Temasek Junior College publishes current pages for its IP curriculum and DSA-Sec exercise, plus a dated JC1 subject-combination document. These sources answer different questions and should not be merged into one timeless programme promise.

Q: What should a family check about the TJC IP?
A: Check the current Year 1 to 4 curriculum, the exact DSA talent criteria and dates, and the JC1 subject document for the cohort that will enter Years 5 and 6.

Last reviewed: 18 July 2026 against TJC's current IP and DSA pages and its 2026 JC1 subject-combination PDF.

Current IP curriculum

TJC describes an enriched curriculum with integrated subjects such as Language Arts, Fundamental Humanities, and Green Science. It also lists specially designed subjects including Skills and Knowledge and Aesthetics.

The public page provides a year-by-year curriculum table. Families should use that table rather than assume that a subject appears in every IP year.

TJC's Temasek Academy has five strands:

  • Language Arts;
  • Chinese Language;
  • Mathematics;
  • Science; and
  • Humanities.

The page shows that the strands operate in different years. It describes Temasek Academy as an invitation for students who display strong aptitude and talent, not a guaranteed option for every student. TJC separately describes cohort programmes for broader participation.

2026 DSA-Sec for 2027 entry

TJC's current DSA-Sec page is for Primary 6 applicants seeking IP Year 1 entry in 2027.
