School MattersSchool Distance Calculator Singapore: 1km & 2km
Find schools near a Singapore postal code. Compare estimated 1km and 2km distances, check daily travel options and confirm official P1 distance categories with MOE.
Finding schools near home
How do I find schools within 1km or 2km of home?
Enter a six-digit Singapore postal code, select a school level, then calculate distances. This tool estimates straight-line distances between home and school coordinates to help build a shortlist. Confirm the official P1 home-school distance category with MOE SchoolFinder.
How should I read the distance bands?
For example, an estimated 0.8km is shown within 1km; 1.4km is shown in the 1–2km band. These estimates, especially near a 1km or 2km boundary, do not replace MOE's official category.
Does living within 1km guarantee a P1 place?
No. Registration phase, eligibility, vacancies and balloting also matter. Some schools use a new Phase 2C two-track arrangement from the 2027 registration exercise. Check the rules for the specific school and exercise year.
Is straight-line distance the daily school journey?
No. Walking routes, crossings, public transport and traffic can make the journey longer. Shortlist by distance, then check travel options and plan an open-house visit. Secondary schools and JCs do not automatically give admission priority for living within 1km.
