Ignite the flames of knowledge as you explore the various possibilities on offer here at YIJC!
Our students undertake the Singapore-Cambridge GCE A-Level Curriculum, typically offering three H2 content-based subjects and one H1 content-based subject.
The three other compulsory subjects for students are H1 General Paper, Project Work and H1 Mother Tongue. In their first year, students must offer Project Work.
Mother Tongue (MT)
Students must offer Mother Tongue (H1) unless they have obtained a minimum grade of D7 for Higher Mother Tongue at GCE O-Level.
Students may opt for a:
-
non-Tamil Indian language (Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu) for H1 Mother Tongue if taken at O-Level
-
foreign language (e.g. H1 German, H1 French, H1 Japanese) in-lieu of H1 Mother Tongue if taken at O- Level (subjected to approval).
-
MT Syllabus ‘B’ if taken at O-Level or with Mother Tongue grades D7, E8 or F9 in their GCE O-Level Examination (subjected to approval).
Contrasting Subject
Students must offer a Contrasting Subject as one of the four content-based subjects. A subject cannot be offered at both H1 and H2 levels. Students must offer at least one subject from Group (A) Mathematics and Science subjects, and at least one subject from Group (B) Humanities and Arts subjects.
