Do IP students automatically progress to the JC years?

A-Level IP routes promote students who meet the school’s criteria directly into Years 5–6. In the four 6‑year schools, this is within the same institution; in partnered models (e.g., NYGH/HCI Sec → HCI JC or RGS/RI Sec → RI JC) there is a formal administrative transfer but not the public JAE posting. Always check each school’s promotion policy.

Will classes and rooms change in Year 5?

Yes. Subject combinations (H2/H1 mixes), research blocks and timetables change, so cohorts are reshuffled and rooms rotate. The difference is administrative (single 6‑year school vs. a partner JC), not that Year 5 timetables stand still.

Can my child leave the IP to take O-Levels instead?

Possible but not guaranteed. Some students transfer to the O‑Level track by Sec 2/3 subject to vacancies and school policies. Discuss timelines and fit with the current school early.

Can we switch from an A-Level IP to the IB Diploma after Year 4?

Rare and highly competitive. Treat ACS(I)/SJI IB admissions as fresh applications with limited mid‑stream places. Confirm directly with the destination school.

What about fees and means‑tested support?

Independent/Government‑aided IP schools have different fee schedules. See MOE’s official pages for current rates and assistance: School fees: https://www.moe.gov.sg/financial-matters/fees Financial assistance: https://www.moe.gov.sg/financial-matters/financial-assistance

Do SAP IP schools require stronger Chinese language commitment?

SAP environments (e.g., DHS, RVHS, HCI/NYGH) place greater emphasis on Chinese language and culture; Higher Chinese and related literature are commonly offered. Ensure your child is comfortable with the expectations and support available.

Are there boarding options in JC years?

Some schools provide boarding for enrichment or commute reasons; availability and costs vary. Check the school’s site for details before budgeting.

When are Open Houses and campus tours?

Schools announce Open House dates on their official admissions/news pages. Check each school’s site and use MOE’s SchoolFinder to locate the correct links and contacts: https://www.moe.gov.sg/schoolfinder When you visit, simulate a typical school-day commute: go during a weekday morning or afternoon peak and take the public transport you plan to use daily rather than taxis/Grab. This gives a realistic door-to-door time and transfer feel. ---

A: 2025 guide to every Integrated Programme pathway—A-Level, IB Diploma, and NUS High Diploma—with direct links to the official MOE directory and school overviews.

TL;DR
MOE’s Integrated Programme directory (retrieved 1 Oct 2025) lists 17 secondary or junior-college campuses offering a through-train, six-year Integrated Programme that lets students skip O-Levels and head straight to the A-Levels, IB Diploma or NUS High Diploma.

1 | Why the IP matters for STEM-inclined students

MOE describes the IP as a six-year route that bypasses the Singapore-Cambridge Secondary Education Certificate (SEC) and leads straight to the GCE A-Level, IB Diploma, or NUS High Diploma, giving schools freedom to pace pre-university content earlier (MOE Integrated Programme overview).
The additional runway supports structured enrichment before high-stakes exams—examples include Eunoia Junior College’s STEM Research Programmes and Dunman High’s Science Programme, which pair mentorships with research-based stretch goals.
