Get to know each school
Ang Mo Kio Secondary School
Ang Mo Kio Secondary started on 2 January 1979 with 12 Secondary 1 classes, initially housed at Hwi Yoh Secondary. It occupied Ang Mo Kio Street 22 later that year and was officially opened in September 1980. The school history records a temporary move to Hougang in December 1999 and a return in 2002. These dates distinguish founding, occupation and opening, and give the school a place in the history of the new town without relying on old reputation claims or admission-score comparisons.
The Applied Learning Programme is organised around biodiversity, energy and resources, and electronics and coding. The page describes biodiversity surveys, renewable-energy models and projects using sensors or microcontrollers, such as irrigation or energy-saving devices. It says the school has embarked on an AI pilot; it does not establish universal access to every advanced project. For a child interested in making things, ask what their year group builds and how teachers connect the design to a real environmental problem.
Chung Cheng High School (Yishun)
Chung Cheng High Yishun shares its 1939 origins with Chung Cheng Main. When the Goodman Road campus opened in 1947, the original Kim Yam Road campus became the Branch school. It moved to Guillemard Road in 1969, began English-stream classes in 1981, and operated across Guillemard and a Sembawang holding site during preparations for the northern move. The completed Yishun campus brought a new name in 2005; its official opening followed on 30 June 2006.
The aesthetics LLP lists Secondary 2 design-thinking and interest-based workshops, Secondary 1 interactive-video work, photography and engagement with artists. Its tiered structure also includes exhibitions and competitions; the page does not establish that every student receives every listed opportunity. MOE records a food science and technology ALP introduced in 2014. The current ALP page has little readable detail, so families should confirm today's year-level content rather than assume the historical description is the full current programme.
