Get to know each school
Evergreen Secondary School
Evergreen Secondary opened in 2000 with 320 students and 12 teaching staff, moving to 11 Woodlands Street 83 in June that year. MOE's history records its North Zone Centre of Excellence in National Education designation in 2003, followed by NE awards in 2004 and 2008. Later developments included communication-based applied learning in 2015 and sports-based learning for life in 2016. These are dated milestones rather than a present-day ranking. They help explain why public communication, citizenship and sport recur in the current programme descriptions.
The current ALP is titled Bilingual Voices, Active Citizens. It links communication in English and Mother Tongue Languages with discussion of real-world and civic issues. Its lower-secondary Music component uses writing and performing raps to help pupils express their perspectives. This gives a concrete classroom activity behind the programme name. The page's introductory claim about musical talent is broader than the detail in its body: it does not establish specialist music tuition, an audition pathway or proven gains in bilingual proficiency for every pupil.
Presbyterian High School
The first Li Sun High School pupils arrived on 4 January 1965 at premises lent by Ming Sin School, off Upper Serangoon Road. The name honoured missionary Alan S. Moore Anderson through his Chinese name. The move to Ang Mo Kio and adoption of the Presbyterian High name came in the 1980s. MOE’s heritage account records PRIME redevelopment in 2000 and the opening of the new premises in 2004. Its Christian mission remains part of the school’s stated character-development approach.
The current ALP covers all lower-secondary pupils through Health and Food Science. Secondary 1 pupils use design thinking to prototype soap products and test their effectiveness in reducing virus transmission; the page also describes AI-assisted packaging design. Secondary 2 pupils code micro:bit prototypes around food security. A separate Tier 2 offers learning journeys and STEM competitions, including app development. These descriptions should not be confused with the older forensic and pharmaceutical science programme in the school’s history.
