The JIP Curriculum

The Joint Integrated Programme curriculum offers an enriched, authentic and extensive six-year experience for JIP students. It not only identifies a common core that is offered to all our JIP students but provides expanded opportunities for student interaction and learning, made possible by the creation of common spaces that honour the uniqueness in each school and enable the three secondary schools, together with Eunoia Junior College, to engage our students in our JIP Curriculum.

OUR CORE Developed collaboratively by the three partner CURRICULUM schools, the Year 1 to 4 academic programme is aligned with the three disciplines of Languages, Humanities and the Arts, and Mathematics and Sciences. This is to ensure a strong grounding in the content, skills, and rigour required to excel in the core subject disciplines offered within the same disciplinary clusters at JC1 and JC2.

A deep understanding of subject matter is emphasised to support further intellectual pursuits, enabling students to transform factual information into new and “useable” knowledge. Hence, all Year 1 and 2 students offer a general curriculum that enables them to explore various disciplinary fields and make an informed choice regarding the subject options to be offered at Years 3 and 4, and subsequently at JC1 and JC2, including the MOE Special Programmes offered by EJC.

Our Core Academic Programme ensures that our JIP students are poised to further their intellectual pursuits and realise their potential in different areas of interests and specialisations by providing a strong grounding in knowledge and skills across the different subject disciplines.

CURRICULUM

From Years 1 to 4, modules offered under Philosophy of Knowledge and Emerging Asia, some in Chinese Language, ride on the existing World Readiness strengths of our schools in nurturing bilingual and bicultural students. They also develop our JIP students to be well-versed in eastern and western perspectives on knowledge, reason and Programme values. In turn, the Current Affairs modules are designed to promote an understanding of global issues and megatrends.

From Years 1 to 4, the knowledge that our JIP students acquire in WRP will provide them with the foundational knowledge and skills that will put them in good stead for specific subjects and special programmes offered at Eunoia Junior College.

Passion Pursuit

Guided by the firm belief that joy for learning is key to supporting future learning, our Passion Pursuit (PP) programme offers customised opportunities for JIP students to pursue their learning at an extended or deeper level in both the academic and non-academic domains in their six years with the JIP. Passion Pursuit provides avenues for high academic achievement, intellectual discovery, leadership excellence and extra- curricular exploration essential to lifelong learning through an enriching journey of Diverge, Converge and Emerge. Students get to explore a broad spectrum of interest areas under the Diverge strand, understand what passion really means through the Converge strand and eventually actualise it as part of purposeful living in the Emerge strand. Across the three strands, Passion Pursuit is implemented through Platforms for Exploration and Platforms for Pursuit, and is enriched by the strong partnership among the partner schools and our networks of alumni and community partners.

PLATFORMS FOR EXPLORATION

These are modules offered to our students to nurture their intellectual curiosity and further their interests in the various domains. There are opportunities for students to be exposed to various fields at an introductory or novice level often triggered by an initial interest.

The modules encourage exploration and experimentation to ascertain if students wish to pursue them at a deeper and more sustained level. Examples of such modules include Aromachemistry, Art of Ensemble Playing and niche sports such as archery.

PLATFORMS FOR PURSUIT

Extending from the Platforms for Exploration, the Platforms for Pursuit enable the pursuit of disciplines at a deeper level, while nurturing the students to be confident and self-directed learners. This is delivered through a range of creative and innovative avenues, and students can look forward to engaging actively in meaning-making through rich dialogue and interaction. An example of Platform for Pursuit is the Research and Mentorship Programme which enables our JIP students to have a choice of engaging in discipline-based or multidisciplinary projects with a teacher mentor or a researcher and expert in selected fields in an in-depth investigation. A reflective component weaved into the design of this programme brings JIP students on a journey of self-discovery to deepen their engagement in these areas.

RESEARCH AND MENTORSHIP PROGRAMME – A Platform for Pursuit Our three JIP schools work closely with our strong network of alumni, collaborating organisations and community partners to provide research and mentorship opportunities for our students. Our broad base of partners The Research and Mentorship Programme, which emphasises equipping include A*STAR, Changi General Hospital, National Heritage Board, our students with the necessary knowledge and skills to engage in Singapore Science Centre, Defence Science and Technology Agency, the research projects at a higher level, is structured as follows: Dolphin Discovery Centre in Australia and more.
