How many IP schools are there in Singapore?

If you count Year 1 entry campuses in MOE’s Integrated Programme directory, this guide tracks 17 campuses (checked 1 Oct 2025). If you include partner JC campuses for Years 5–6 in split-campus pathways, the total number of listed campuses is higher.

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 schools place greater emphasis on Chinese language and culture. Exact language offerings and expectations vary by school and cohort—check the school’s official curriculum notes and ask about support for students new to Higher Chinese.

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.

Are all IP schools using the same syllabus sequence?

No. MOE defines the IP pathway at a high level, but schools differ in pacing, emphasis, and internal assessment design. Use this page for school list intent, then verify curriculum details on each school's official site and handbook before deciding. ---
