Get to know each school
Clementi Town Secondary School
Clementi Town Secondary opened in 1980. Its computing history includes a 1994 Apple Macintosh laboratory under the Smart Classroom pilot and a 1997 IT masterplan. After PRIME upgrading, the school returned to its Clementi campus in 2008. Students and alumni began staging biennial musicals in 2009, starting with To Kill a Mockingbird. In 2015 it received its STEM ALP and leadership-through-uniformed-groups LLP. These milestones explain its programme background without implying that every former initiative continues unchanged.
The MARS ALP integrates STEM skills into lower-secondary English, Mathematics and Science. Its second tier offers interested students deeper workshops, enrichment and competitions. Science-in-Action involves Secondary 2 and 3 pupils in a year-long project with a teacher or tertiary mentor; computing extensions include AI and coding projects. The school documents 17 Secondary 3 pupils taking part in a May 2024 Hwa Chong computing exchange, and projects such as a recyclable-sorting machine and canteen queue estimator. These are examples of extended participation, not the experience promised to every student.
Methodist Girls' School (Secondary)
MGS began in 1887 under Sophia Blackmore, moved to Mount Sophia in 1925 and Blackmore Drive in 1992. Its secondary section became independent in 1989 and added the IP in 2013. The current academic pages distinguish the Secondary Education Certificate track from a six-year IP, with Years 5 and 6 at Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) for the International Baccalaureate Diploma. Families should identify the actual offered track before comparing assessment, progression and fees; the shared school name does not make the two programmes interchangeable.
The SEC page gives lower-secondary pupils a broad curriculum including computing, project work and Contemporary Issues: Perspectives & Inquiry. CPI is specifically offered to Sec 1 and 2 in the SEC track, using research and discussion to examine identity, diversity and differing perspectives. Upper-secondary pupils combine core subjects with two to four electives, subject to approval; the list includes Computing, sciences, humanities and Music. A published subject list therefore needs to be read with allocation requirements, rather than as a guarantee of any chosen combination.
