For local citizens, the high school in Singapore is composed of junior colleges and vocational or arts institutions. Education in junior colleges is for two years, three years in polytechnic institutions, and one-two years in institutes of technical education. But, international schools like GIIS Singapore follow internationally accepted curricula like IGCSE and IBDP along with CBSE for students of Indian origin. IGCSE level education is for Grade 9 and 10, followed by two years of International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP). Moreover, high school education for the CBSE curriculum is for four years.
High school education in Singapore is divided into junior colleges (pre-universities), polytechnics, and centralized institutes. The subjects in a junior college are divided as Higher 1, Higher 2, and Higher 3: Science and Mathematics, Languages, Humanities and Arts, and Commerce groups. Centralized institutes follow a similar framework, but polytechnics follow an industry-relevant curriculum. However, schools like GIIS follow the IGCSE and IBDP curriculum taught with a global perspective. The subjects for IGCSE include English-Languages and Maths-Sciences. Moreover, IBDP has subjects in 6 groups: language and literature, Language (modern language), Individuals and societies, Sciences, Mathematics, and arts. Learners are allowed to pick a combination of subjects as per their requirements and interests.
The equivalent of high school in Singapore is junior colleges, centralized institutes, and polytechnics. They are different courses offered to students based on merit, and after completing them, students can pursue university-level education. But, international schools like GIIS do not follow these guidelines and utilize an approach where high school education is globally accepted. We follow curricula like IGCSE (International General Certificate of Secondary Education) and IBDP (International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme) that are international programs and recognized all over the globe. The education levels for these programs are for learners in Grade 9, 10, 11, and 12.
