Catholic High Joint IP: 2025 World Readiness & STEM Stretch

Q: What does the Catholic High Joint IP guide cover?
A: Highlights from Catholic High School’s official Joint Integrated Programme pages—how the four partner schools groom “Principled Leaders of Tomorrow”, what the World Readiness and Passion Pursuit pillars involve, and the maths and science enrichment tracks that prepare boys for Eunoia JC’s A-Level curriculum.

TL;DR
• Catholic High runs the Joint Integrated Programme (JIP) with CHIJ St Nicholas Girls’, Singapore Chinese Girls’ School and Eunoia Junior College, with Year 1–4 at Bishan and Years 5–6 at EJC; the route is anchored on character, cognitive and leadership development to produce “Principled Leaders of Tomorrow” (JIP overview).
• Two signature pillars power the Catholic High experience before pupils head to Eunoia JC: the World Readiness Programme (Philosophy of Knowledge, Emerging Asia and Current Affairs modules plus Model UN-style immersions) and Passion Pursuit — a Diverge/Converge/Emerge pathway supported by alumni and industry partners such as A*STAR and DSTA — (World Readiness Programme; Passion Pursuit).
• STEM learning is framed around the Science department’s I²E (Inspire, Inquire, Enrich) approach with ICT tools such as dataloggers and the Student Learning Space, alongside a Mathematics ethos that emphasises confidence, creativity and real-life problem solving (Science department; Mathematics department).
