English is used as the language of instruction. Students also study an extra language which is the language of the mother tongue for races of Chinese, Malay and Indian. International students are also encourage to pick up a second language of their choice as well.

The normal primary school going age is from Primary 1 to Primary 6. At the end of Primary 6, the national school exam is held. This is commonly known as the Primary School Leaving Examination which prepares the children for secondary school admittance, based on the school results.
