Integrated Programme (IP) Schools in Singapore: All 16 Schools and Their Cut-off Points
The Integrated Programme (IP) is a six-year route from Secondary 1 to Year 6. Students skip the Secondary 4 national exam (SEC, formerly the O-Level) and sit the A-Level or International Baccalaureate instead. Here are the 16 schools that offer it.
The 16 IP schools
Sorted by 2025 IP cut-off point, strictest first. The three numbers are 2025 / 2024 / 2023; "—" means no data that year.

How to read it:
- Ranges: in "4-6", the left number is the best score admitted and the right number is the last student admitted: the right number is the cut-off point.
- (D), (M): only at SAP schools. It is the Higher Chinese grade of the last students admitted (Distinction, Merit).
- "IP only": the school has no SEC (PG3) intake at Secondary 1.
- Schools with both: IP and PG3 at the same school are separate choices with separate places and cut-offs. The PG3 cut-off is usually 1–2 points looser.
Before choosing IP
- The bar is high: every IP cut-off in 2025 was AL 9 or better, most between 6 and 8.
- No O-Level does not mean easier: schools use the freed time for deeper content and projects. Students need to be fairly self-directed.
- The exit is fixed: IP students continue to their own school's upper years or a partner JC. Switching to a polytechnic midway is harder.
- DSA is separate: many IP schools admit students with particular talents through Direct School Admission before PSLE results, outside the cut-off.
If your score is near an IP cut-off, you can list both the IP and the PG3 choice of the same school, with IP first.
