Q: What does the CHIJ St Nicholas Joint IP guide cover?
A: Key facts from the school’s official history and 2025 DSA-Sec circular—how the Joint Integrated Programme with Eunoia Junior College is structured, which talent domains are prioritised, and the bilingual pathways that make St Nicks’ six-year run distinctive.
TL;DR
• St Nicks has run a Joint Integrated Programme with Catholic High, Singapore Chinese Girls’ School, and Eunoia JC since 2013, sending Year 5–6 students straight to the A-Levels without sitting for O-Levels (school history milestones).
• The 2025 DSA-Sec intake offers Sports & Games and Leadership for both the four-year SP track and the six-year JIP, plus Bilingualism and STEM for JIP-only (2025 DSA spotlight, updated 25 Apr 2025).
• Bilingualism applicants are groomed through SAP immersion (translation programme, author-in-residence, overseas exchanges) to become bicultural talents—an anchor differentiator for the St Nicks–Eunoia route (same source).
• Apply through MOE’s DSA-Sec portal when the national window opens and monitor MOE’s Secondary 1 Posting release in December before the Year 5 transition to Eunoia JC (MOE DSA-Sec, Secondary 1 Posting).
