Junior Colleges

The Junior Colleges aim to offer a challenging environment for students to develop their talents, both academically and non-academically. 

There are two ways to be admitted into a JC: either through the traditional Joint Admissions Exercise (JAE) or through the Direct School Admission – Junior College (DSA-JC) Exercise.

Students will take subjects at H1 and H2 levels in different subject combinations which have been carefully aligned to the GCE A-Level curriculum. The subject combinations allow students to pursue their areas of interest and to specialise in the domains of the Sciences or the Arts, but at the same time maintaining a broad exposure, by offering contrasting subjects, and building key knowledge skills via core subjects like General Paper and Project Work.

Eligible students can also offer subjects at H3 level which present diverse learning opportunities for critical thinking and in-depth study.

There are a variety of programmes in schools that help students develop their strengths and areas of interest. Learn more about these programmes and how they are beneficial.  Click on the respective links below to find out more!
