Get to know each school
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.
Greenridge Secondary School
Today’s Greenridge Secondary was formed in 2023 from the former Greenridge and Fajar schools. Its heritage includes Dunearn Secondary Technical, established in 1964 and renamed Greenridge after its 1992 move, and Chestnut Drive, whose first pupils arrived in 1968. The detailed heritage account dates the formal Fajar–Chestnut Drive merger to 2016, following preparations in 2015. Fajar returned to its upgraded Gangsa Road campus in 2018. Accounts written before 2023 therefore describe predecessor schools rather than the present merged community.
The current ALP page, updated on 2 October 2026, focuses on communication through English and Mother Tongue languages. All lower-secondary pupils receive Tier 1 exposure: Secondary 1 creates digital stories and podcasts; Secondary 2 researches, interviews and produces video documentaries about social issues. Further talent development covers debating, emceeing, journalism and digital media. The site separately labels older material as archived prior to 2026. The current account is used here rather than combining those versions into one programme.
