[quote=\"Cheerfuldad\"]hi,


the IB for SJI only start in year 2013!

according to the SJI website, they hope to start the IB in 2012

http://sji.edu.sg/subpage.php?id=292

seems SJI is informing some primary schools that they will be soft-launching the Josephian IP curriculum for students with PSLE T-scores of at least 250 and above in 2012 and are expecting a MOE announcement providing additional information on the Josephian IP soon ...

Hi,

Did you notice the letter is dated Sept 2010. MOE announced it this year 2011 that SJI will implement their IB on 2013.

Cheers![/quote]MOE announcement on the new IP schools is on 1 Sep 2010

Hi emoh,


I extract the write-up from SJI’s web.

About SJI

SJI is a Catholic secondary school for boys founded in 1852 by the Brothers of the Christian Schools or the La Salle Brothers. It is the 3rd oldest secondary school in Singapore after Raffles Institution, which was founded in 1823 and St. Margaret’s Secondary School, which was founded in 1842.

SJI currently offers a 4-year programme that prepares boys for the GCE ‘O’ level examinations. From 2013, we will be offering both an Integrated Programme (IP) track and an O-levels track. The IP track will lead to the International Baccalaureate Diploma instead of the GCE ‘A’ levels. We focus on nurturing our boys to learn how to learn and to learn how to live so that they can be empowered to grow into men of integrity and men for others. We operate based on the values of Faith as our foundation, Service as our way and Community as our support.

Actually, most non-Christians can't really tell the diff.

In case some non Christian/Catholic family has preference
