Gifted Education Programme: Gifted Education Programme Schools

Gifted education is offered in the following schools:

Primary Gifted Education Programme (GEP) (Primary 4 to 6)

School	Nature of School
Anglo-Chinese School (Primary)	Boys
Catholic High School (Primary)*	Boys
Henry Park Primary School	Co-ed
Nan Hua Primary School*	Co-ed
Nanyang Primary School*	Co-ed
Raffles Girls' Primary School	Girls
Rosyth School	Co-ed
St Hilda's Primary School	Co-ed
Tao Nan School*	Co-ed

* Special Assistance Plan (SAP) Schools which offer only Chinese Language as Mother Tongue.

From 2008, all 9 primary GEP centres introduced initiatives to promote greater interaction between GEP and non-GEP pupils, allowing them to learn, work and play together on a daily basis.

The integration models proposed generally take one of 2 forms:

• Integrated form classes comprising GEP and non-GEP pupils. The form class has common lessons for all subjects except the school’s GEP core curriculum. GEP pupils attend separate classes for English Language, Mathematics and Science. This model is implemented in Nan Hua Primary School and Tao Nan School (BiCEP classes).
• Separate form classes for GEP and non-GEP pupils. Pupils will be pulled out of their form class for combined lessons in Art and Crafts, Civics and Moral Education, Chinese Language / Higher Chinese, Music and Physical Education. This model is implemented in the other 7 centres.

All 9 schools will continue to provide enhanced opportunities for greater integration through schoolwide activities, CCAs and community involvement programmes.

Secondary Gifted Education Programme (GEP) and School-Based Gifted Education (SBGE) Programme

Pupils at the Secondary level can choose from various programmes:

1. Since most of our pupils are enrolled in the IP from Secondary 1, the centrally run Secondary GEP has been phased out by end of 2008. Primary 6 GEP pupils who opt for a 4-year O-Level programme can enrol in schools with school-based special programmes at Secondary 1. These schools are Anglo-Chinese School (Independent), Catholic High School (Secondary), Methodist Girls’ School, Singapore Chinese Girls’ School and St Joseph’s Institution.

2. School-Based Gifted Education (SBGE) Programmes

   School-based gifted education (SBGE) programmes are offered in 7 IP schools. The SBGE programmes are designed and implemented by the schools with specialist advice from the Ministry of Education. The schools that offer SBGE are Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) [ACS(I)], Dunman High School [DHS], Hwa Chong Institution [HCI], Nanyang Girls’ High School [NYGH], NUS High School of Mathematics and Science [NUSHS], Raffles Girls᾿ School (Secondary) [RGS(S)] and Raffles Institution [RI]. These programmes start at Secondary 1 and culminate either in the A-Level Examination for DHS, HCI, NYGH, RGS(S) and RI, or the International Baccalaureate for ACS(I) or the NUS High School Diploma for NUSHS.

   Pupils in HCI and NYGH will study in their respective campus in the first 4 years of the programme and continue at HCI (College Section) in the final 2 years, while those in RGS(S) and RI will go to RJC after the first 4 years.

   Pupils in ACS(I), DHS and NUSHS will complete the 6-year programmes in their respective campus.
