Secondary School Open House Dates

Choosing the right secondary school is a major milestone for Primary 6 students and their families. Beyond PSLE scores and school rankings, finding a school that fits your child’s learning style, interests, and personality is just as important. One of the best ways to gain meaningful insight is by attending secondary school open houses.

Attending an open house allows you to interact with teachers, students, and school leaders, helping you make a more informed decision about the best fit for your child.

When do secondary school open houses usually happen?

• November

  This is the main open house season. Most secondary schools hold their open houses after the PSLE examinations and before the release of PSLE results.👉 The aim is to help Primary 6 students and parents explore schools early, understand school culture, subject offerings, CCAs, and special programmes before making secondary school choices.

• January (limited)

  Some schools may run smaller-scale sessions or briefings after PSLE results are released, but these are less common and often more informational than experiential.

• April–May (occasional)

  A few schools may hold additional engagement events, but these are not the main open house window and are usually programme-specific.

Why Are Secondary School Open Houses Important?

Secondary school open houses give families the opportunity to look beyond brochures and websites. During these events, parents and students can:

• Experience the school environment and culture first-hand

• Learn about academic programmes, subject offerings, and special tracks

• Understand the school’s co-curricular activities (CCAs) and enrichment opportunities

• Interact with teachers, students, and school leaders

• Ask practical questions about teaching approaches, student support, and school values

These insights can be invaluable when deciding which schools best suit your child’s strengths and interests.

What Should Parents Look Out For at an Open House?

When attending a secondary school open house, it helps to go in with clear priorities. Beyond facilities and results, parents may want to consider:

• Teaching philosophy: How does the school support different learning needs?

• Academic balance: Is there a strong focus on both rigour and well-being?

• Student development: How are confidence, character, and leadership nurtured?

• English and literacy focus: How does the school support language skills, critical thinking, and communication?

Encouraging your child to reflect on how they feel during the visit is equally important. A school that feels motivating and supportive can make a significant difference to their secondary school journey.
