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.
Victoria School
Victoria School began in 1876 as an English class for twelve boys in Kampong Glam Malay School. It became Victoria Bridge School after moving near the bridge in 1900, and adopted Victoria School at Tyrwhitt Road in 1933. It received autonomous status in 1993 and moved to Siglap Link in 2003. Its house system dates from 1929; the Victoria Challenge began in 1987. These long-running traditions explain part of the school’s identity, without proving that every present pupil has the same experience.
The website presents a national-examination route, still labelled the O-Level Programme, alongside the Victoria-Cedar Alliance IP. Its published subject list spans sciences, humanities, languages and options such as Art, Music and Physical Education; families should verify the next intake’s qualification labels, availability and prerequisites. IP pupils spend four years at their secondary school before two years at VJC. The IP framework includes research, electives and the Helmsman leadership programme, progressing from personal and team leadership to organisational leadership. It expects students to take ownership of learning; it is not simply an exam-free version of the other route.
