How many IP schools are there in Singapore?

Accepted Answer

Around 14 secondary schools offer the Integrated Programme as of 2026.

Question 2

What's the difference between IP and through-train?

Through-train usually means primary-to-secondary affiliation guaranteeing a place; IP is a 6-year secondary-to-A-Level pathway that bypasses O-Levels. Some schools offer both.

Question 3

Is IP harder than O-Level track?

Accepted Answer

Different, not harder per se. IP schools tend to attract academically strong students, so the ambient pace is fast. But the curriculum has more breadth and less exam-cramming than the O-Level track.
