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.

Raffles Girls' School (Secondary)

RGS dates its establishment to 1879. Its historical milestones explain that the primary and secondary sections separated in 1959: the secondary section moved to Anderson Road, while the primary section remained at Queen Street as RGPS. RGS and RI introduced the six-year Raffles Programme in 2004. RGS moved from Anderson to Braddell in October 2019. The current admissions overview describes the IP as a six-year commitment and strongly discourages transfers, with transfers to other IP schools allowed only in exceptional circumstances. Families should consider the whole pathway, rather than only Year 1 entry.

The Research Studies curriculum begins with Year 1 skills in inquiry, research design, information literacy and data collection. Year 2 moves into school-based projects, specialised clusters or creative problem-solving, including planning, analysis, report writing and oral presentation. Year 3 intensifies this work and includes public presentation or publication opportunities. The page describes possible external mentorship with universities and other institutions, rather than guaranteeing a particular placement to every pupil. Families can ask how project topics, teams and mentors are allocated, and how research deadlines interact with ordinary subject work.
