由来
  • 2002年，检讨初级学院和中学高年级教育委员会 (Junior College/Upper Secondary Education Review Committee) 宣布推出直通车课程，让成绩属于全国首百分之十的学生可选择免于参加O水准会考，有更多时间培养求知欲、创造力、批判性思维及领导能力。时任教育部长张志贤于2002年12月30日宣布此课程将于2004年推出。
  • 在多数提供直通车课程的学校就读的学生将考取A水准证书。这些学校包括: 公教中学 (与诺雅初级学院提供课程)、四德女中 (与维多利亚初级学院提供课程)、圣尼格拉女校 (与诺雅初级学院提供课程)、德明政府中学、华侨中学、南洋女子中学校 (与华侨中学 [高中部] 提供课程)、国家初级学院、莱佛士女子中学 (与莱佛士书院  [高中部] 提供课程)、莱佛士书院、立化中学、新加坡女子学校 (与诺雅初级学院提供课程)、淡马锡初级学院及维多利亚中学 (与维多利亚初级学院提供课程)。
  • 提供国际中学毕业会考课程 (International Baccalaureate [IB] Diploma) 的学校有: 英华中学 (自主)、美以美女子中学 (与英华中学 [自主] 提供课程)、圣诺瑟书院。一些专科自主学校 (Specialised Independent Schools) 也提供该课程，如新加坡艺术学院。
  • 新加坡国立大学附属理数中学的学生将获得国大附中文凭 (NUS High School Diploma)。  
  • 就读直通车课程的学生也可选择在中学的四年期间转回O水准课程。第五或第六年的学生也可以选择离开直通车课程，转而报读理工学院。
ETYMOLOGY
  • The Junior College/Upper Secondary Education Review Committee announced the launch of the Integrated Programme (IP) in 2002. The programme allowed students who scored in the top 10% of their cohort to proceed directly to junior college without taking the O-Level examination, giving them more time to develop their intellectual curiosity, creativity, critical thinking and leadership skills. Then Minister of Education Teo Chee Hean announced on 30 December 2002 that the programme would be launched in 2004.
  • Most schools offering the IP lead to an A-Level certificate. These include Catholic High School (with Eunoia Junior College), Cedar Girls’ Secondary School (with Victoria Junior College), CHIJ St Nicholas Girls’ School (with Eunoia Junior College), Dunman High School, Hwa Chong Institution, Nanyang Girls’ High School (with Hwa Chong Institution [Junior College]), National Junior College, Raffles Girls’ School (Secondary) (with Raffles Institution [Junior College]), Raffles Institution, River Valley High School, Singapore Chinese Girls’ School (with Eunoia Junior College), Temasek Junior College, and Victoria School (with Victoria Junior College).
  • The following schools offer the IP leading to an International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma: Anglo-Chinese School (Independent), Methodist Girls’ School (with Anglo-Chinese School [Independent]), St Joseph’s Institution. Some Specialised Independent Schools also offer the programme, such as School of the Arts.
  • Students in NUS High School of Mathematics and Science’s IP programme receive an NUS High School Diploma at the end of six years.
  • IP students can opt to switch back to O-Level courses during their four years of secondary school, while those in their fifth or sixth year can also opt out of the IP and apply to polytechnics.
