In 2012, students from CHIJ St Nicholas Girls' School topped the Singapore-Cambridge GCE Ordinary Level examinations for the fourth consecutive year.

Under the programme, students skip the Singapore-Cambridge GCE Ordinary Level examinations in their respective schools, and move to Eunoia Junior College for pre-university education in Years 5 and 6 and sit for the Singapore-Cambridge GCE Advanced Level examinations at the end of Year 6.
