- Two-year JC program (Grades 11 to 12)

Special Programmes
In addition to the conventional school curriculum, National Junior College offers several specialty programs. These programs get designed to pique students’ interest in academic and non-academic topics outside of their major.
Art Elective Programme
In 1985, National Junior College became the first school to offer the Art Elective Program (AEP), which allowed students in the art to improve their skills. The college also provides specialized facilities for students to explore various art media as part of this program. Students take art as a subject at both the Higher 2 and Higher 3 levels of the Singapore-Cambridge GCE Advanced Level at the end of this program.
In 1987, the college was one of six colleges to pioneer the Singapore Ministry of Education’s Humanities Programme, encouraging students to pursue humanities studies at the pre-university level. Under the Language Elective Program, German was initially presented as a topic in a junior college in 1992.

It began in 2006 and now provides a 6-year program that culminates in an ‘A’ Level exam where students can take Music at the Higher 2 level. Students may, however, choose to abandon their studies after two or four years.
