Raffles Institution Year 5–6 IP: 2025 Subject Grid & DSA-JC

Q: What does the RI Year 5–6 IP guide cover?
A: Key points from RI’s official pages for JC subjects, enrichment, and admissions—what you can study, how the enrichment matrix is organised, and what RI’s current Year 5 DSA page says about the next DSA-JC exercise.

TL;DR
• RI lists its JC subjects under Knowledge Skills (GP, Knowledge & Inquiry, Project Work), Mathematics/Computing, Sciences, Humanities, Aesthetics, Mother Tongue, PE, and Foreign Languages—signposting the breadth offered within each stream (Year 5–6 curriculum).<br /> • Enrichment options span community leadership, cross-cultural programmes (Regional Studies, Raffles Asia/Bicultural/Global Studies), Raffles Science Institute, Raffles Humanities Programme, and sport/health initiatives—giving every student a pathway to deepen interest (Year 5–6 enrichment).<br /> • Character development continues under the Raffles Leadership Institute (Year 5–6) so JC cohorts train alongside IP peers before graduation (Year 5–6 curriculum).<br /> • RI’s current Year 5 DSA page says the 2025 DSA-JC exercise has ended and that information about the next DSA-JC exercise will be published by early May 2026. The same page reminds applicants that DSA offers replace the JAE route, require full commitment to talent activities, and bar transfers after O-Level results (Year 5 DSA page).

1 | Academic scaffolding

• Knowledge Skills anchor every subject combination—students take General Paper, and may opt into Knowledge & Inquiry or English Language & Linguistics alongside Project Work (Year 5–6 curriculum).
• If you’re shortlisting subject combinations as a family, RI’s Year 5–6 page is the best official “hub” to start from because it groups subjects by cluster (Math/Computing, Sciences, Humanities, etc.) before you dive into subject-level details (same source).
