The NUS High School of Math and Science, also known as NUS High School or NUSH, is a specialised independent high school in Singapore offering a six-year Integrated Programme (IP) leading to the NUS High School Diploma. Its parent university is the National University of Singapore. The school offers an accelerated mathematics and science curriculum integrated with language, arts, humanities, sports, in a modular system. Over 70% of its graduates have pursued Science, Technology, Engineering and Medicine-related courses in university. Curriculum Academic curriculum NUS High School is an Integrated Programme school, which allows students to bypass the GCE O Levels. However, unlike other Integrated Programme schools, it does not offer GCE A Level or International Baccalaureate programmes. Instead, it offers an NUS High School Diploma, which is recognized by all universities in Singapore, as well as by universities worldwide. The diploma's curriculum is based on a modular system similar to its parent university NUS. Core modules are compulsory, elective modules help deepen the student's knowledge and may be compulsory for a major in a particular subject, and enrichment modules are purely for the student's interests. The school uses the cumulative average point (CAP) system, a 5-point system similar to the grade point average used in the United States. This is unlike most other schools in Singapore, where subjects are graded according to the British GCSE System. The school's mathematics and science curriculums are accelerated. Topics are usually covered earlier than other schools. For example, the mole is introduced in Year 2 instead of Year 3, kinematics in Year 1 and Year 2 instead of Year 5, calculus in Year 3, and molecular biology and genetics in Year 3 instead of Year 6. Examples of the accelerated mathematics curriculum include sections on solutions of equations introduced in Year 1 instead of Year 3, and three-dimensional vectors and matrices in Years 2 and 4 instead of Year 5. The school offers elective programmes which may or may not count to the CAP. Students may choose up to two electives which will be held after the core modules. The school also offers honours courses in the Specialization Stage for mathematical and scientific disciplines. The curriculum in these honours courses usually covers university material, such as linear algebra in mathematics, calculus-based electromagnetism in physics, organic synthesis and spectroscopy in chemistry, and proteomics in biology.
