St Joseph's Institution IP: 2026 IB and Admissions Guide

SJI's six-year Integrated Programme leads to the IB Diploma. Years 1 to 4 are all-boys, while its two-year JC section is co-educational and also admits students through current JC routes.

Q: What should a family verify about the SJI IP?
A: Identify the entry point, use the current admissions page for that route, and distinguish SJI's IB Diploma from an A-Level programme. Fees and assistance should be checked on the current SJI page.

Last reviewed: 18 July 2026 against SJI's current IP, 2026 admissions, and fee pages.

Curriculum and qualification

SJI describes its IP with a Core, Apply, and Integrate framework leading to the IB Diploma. The school also publishes a three-level learning structure and current programme details.

The former guide's broad claims about learner archetypes and outcomes went beyond what families need for route selection. The current page establishes the curriculum design, not a guaranteed student profile or university result.

SJI's JC education leads to the IB Diploma, not the GCE A-Level examination.

Entry routes

SJI publishes separate current pages for:

• Secondary 1 admission and DSA-Sec;
• Secondary 3 IP admission;
• DSA-JC for JC1; and
• admission to the JC through current O-Level and returning-Singaporean routes.

These are not interchangeable.

For 2027 Secondary 3 IP entry, SJI's application opens on 15 July and closes on 13 August 2026 at noon. It is open to boys in Secondary 2 in 2026 who are in the SEC Programme. Non-SJI students admitted to their current school through DSA or AEIS are not considered. The compulsory General Ability Test is scheduled for 3 September 2026 and shortlisted interviews for 6 or 9 October, depending on applicant group.

For 2027 JC1 DSA, SJI welcomes current Secondary 4 boys and girls. Applications run from 6 May to 29 June 2026 at noon. A successful DSA-JC allocation excludes JAE and transfer after O-Level results and carries a talent commitment for the programme duration.

Historical cut-off boundary

SJI's Secondary 1 page records the 2026 IP posting cut-off as AL 7. This is a historical outcome for that intake. It does not predict the next exercise.

Fees and assistance

SJI's 2026 fees are published in an image table on its live page and are subject to change. The page says fees are annual amounts spread over 12 months and new admissions use GIRO.

Eligible Singapore Citizens can apply for the MOE Independent School Bursary. The page publishes current income bands and benefits. Use the live table rather than copying an amount that cannot be reliably extracted from the public text.
