Phase-by-Phase Strategy
Sibling
Sibling enrolled at Maha Bodhi = guaranteed Phase 1 admission.
Alumni
Maha Bodhi has a dedicated alumni community with strong Buddhist values. Former students can register under Phase 2A.
Buddhist Federation
As a Buddhist-affiliated school, Maha Bodhi's unique Phase 2B advantage is the Singapore Buddhist Federation endorsement. Active members of Buddhist organizations affiliated with the Federation may receive Phase 2B priority. This is a unique path not available at most other top schools. PV slots are extremely limited.
PV / Grassroots Info
Open
Maha Bodhi experiences heavy balloting in Phase 2C every year. <1km is essential for a realistic chance. The Ubi/Eunos HDB estates provide accessible housing options.
Phase 2B — Step-by-Step Guide
Phase 2B at Maha Bodhi School is via Parent Volunteer (PV) or Grassroots Leader. As a non-affiliated school, these are the only two Phase 2B paths. Competition is high as PV slots are limited.
Parent Volunteer (PV)High competition
- Contact Maha Bodhi School parent support group 2 years before P1 registration
- Submit PV application in January. Slots fill within days
- Complete minimum 40 volunteer hours over 2 years
- Receive Phase 2B eligibility letter from school in June of registration year
Timeline: Start: K1 year (Jan). PV application: Jan-Feb. Complete 40hrs by: Apr of P1 registration year
Grassroots LeaderMedium competition
- Join your local Residents' Committee (RC) or Neighbourhood Committee (NC) 2+ years before P1 year
- Serve actively as an executive member. Attend monthly meetings
- Obtain endorsement letter from People's Association (PA) for Phase 2B
Timeline: Start: By K1 year. Endorsement cutoff: ~Jun of year before registration
Key Dates
- • PV applications open: January (2 years before P1 year)
- • PV hours deadline: April of P1 registration year
- • Grassroots endorsement cutoff: June of preceding year
Housing
Why <1km matters here: inside 1km gives the top home-school distance priority in Phase 2C.
Maha Bodhi is in the Ubi/Eunos area. This is one of the more affordable top school catchments. HDB flats in Ubi and Eunos provide cost-effective entry. The area is well-served by Eunos MRT (East-West Line).

Prices are medians of URA caveats — resale and sub-sale only, new launches excluded. "2BR"/"3BR" are floor areas (500–800 / 800–1,200 sq ft), not bedroom counts. Condo rents are URA's median rent per square foot per month (psf/mo) — a rate, not a monthly total. URA publishes no landed rents, so those cells stay blank. "—" means URA has no figure for that project: too few recent sales in that size band, or none at all.
Condo prices are medians of URA caveats — resale and sub-sale only, new launches excluded (window Sep 2024 – Sep 2026); condo rents are URA's median rent per square foot per month (2026 Q2). "—" means no figure is published for that row: too few records to quote one, or none at all. HDB figures in the within-1km tables are medians of data.gov.sg HDB resale registrations over the last 24 months and HDB's published median rent by town and flat type.

Affiliation Advantage
Maha Bodhi is affiliated with the Singapore Buddhist Federation. This is a unique affiliation that provides Phase 2B endorsement through Buddhist organizations. No other top school shares this specific Phase 2B path, making it less crowded than SHHK or Catholic church endorsements.
Unique Buddhist Federation Phase 2B path — potentially less competition than SHHK or Catholic routes.
