Choosing a primary school in Singapore is mostly a question of distance. The Primary 1 registration framework gives priority by home-to-school distance, so for most families the practical shortlist is the set of schools within reach of where they live — and the schools in Geylang, Katong & East Coast are the ones parents in this part of Singapore weigh against each other.
