A-LEVEL PRIVATE CANDIDATES

 

This is a 10-month programme. Ideally you should enrol in January as the A-Levels is a rigorous exam.

Subjects currently offered: H2 Math, H2 Physics, H2 Chemistry, H2 Economics, H2 Management of Business, H1 General paper.

Note that if you are a private candidate re-taking the A-Levels, to get into a local university like NUS or NTU, you will only need to do GP and 3 H2 subjects. Total 4 subjects. You don’t need to redo your H1 content subject or PW or MT.

Although you will need to do 4 subjects at the A-Levels, at Singapore Learner Academy, you can choose to sign up for less than 4 subjects if you feel that you can study the remaining subjects by yourself.

Administrative and Operational Matters:

Education days: Mon, Tue, Thur, and Fri and weekends (for practicals), except public holidays and some government school holidays. Students need to come only on days for which they have official lessons.

Education hours: Depending on availability, you can choose to attend classes in the mornings, afternoons or evenings: 10.45 am – 12.45 pm, 1.45 pm – 3.45 pm, 7.30 pm – 9.30 pm (Not all these sessions will be utilized in a single day).

Education calendar: In terms of weeks, terms, months and semester of study as well as no-lesson days, SLA generally follows the same academic calendar as those of government secondary schools and junior colleges in Singapore, so that families and staff with children in public secondary schools can better align their social activities. However, graduating students may be asked to attend extra lessons or take internal examinations in the June holidays.
