Integrated Programme (IP)

The difference betwn sji & chs is that sji is an independent school, so it can run it's own programmes...shd b similar to acsi. CHS is not independent, so most probably won't be given the flexibility to run 2-track programmes by MOE. Hence CHS school fees v cheap compared to SJI's S$290.

So, when SJI IP program is approved, the fees is gonna be those like $290 range or gonna be those that makes you :siam: one ? :?

FYI, I read somewhere sometime back that MOE will stop awarding IP status to more schools. So unlikely that SJI will gain IP status. Refering to St Joseph Institution, here, not the international school. The international schools should be doing IB programs.

SJI is already S$290 bc it is an independent school (not international, hor - international is SJI(Int'l).

Anyone ?

You mean from SJI(International)'s programme? bc SJI does not have 6yr programme.

The 1st batch just completed IB last year...results was just out recently. You can search the newspaper & press releases. Maybe SJI(International) website would have.

ACS(I) did better than SJI international in the IB exams.

Raffles Programme

Raffles Junior College offers the Integrated Programme, also known as the Raffles Programme (RP), together with .< Under the RP, students will experience a seamless curriculum from Sec 1 all the way to JC2, spending their first four years in either Raffles Girls' School (Secondary) or Raffles Institution, and their fifth and sixth year in Raffles Junior College. RP will culminate in the new and revised Singapore Cambridge General Certificate in Education 'Advanced' Level examinations (GCE 'A' Level) at the end of the sixth year.
The Raffles Programme (RP) [7] is designed to provide students with depth and breadth of discovery, as well as ensure rigour in learning. It was implemented in Raffles Girls' School (Secondary) and Raffles Institution in 2004, and in Raffles Junior College in 2006.

Under the RP, students experience a seamless curriculum from Sec 1 all the way to JC2, spending their first four years in either Raffles Girls' School (Secondary) or Raffles Institution, and their fifth and sixth year in Raffles Junior College. RP culminates in the new and revised Singapore Cambridge General Certificate in Education 'Advanced' Level examinations (GCE 'A' Level) at the end of the sixth year.
With the time freed up from not having to prepare for, and sit, the 'O' Level examinations, students are in a better position to develop their capacity and potential for creative, analytical and innovative thinking as well as leadership, service and character development. There are also more opportunities for mentorship, research studies and industrial attachment with institutes of higher learning or industry partners.
The first batch of Raffles Programme students received their A Level results on 7 Mar 2008. They have done exceedingly well. [8]

QUESTION:
If the IP (in this case RP) started in 2004, how can they receive their A level results in 2008 ?

This is referring to 4 year IP program ?
