SJIIM’s curriculum begins in the Early Years (Nursery and Reception) with the UK Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), combined with the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC), Singapore Maths, and daily Mandarin. In Primary School (Years 1–6), students follow the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) alongside the UK National Curriculum, continuing with daily Mandarin. Lower Secondary (Years 7–9) builds on the UK National Curriculum to prepare students for the Cambridge IGCSE. In Years 10 and 11, students take IGCSE courses, with core subjects such as English, Mathematics, and Science, and a choice of electives including Economics, History, Music, Art, Business Studies, and additional languages like Spanish, Mandarin, or Malay. Finally, in Sixth Form (Years 12–13), students choose three or four Cambridge A Level subjects from a wide list (such as Biology, Economics, Further Mathematics, Mandarin AS, Spanish AS, Visual Arts, and many more), with the option to complete the Cambridge International Project Qualification (IPQ) and participate in the non-examinable Lasallian Core enrichment programme.
