Integrated Programme
The Integrated Programme (IP) is a scheme that allows high-performing students in secondary schools in Singapore to skip the GCE Ordinary Level (O-Level) examination. Without the O-level examinations, students have greater flexibility and can immerse themselves in a more broad-based education. The Integrated Programme was first implemented in Dunman High School, Hwa Chong Institution (formerly The Chinese High School), Nanyang Girls' High School,. Raffles Girls School, Raffles Institution, and River Valley High School in 2004. Since 2012, Victoria School and Cedar Girls' Secondary School are offering the IP with Victoria Junior College which will build upon the four-year Victoria Integrated Programme in the junior college. The Joint Integrated Programme, commonly referred to as the JIP, offered by Catholic High School and CHIJ Saint Nicholas Girls' School, along with Eunoia Junior College, was established in January 2013. NUS High School of Mathematics and Science is the only school in Singapore which specialises in mathematics and science. It aims to develop all its students through its Di-rounded programme.
