 As of 2010 , Pathlight School had an enrolment of over 500 students , of whom about 40 % had their school fees of S $ 500 subsidised . The school caters to autistic Singaporeans aged six to 18 , who are able to access the mainstream curriculum because they are high @-@ functioning , but would have difficulty learning in a mainstream school . Most students take mainstream national examinations , such as the PSLE and O Levels , with results comparable to students from mainstream schools , and some enter mainstream tertiary institutions . About 10 % of students take a vocational track and may transfer to Eden School , which caters to lower @-@ functioning autistic children and focuses on vocational training . Students from Pathlight School have participated in — and won — national competitions such as the National Youth Business Challenge 2010 .
