Keeping in line with its history as a boys' school, ACS(I) provides secondary education for only boys from Years 1 to 4. Since 2012, ACS(I) and its affiliated school Methodist Girls' School (MGS) have partnered for an Integrated Programme, which allows ACS(I) and MGS students to skip the Singapore-Cambridge GCE Ordinary Level examinations and proceed directly to Years 5 and 6 at ACS(I) to complete the IB Diploma Programme.
