P6 students can gain direct entry to certain secondary schools based on their talent in sports, CCAs and specific academic areas, etc, before taking the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE).</p> <p>If your child is admitted to a secondary school through DSA-Sec, they are <strong>not</strong> allowed to:</p> <ul> <li>Submit school choices during the Secondary 1 (S1) posting process.</li> <li>Transfer to another school. They <strong>must</strong> commit to their chosen school for the duration of the programme.</li> </ul> However, the DSA-Sec is not a pathway that suits every student.<br /> <br /> To determine if DSA-Sec is an appropriate pathway for your child, you should carefully consider your child's strengths and interests, and the school's programmes and their ability to develop specific talent.<br /> <br /> Explore the list of schools and programmes for DSA-Sec using SchoolFinder.<br /> <br /> <a class="moe-btn m-b:0 type--primary size--small" href="http://www.moe.gov.sg/schoolfinder?journey=Secondary%20school&q=*&fq=school_journey_ss%3A%22Secondary%20school%22&fq=admission_types_dsa_b%3A%20true&fl=*&sort=school_name_s%20asc"> View DSA-SEC schools<br /> <span class="icon-arrow-right va:m fz:2xl"></span> </a></span> <h2>Who can apply</h2> <p>P6 students can apply for DSA-Sec based on a wide-range of talents, including:</p> <ul> <li>Sports and games</li> <li>Visual, literary and performing arts</li> <li>Debate and public speaking</li> <li>Science, mathematics and engineering</li> <li>Languages and humanities</li> <li>Uniformed groups</li> <li>Leadership</li> </ul> <h2>How to apply</h2> <p>Students can apply through the DSA-Sec Portal. There are no application fees.<br /> <br /> If you are unable to apply online, approach your child's primary school for assistance.<br /> <br /> If <strong>both </strong>parents are unable to submit the application form personally at school during DSA-Sec application period, you have to nominate another adult to do so using this <a rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://go.gov.sg/proxy-form" target="_blank">proxy form</a>. You can also use the same form to appoint a proxy to submit your child's school preference form in October.</p> <span class="shortcode-tag-color" style="background-color: #f0fc03;"><h2 class="moe-notes">KEY DATES</h2> <article class="moe-timeline">   <section class="moe-timeline__item m-b:2xl tablet(m-b:3xl)"> <span class="moe-label m-b:s">Jan to May</span> <div class="moe-typeset contain"></span> <h3 id="key-dates">Explore school choices</h3> <p>Schools offer different talent areas and each has its own selection process and schedule.
