Client PlanTo move to Singapore without disrupting her schooling.
ProblemAn August birthday can land a child in an entirely different cohort.
How We HelpedSingapore places international students by age against its own year structure, and AEIS decides the level. In a January-start system an August birthday can land a child in a different cohort entirely, and families arriving mid-northern-year often find a child repeating six months or skipping them. We mapped her birth date against the Singapore year before choosing between the government route and an international school running a September calendar.
OutcomeThe family chose an international school on a September calendar. She entered the cohort she would have been in at home — no repeated half-year, no skipped one, and no mid-year gap in schooling.
