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.

Geylang Methodist School (Secondary)

Geylang Methodist's origins lie in a class of 27 girls within Geylang Chinese Methodist Church in 1924. Secondary classes began in 1950. In 1984 the institution split into separate primary and secondary schools and became co-educational; the secondary school became single-session in 1999. The schools marked their centenary in 2024 with The Living Gallery heritage museum. The shared heritage should not blur their different programmes: the secondary school's sustainability ALP is distinct from the primary school's English communication programme.

The Tier 1 ALP is integrated into science for all lower-secondary pupils, with one hour a week over ten weeks. Secondary 1 investigates the urban heat-island effect, while Secondary 2 explores urban agriculture through experiments, fieldwork and a mini-project. Tier 2 is for interested Secondary 3 pupils seeking further STEM work. This is a useful distinction between scheduled general exposure and additional opportunities. Parents can ask what the project demands, how work is assessed and how pupils with different science subject levels are supported.
