Integrated Programme (IP)

[wonderm]

My son’s teacher arranged extra online lessons over weekend to make sure the students have good understanding of the concepts. The classmates are also more than willing to help each other. So don’t worry.

hi all, this is my first post!


wanna find out how different is the integrated programme different from the O level track in terms for content. especially in Math and Science. some mentioned that they go into the JC syllabus? is that true?

I assume all of the students take pure sciences? is triple science a compulsory? and do they have A maths? or is it already integrated into the math syllabus for them?

Lots of questions. Thanks in advance

IP is very different from O Level as they tend to teach faster and have more project work. It is quite possible for Sec 3 or Sec 4 IP students to go into JC syllabus. The details vary from school to school. Most IP schools have some kind of streaming or opportunities for subject selections at Sec 3. Again the options available vary from school to school. In HCI, Biology is an optional subject from Sec 3. I am not sure about other IP schools.

As wonderm said, different schools have different programmes. In some cases, yes, they do go into JC syllabus. I think most IP schools do pure Science. In Year 3 you get to choose your subject combi so you can choose to do more Humanities or Science subjects.

Hi there,

Anyone knows of any IP school that gives a choice to students to opt for MT instead of HMT (Higher Chinese) ? I believe my son will struggle in Higher Chinese as he takes normal Chinese.

Any feedback on how hard is HMT in IP ? My son’s Chinese grade is average. Any feedback would be great to determine his education path.

Thank you.

I believe you can choose to do MT in RI and ACSI.

No......no option....all of them need to do HMT

Thanks Augmum for the info !


Anyone know if it is difficult to transit from pri school MT to HMT (Chinese) in IP ? If my DS now gets , say around marks 60 to 69 range in pri school for MT Chinese, would it pose a challenge for him to handle HMT in an IP school ?

Also, does IP school beef up those students who does MT (Chinese) in pri school, by giving them extra coaching to catch with their peers who originally has been doing HMT (Higher Chinese) ?

Thanks in advance.
