Temasek JC IP: 2025 Enriched Curriculum & DSA Talent Grid

Q: What does the Temasek JC IP guide cover?
A: Key insights from TJC’s official Integrated Programme and DSA pages—how the enriched curriculum blends subjects, how Temasek Academy/Cohort Programmes stretch talent, and what the 2025 DSA-Sec cycle entails.

TL;DR
• Every IP student receives an enriched curriculum that mixes integrated subjects (Language Arts, Fundamental Humanities, Green Science) with unique modules like Skills & Knowledge and Aesthetics to produce interdisciplinary, empathetic problem-solvers (Enriched Curriculum overview).
• Talent development is built on the Renzulli Schoolwide Enrichment Model: Temasek Academy (five disciplinary strands) offers Type II/III enrichment and close mentorship, while Cohort Programmes deliver Type I/II experiences in authentic settings (Enriched Curriculum overview).
• The 2025 DSA-Sec window runs 7 May – 3 June 2025 (11 a.m.–3 p.m.), with categories spanning Academic (Chinese, English, Math, Science), Music Elective Programme, Performing Arts – Concert Band, Sports (e.g., Bowling, Netball), and Leadership; shortlisting involves written tests, auditions/trials, and interviews between 9 July and 7 Aug 2025 (DSA-Sec page).
• Successful DSA entrants commit to the six-year IP and must stay active in the talent area through Years 1–4 (same source).

Quick facts for families

• TJC keeps the IP simple: four years on the Bedok campus, then progression to the junior college wing for Years 5 and 6.
• Integrated subjects like Language Arts and Green Science help students see links between topics instead of studying each in isolation (Enriched Curriculum overview).
• Temasek Academy strands use the Renzulli enrichment model, so high-ability learners receive close mentorship without leaving their cohort (same source).
• DSA 2025 runs from 7 May to 3 June, with auditions and tests in July and August—note the dates early to avoid clashes (DSA-Sec page).
