Financially needy students who are Singapore citizens may apply for the Ministry of Education’s
Independent School Bursary (MOE-ISB) for school fee subsidy. The school also has bursaries for
students who do not qualify for ISB and for other fees payable. The application form is available
from the school’s Accounts Office in late December 2015.
7. Does the school offer MEP (Music Elective Programme)?
Though our school is not an MEP centre, we offer our own Higher Music Programme (HMP) which is
modelled after the MEP. However students in our HMP do not enjoy fee subsidy unless they are on
EESIS.
8. How does one qualify for the AEP?
Only students who are admitted to our school are invited to sit for qualifying tests on Registration
Day (Secondary 1) in December 2015.
As AEP is an MOE-initiated programme, students enrolled in the programme are required to
continue with this programme at upper secondary since so much effort and resources would have
been invested in them.
9. What is Integrated Programme (IP)?
The IP is a 6-year enriched curriculum that equips students with the necessary knowledge and skills
to proceed directly to the ‘A’ Level programme in Hwa Chong Institution.
