Get to know each school

Anglican High School

Anglican High was founded in 1956 by Chinese-speaking Anglican congregations. Its first 123 male pupils studied at St Andrew’s Secondary before the Upper Changi Road buildings were completed in 1960. The heritage page records its later selection under the Special Assistance Plan, the phasing-out of pre-university classes and subsequent campus upgrading. This explains the school’s Chinese educational and church background. The present school is a secondary-school choice; its historical pre-university section should not be presented as a current route.

The two-year i-SCoRe programme connects Food and Consumer Education with Design and Technology through Design Thinking. Published tasks include sustainable packaging for a hawker dish, a meal for someone with a diet-related condition, and projects using 3D printing or micro:bits. Students work from a persona and empathy research, then present a proposed solution. This provides useful detail for a parent interested in applied learning: ask how the child investigates a person’s needs, tests an idea and explains the choices made.

Nanyang Girls' High School

Nanyang Girls’ began in a rented Dhoby Ghaut shophouse in 1917, later moving to King’s Road and then Linden Drive in June 1999. It became a SAP school in 1979 and independent in 1993. MOE’s history records the Integrated Programme partnership with Hwa Chong Institution starting in 2004, followed by the Bicultural Studies Programme in 2005. These milestones explain the school’s bilingual and bicultural setting. They do not make every specialist programme automatic for every student; the current talent-development pages should be read alongside individual selection requirements.

All lower-secondary pupils experience art, dance, food studies, maker and music lessons. Maker work uses design thinking: understanding users, identifying needs, developing prototypes and revising products after feedback. Music examples include songwriting and film music; Chinese dance forms part of Appreciation of Chinese Culture. AEP and Higher Music are additional subjects offered through selection, including art portfolio interviews and music auditions. Pupils can also apply at the end of Sec 2 for upper-secondary entry, subject to selection. Broad exposure is therefore distinct from taking a specialist subject.
