Which schools are within 1 km and 2 km of Amberwood at Holland?

Published 7 October 2026 · Insights & News

The nearest primary school to Amberwood at Holland is Methodist Girls' School (Primary) at 11 Blackmore Drive, which the developer places within 1 km of the development based on OneMap. Henry Park Primary School and Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary School both sit within the 1–2 km band, and a broad belt of established primary, secondary, pre-university and international schools spreads across District 10 and the Bukit Timah corridor.

This post sets out the schools by distance band, explains how Primary 1 priority is applied, and introduces the wider education belt around Holland Link. For a deeper look at each school cluster, the Holland and Bukit Timah school belt guide covers the neighbourhood in more detail.

Primary Schools Within 1 km of Amberwood at Holland

Methodist Girls' School (Primary), at 11 Blackmore Drive, is the school the developer identifies as lying within 1 km of Amberwood at Holland, based on OneMap. For families with daughters approaching Primary 1, it is the closest primary school to 30 Holland Link, set among the quiet residential streets of District 10.

The 1 km band is significant because it is the first distance tier used in the Ministry of Education's Primary 1 registration exercise. Singapore Citizens living within this band are given priority ahead of those living further away.

Distance bands as stated by the developer, based on OneMap. Actual home-school distance and eligibility are determined by MOE/SLA at registration.

Schools Within 1–2 km of Amberwood at Holland

Two established primary schools fall within the 1–2 km band of Amberwood at Holland, according to the developer. Henry Park Primary School is at 1 Holland Grove Road, and Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary School is at 7 Pei Wah Avenue.

The 1–2 km band is the second distance tier in Primary 1 registration. Together with Methodist Girls' School (Primary) in the nearer band, these schools give families at Amberwood at Holland several primary options within the two distance tiers that MOE uses. Since the development is spread across 11 residential blocks along Holland Link, from Block 30 to Block 52, the exact distance for any particular home is the one measured for its own address at registration.

How Primary 1 Priority Works for Amberwood at Holland Residents

MOE's Primary 1 registration gives priority to Singapore Citizens living within 1 km of a school, then to those living within 1–2 km. Actual home-school distance and eligibility are determined by MOE and SLA at registration, and a place is not guaranteed when balloting applies. The distance bands quoted for Amberwood at Holland are therefore a planning guide, and the official measurement for the registered address is the one that counts.

A few practical points help families plan with confidence:

• Citizenship and residency: distance priority is applied according to the child's citizenship status, so families should confirm their own category with MOE when the registration exercise opens. The post on who can buy at Amberwood at Holland covers the purchase side for citizens, permanent residents and foreigners.
• Timing: expected TOP is the 2nd quarter of 2029 (subject to authority approval), with expected vacant possession on 30 June 2030. Families can map these dates against their children's school years when choosing a layout.
• Specific addresses: each of the 11 blocks carries its own postal code, listed on the Amberwood at Holland project details page, and the official MOE/SLA measurement for that address is the reference at registration.
