How to tackle IP's unique challenges?
You will need much self-discipline and time management skills to juggle both the core academic syllabus and your extra-curricular activities.Your academic results may suffer if you do not strike a harmonious balance between these two areas.
What the IP experience is like
"Students interested in IP must be independent learners, have good time management skills and must be selective about what they want from the IP for themselves."
- Renu, Year 6 IP student
"I decided to opt for the Integrated Programme as I wanted to try out an entirely new education system. The academic syllabus is something different and I get to attend a variety of new and interesting modules in school. We get to learn more independently as well as in teams to complete the project tasks assigned. I believe that with the unique system in place, IP students would become more competent in pursuing leadership roles in life."
- Year 4 IP student
