Get to know each school

East Spring Secondary School

East Spring Secondary was established in 1999, initially operating at Junyuan Secondary before moving to Tampines Street 34. In 2019 it merged with East View Secondary, retaining the East Spring name and campus. The combined school adopted East View's Health Science ALP, replacing the earlier energy-themed programme recorded in MOE's history. Older reviews may therefore describe either predecessor school or a different programme. The history has differing entries for the exact campus-move year, so that detail is not treated as settled here.

The Mathematics department describes a Learning Support Programme for pupils with lower readiness, alongside ACE and Singapore and Asian Schools Math Olympiad opportunities for higher-readiness learners. Classroom tools include GeoGebra and manipulatives, with an online resource repository and tasks applying maths to daily life. The school records competition results and an overseas learning journey, but these do not establish participation for every pupil or comparative teaching quality. Families should ask how support and enrichment placements are identified and reviewed, including for subjects taken at different levels.

Regent Secondary School

Regent Secondary opened in 2000 at Unity Secondary School before moving to 50 Choa Chu Kang North 5 in 2001. MOE records a concert-band niche in 2013, an underwater-robotics Applied Learning Programme in 2014 and community and youth leadership as its Learning for Life Programme from 2016. The current ALP page identifies resource sustainability as the focus from 2024. Families should therefore distinguish historical robotics descriptions from the programme described for today’s pupils, rather than assume the earlier provision remains unchanged.

The resource-sustainability ALP links food and water issues with subjects including English, Geography, Science, Mathematics and Nutrition & Food Science. Published examples include interdisciplinary learning journeys, student-initiated learning during home-based learning and cohort VIA projects with community partners. A second tier offers external forums, competitions and conservation advocacy. These are described opportunities, not confirmation that every pupil takes every trip or competition. ALP is non-examinable, so parents can ask how projects fit alongside assessed subjects and how specialist opportunities are allocated.
