Q: What does Nanyang Girls' High School (NYGH) IP Curriculum: Guide for Math & Physics-Minded Students cover?
A: A one-stop overview of NYGH’s IP structure, official Maths/Science pathways, and key STEM talent-development routes.
TL;DR
NYGH’s official IP curriculum overview describes a six-year Integrated Programme, with Years 1–4 at NYGH and Years 5–6 at Hwa Chong Institution.
NYGH also states it adopted Dr Lynn Erickson’s concept-based approach in 2016, and introduced the Fusion curriculum to Secondary One in 2024.
For STEM-focused students, NYGH’s Science and Mathematics Talent Programme (SMTP) is a two-year Sec 3–4 programme, and students are strongly encouraged to continue SMTP offered by HCI.
Confirm subject-combination, assessment, and selection details via the latest school handbook/circulars (they can change year to year).
1 | Big-Picture Snapshot
- 6-year arc (published): Years 1–4 at NYGH, Years 5–6 at Hwa Chong Institution (HCI) (IP curriculum overview).
- What “IP” means (MOE): Integrated Programme students bypass the O-Levels and proceed to a pre-university qualification at the partner school (MOE IP overview).
- Concept-based approach (published): NYGH states it adopted Dr Lynn Erickson’s concept-based approach in teaching and learning since 2016 (see the IP curriculum overview).
- Fusion curriculum (published): NYGH introduced Fusion to the Secondary One cohort in 2024, describing it as an integrated curriculum that includes Design Thinking and Maker Education (see the IP curriculum overview).
2 | Maths & Science runway (official pointers)
NYGH publishes programme-level descriptions (instead of a public year-by-year syllabus map):
- Mathematics pathways: Integrated Mathematics in lower secondary; upper secondary options include Integrated Mathematics 2 and Advanced Mathematics (Mathematics programme).
- Science coherence: The Science curriculum is organised around Core Concepts, and NYGH describes science enrichment including exhibitions, talks, competitions, and an annual Science and Maths Festival (Science programme).
For the exact topic sequence by year and the current assessment structure, refer to the school’s student handbook/circulars.
