The integrated programme is a 6-year course leading to the GCE A-Level examination or International Baccalaureate Diploma or NUS High School Diploma. Students in the Integrated Programme do not need to take the GCE O-Level examination in Secondary 4.

- The IP is a six-year programme. Each IP school’s programme is unique and builds on its distinct strengths, culture and ethos, and transfers are strongly discouraged as they disrupt the quality of students’ educational experience. In particular, transfers to other IP schools are not allowed, unless under exceptional circumstances. Students are expected to fulfil their commitment to their IP school for the full duration.
- Students on the O-Level track who perform well can apply to transfer to the IP at Secondary 3.
