Nan Chiau High School has consistently achieved strong academic and non-academic results. A Band 1 school since 2006, the school’s students have performed well in both the GCE 'O' Level academic subjects and Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs). In 2014, students from Nan Chiau High School achieved a Mean Score of 10.6 in the GCE 'O' Level examinations (based on L1R5 grading), with over 90% of students receiving an A1 grading for their CCA involvement.<ref>{{cite web|title=Nan Chiau High School|url=http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=7792&start=190|website=Kiasu Parents|publisher=Covocal|access-date=30 January 2016}}</ref>
===SAP Flagship Programme (Cultural Intelligence)=== The SAP Flagship Programme is an integral component of Nan Chiau High's curriculum as a Special Assistance Plan (SAP) school. It incorporates Howard Gardner’s concept of the "Five Minds for the Future" (Disciplined Mind, Synthesizing Mind, Ethical Mind, Creating Mind, Respectful Mind), along with a sixth element, the "Bi-cultural Mind."<ref>{{Cite web|title=Five Minds for the Future|url=http://howardgardner.com/five-minds-for-the-future/|website=Howard Gardner|access-date=7 December 2015|archive-date=8 December 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151208092549/http://howardgardner.com/five-minds-for-the-future/|url-status=dead}}</ref>
The flagship programme develops students' interest in learning about eastern and western cultures by providing them with opportunities to integrate both cultures and to be immersed in other cultures, and to have in-depth understanding of the essence of both the east and the west, thus preparing students to become inclusive talents who are effectively bilingual and able to make strong and meaningful connections with the world. The four-year flagship programme is mainly made up of two segments, namely 'Broad-Base Curriculum' and 'Peaks of Excellence', which include cultural intelligence and life education to groom students to be world-ready. The 'Broad-Base Curriculum' spans the first year of the students' admission, with the introduction to Chinese culture and history, the history of Chinese immigrants and understanding diversity of local cultures. This is inculcated through various platforms such as cultural intelligence forums, bi-cultural camps, and Chinese lyrics competitions, as well as local and regional learning journeys.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Mother-Tongue Languages|url=http://nchs.edu.sg/mother-tongue-languages-2/|publisher=Nan Chiau High School|access-date=7 December 2015|archive-date=31 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160331025002/http://nchs.edu.sg/mother-tongue-languages-2/|url-status=dead}}</ref>
The 'Peaks of Excellence' curriculum is continuous with the 'Broad-Base Curriculum', with more elaborate programmes that cater to students' talent development. For instance, the Young Writers Programme, which is open to students who are interested in writing, has lessons conducted by various renowned Chinese language essayists in the region to expose and familiarise students to different forms of writing, and encourage them to appreciate different forms of written work. Students also have opportunities to attend cultural symposiums, national and international bi-cultural forums, research on contemporary issues, and embark on refined overseas immersions to strengthen their world and cultural views under the Global Classroom Programme.<ref>{{Cite web|title=NAN CHIAU HIGH SCHOOL Singapore|url=http://singapore-schools.com/nan-chiau-high-school-singapore/|website=Schools of Singapore|date=7 September 2015 |access-date=7 December 2015}}</ref><ref name="Global">{{Cite web|title=Nan Chiau High School Global Classroom|url=http://nchsglobal.livejournal.com/|archive-url=https://archive.today/20151224042003/http://nchsglobal.livejournal.com/|url-status=dead|archive-date=24 December 2015|website=nchsglobal.livejournal.com|access-date=7 December 2015}}</ref>
===Life Education Programme=== thumb|right|A student representative presenting their Arduino Shieldbot creation to visiting Malaysian Minister during a gift presentation ceremony at imbX Ministerial Forum in 2014.

The Learning for Life Programme (LLP) provides a unique cognitive-aesthetic domain of learning through drama, public speaking, debate, puppetry and creative Chinese lyrical composition, to strengthen self-expression and nurtures aesthetics appreciation in students, as well as to allow them to learn and embrace cultural diversity.<ref>{{Cite press release|url=http://archive-sg.com/page/7252662/2015-12-25/http://www.moe.gov.sg/media/press/2013/09/every-secondary-school-to-develop-two-distinctive-programmes-for-a-holistic-student-centric-education.php|title=Every Secondary School To Develop Two Distinctive Programmes for a Holistic Student-Centric Education|publisher=Ministry of Education|date=September 2013|access-date=1 July 2016}}{{Dead link|date=September 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
