HL vs SL
HL subjects run 240 teaching hours in greater depth; SL runs 150 hours. Students take three HL and three SL subjects.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between HL and SL subjects?
HL subjects involve 240 teaching hours and cover topics in greater depth. SL subjects involve 150 teaching hours. Students take three HL and three SL subjects. HL grades matter more for admission to competitive university courses.
Should my child take Mathematics AA or AI?
AA is more algebra- and calculus-focused, suiting Mathematics, Engineering, Physics, and Economics. AI emphasises statistics and modelling, suiting the Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, and Business. We advise based on your child's strengths and goals.
How important are the IA, EE, and TOK?
Very. IAs can account for 20–30% of a subject's grade. The EE and TOK together contribute up to 3 bonus points, and a failing grade in one combined with a low grade in the other can cause automatic Diploma failure.
Can you help with the Extended Essay?
Yes — research question development, source guidance, structure planning, draft feedback, and final polishing, across all subjects.
Do you work with students from all Singapore IB schools?
Yes, including ACS (Independent), SJI International, Canadian International School, Tanglin Trust School, Overseas Family School, and other IB institutions in Singapore.
