations may have changed. Keep yourself updated.

Good Luck!

As you have found out from SOTA, they do accept students with special needs. My daughter is studying in SOTA and she is dyslexic but a high-functional one.
