School Fees & Subsidy

School fees for Singapore Citizens: $150/month

  • For parents who had earlier made payment of $250 in commitment fee, it will be used to cover January 2023 and part of December 2023 school fees. Please make payment for the remainder of December 2022 school fees of $50 on Registration Day.
  • For those who intend to apply for a subsidy, please make a payment of $50 first during registration. Payment of final school fees can be made after the approval of the subsidy.

GIRO payment is the school’s preferred mode of school fees collection. As the bank takes about two months to process GIRO applications, cash/cheque payments for school fees have to be made at Pathlight’s General Office in the meantime until we inform you when your GIRO application is approved. Kindly contact Pathlight’s Finance Department at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. if you have any queries pertaining to GIRO payment of school fees.

If you are applying for school fees subsidy and/or Special Education Financial Assistance Scheme (SPED FAS), please contact Ms G.D Florence, Student Affairs Senior Executive at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or 6592 0443 for the application forms. Please submit the completed respective application subsidy forms with supporting documents on Registration Day if you have not done so. Any delay in submission or incomplete documentation may result in your child not being able to enjoy the school fees subsidy for the first month.

For those who have submitted your subsidy form, we will be contacting you within the next 2 months to arrange a home visit. The outcome of the application will be known by 13 January 2023


Passport Size Photos

We will be engaging an external vendor to take passport size photos of your child during the new school term. This is chargeable at $5 and parents are to make payment for this during registration. This is compulsory as these photographs are required for School Smart Card and Developmental Disability Registry (DDR) application.  


School Smart Card

School will assist to apply for the Primary School Smart Card for your child if he/she does not have one.
