The integrated programme was first implemented in [[Dunman High School]], [[Hwa Chong Institution]] (formerly [[The Chinese High School]]), [[Nanyang Girls' High School]], [[Raffles Girls School (Secondary)|Raffles Girls School]], [[Raffles Institution (Secondary)|Raffles Institution]], and [[River Valley High School, Singapore|River Valley High School]] in 2004.{{cncitation needed|date=January 2014}}

The IP allows students to skip the O-level at secondary four and be admitted directly to junior colleges (while there are cases of students being asked by the school to "leave" this system as their pace could not be kept up). However, the students would still have to take the Mother Tongue O-level. All the schools allowed in the scheme accepts the top 10% of the national cohort. This ensures that students who are under the IP are able to cope with their A-level after bypassing their O-level.{{cncitation needed|date=January 2014}}

Some junior colleges including [[National Junior College]], [[Temasek Junior College]], and [[Victoria Junior College]], offer it independently. VJC is now offering it with Cedar Girls Secondary and Victoria School (more info below)

For the four-year IP, secondary two students from various schools are allowed to apply for this programme. These students have their secondary three and four education in the junior college itself, followed by the A-level course.

[[Dunman High School]] (DHS) applied for the IP system in mid-2004 standalone, and the [[Ministry of Education (Singapore)|Ministry of Education]] approved the first batch to be enrolled in 2005, with Year 1 and Year 3 students, each having a cap of about 135 out of 380 students. Full IP was granted in late 2005, and the school went full IP at the beginning of 2006.

[[River Valley High School, Singapore|River Valley High School]] joined the IP system in 2006 by operating a six-year course standalone.

Since 2009, National Junior College has also accepted students who have taken the [[Primary School Leaving Examination]] (PSLE), making it a six-year program.
