Get to know each school

Edgefield Secondary School

Edgefield Secondary was established in 2011 and officially opened in July 2013. MOE records ALP and taekwondo LLP recognition in 2014, followed by mixed-stream form classes and a personalised-device pilot in 2019. Its history places those initiatives in the development towards Full Subject-Based Banding. That is useful context for its emphasis on technology and student choice, but a pilot designation is not proof of an individual child's friendships, learning progress or current classroom experience.

Growing the Edgefield Mindset uses future scenarios such as programming drones for a simulated earthquake search, designing for food or water scarcity, and modelling a floating city. These are learning scenarios, not actual disaster deployments. The school also documents ARTasFEST on 23 May 2025: Secondary 1 worked on merchandise with vendors, Secondary 2 coordinated food and beverages, and Secondary 3 designed carnival games. That dated event shows how entrepreneurial tasks were distributed across levels; it does not guarantee identical projects for every later cohort.

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.
