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.
St Andrew's School (Secondary)
The school dates its founding to 8 September 1862, when the Anglican Church adopted an earlier Chin Chew Street institution. The Woodsville campus opened in 1940; the secondary school later used a new Potong Pasir site in 1986, before returning to Woodsville in December 2004 as part of St Andrew’s Village. The Village officially opened in August 2006. On 8 September 2025, the junior and secondary schools were renamed St Andrew’s School (Junior) and St Andrew’s School (Secondary), reflecting their shared identity rather than a newly established school.
The science page describes Secondary 1 investigations of Kallang River water quality and its ecosystem, followed by Secondary 2 ecological surveys at the park connector. In the Therapeutic Garden, pupils compare heat absorption across surfaces and containers using data loggers. Upper-secondary science offerings include Biology, Chemistry, Physics and combined-science options. The subject list does not guarantee every combination to every pupil. These practical descriptions show how scientific inquiry is introduced; they do not establish competition entry for all students or measured environmental outcomes.
