Primary One registration and distance
Priority in the Primary One registration exercise depends on the home-to-school distance as computed by the Ministry of Education, using its own address points. The fact-sheet figures are a guide; families planning around a particular school should check the distance for 2, 4 or 6 Mount Emily Road with MOE before relying on it.

What the cluster means for Duet @ Emily homes
For families, primary schools within walking distance. For students and faculty of the colleges, a one- or two-bedroom home minutes from class. The compact Duet @ Emily layouts from 409 square feet suit both.
The school run from Mount Emily Road
From 2, 4 & 6 Mount Emily Road, the schools on the list are a short walk or a short drive. The streets on the hill are quiet residential roads, and the main roads at the foot of the hill — Selegie Road and Rochor Canal Road — carry the buses and the MRT stations that older students use. For many families, the practical advantage is that a single address serves the primary years, the secondary years for students at the School of the Arts, and the tertiary years at the colleges and university nearby.
Arts education around Duet @ Emily
The concentration of arts education around Mount Emily is unusual anywhere in the world. The School of the Arts offers a six-year programme for secondary and pre-tertiary students, LASALLE College of the Arts and the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts teach diploma and degree courses in the visual and performing arts, and the museums of Bras Basah and Bugis are a few minutes away. A household with a young artist, musician or designer will find few better-placed addresses.
Universities and professional study
Singapore Management University, a short distance away in the Bras Basah area, and Kaplan City Campus at Wilkie Edge bring university and professional study within reach. For postgraduate students and faculty, a compact one-bedroom home at Duet @ Emily could serve as a base close to campus; the floor plans show the layouts from 409 square feet.
Pre-schools and enrichment
Beyond the schools on the developer’s list, the Mount Emily and Selegie area is well served by enrichment centres and music, art and language schools, many of them drawn by the arts colleges nearby. Families can confirm current pre-school options through the relevant government portals, and the Sales Concierge can point out what is within walking distance on a viewing.
Checking school options for a specific home
Families considering a particular unit can check the distance from 2, 4 or 6 Mount Emily Road to each school on the Ministry of Education’s SchoolFinder and on OneMap. Because all 20 homes share three adjacent street addresses, the distances for different units in the development are close to one another, though the exact figure depends on the address point used.
