Get to know each school

Changkat Changi Secondary School

Changkat Changi began in 1966 on a small hill at Jalan Tiga Ratus. Its pupils included children from Pulau Ubin and Pulau Tekong, who travelled by morning and evening ferry. Lessons initially used English, Mandarin and Malay; English became the teaching language by 1973. The school moved to 23 Simei Street 3 in 2001. Its aviation ALP started in 2015. These dates help distinguish stories about the original campus from the school families visit today.

All lower-secondary pupils attend weekly SOAR lessons on flight principles, glider construction and drone programming. Further opportunities depend on interest and aptitude: flying-machine competitions, Singapore Polytechnic or Rolls-Royce workshops, and aviation exchanges. The page records French exchanges in May 2024 and Shanghai and Hong Kong travel in November 2025; these are past examples, rather than trips promised to every child. Applicants without prior STEM experience may be assessed on potential. Pupils admitted through this DSA talent area commit to relevant activities from Years 1 to 4.

Montfort Secondary School

MOE’s history traces Montfort to 1916 and records the separation of junior and secondary schools in 1974. The school’s history describes the move to Hougang Avenue 8 in January 1992 and return after PRIME upgrading in January 2012. The primary school’s 2028 admission of girls does not mean secondary entry changes in that year. In CNA’s April 2026 report, St Gabriel’s Foundation and MOE were still discussing secondary arrangements, while the foundation chairman intended girls to continue there when the first primary cohort graduated. Confirm the eventual secondary intake announcement.

Sec 1 ALP introduces programming, microcontrollers and electronics through design-thinking challenges. Sec 2 adds cloud computing and AI/ML examples, including image recognition, chatbots and self-driving-vehicle training, alongside more advanced electronics. One final product described is a blockchain-inspired smart savings bank that records spending and automates deposits. Further 3D-printing and laser-cutting workshops sit in Tier 2; Maker Club provides a CCA route for fabrication and tinkering. The progression distinguishes broad classroom exposure from the additional opportunities available to interested students.
