Secondary Schools with Chess in Singapore (17), by Cut-off
17 secondary schools in Singapore offer Chess as a CCA. They are grouped below by their 2025 PG3 non-affiliated cut-off point: find the band around your child's score, then look at school type and area.
A cut-off is the score of the last student admitted, so a smaller number is harder to get in. At exactly the cut-off, ties go to citizenship and choice order, so PRs and international students should leave a margin.

- Students with a talent in this area can look at Direct School Admission (DSA), which some schools use to admit students for this CCA outside the cut-off.
- Each school page lists its full CCAs, subjects and transport.
