A: A fact-checked overview of how HCI's six-year IP is structured and how its math and physics spine connects to the A-Level syllabi.
TL;DR HCI runs a six-year Integrated Programme (IP) with a High School Section (Years 1–4) and College Section (Years 5–6) that culminates in the GCE A-Level. The school’s own integrated math-and-science framework spans all six years, and Sec 1–4 students go on one-week Sabbaticals in Terms 1 and 2 (official HCI programme).
Status: HCI Integrated Programme overview last checked 2025-11-30 (Sabbaticals: one week each in Terms 1 and 2 for Sec 1–4). SEAB syllabi last modified 2025-11-28: H2 Mathematics 9758 and H2 Physics 9478 (first examined 2026).
