Methodist Girls’ School is one of seven selected secondary schools to be included in the extension of MOE’s Integrated Programme (IP).
MGS’s proposed programme will be similar to the IP that has been established and running in ACS (Independent) since 2004. MGS will be looking to admit students at the Secondary 1 and Secondary 3 levels, with the first Secondary 1 IP intake targeted for 2013, and the Secondary 3 intake in 2015. We are currently working out the implementation details in consultation with ACS (Independent) and MOE.
MOE has reported on the success of the IP with the first three batches of IP graduates having done well at the ‘A’ levels or International Baccalaureate (IB). The general feedback from IP students is equally positive, reflecting the students’ enjoyment of a learning environment that has allowed them to stretch their intellectual potential while equipping them for self-directed learning.
MGS has always promoted the ethos of excellence, not just in academic performance, but in all aspects of education. It is our desire that each MGS girl excels within a holistic learning environment.
Said Mrs Shirleen Ong, Principal of MGS: “In many ways, the progression to the IP is a natural choice for MGS. Our Sophia Blackmore Class (SBC) curriculum was started in 2005 as a customised learning scheme for high-ability students, and the IP’s introduction will serve to enrich the holistic learning of our students.” She added, “The hallmarks of the MGS education defined by the school’s mission, vision, values and motto will continue to shape a distinctive Year 1-4 programme for girls as we implement IP in MGS.”
