[edit] History

Classes officially started in January, 1987 with 152 students enrolled. In the same year, students who sat for the A-Level and LCCI examinations did extremely well, and this has prompted the Hakka Association to raise funds to build a building specially for the "Pre-University" students. The building was completed in 1989 and officially used.

Institut Sinaran is formerly known as "Sabah Tshung Tsin Pre-University Centre".

[edit] A-Levels

Cambridge A-Level (SM3721)

The institute offers a course leading up to a qualifications in GCE A-Levels as administered by Cambridge International Examinations. Two streams of study are offered, Science and Commerce, where students choose from a list of subjects offered within a stream. Science subjects on offer are Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Mathematics and Further Mathematics, while Commerce subjects on offer are Accounting, Business Studies, Economics, Mathematics and Law. While the school's official policy is that students are only able to take subjects from the same course, there has been instances in the past where a student, with approval, is allowed to forgo this requirement and do a mixture of subjects from both courses. The school also operates both regular A-Levels (1 1/2 year course) and also Intensive A-Levels (1 year course). This applies to both Science and Commerce streams.
