Get to know each school
Fuhua Secondary School
MOE’s narrative dates Fuhua Secondary’s founding to 1999, with its first pupils in 2000 and official opening in 2002. It records robotics niche status in 2007, forensic-science ALP in 2015 and community-youth-leadership LLP in 2016. Later additions include the 2022 Living Lab for inquiry into plant growth and sustainability, and the 2024 i-GEN Studio for making and experimentation. Its chronology and programmes are separate from the much older Fuhua Primary; the similar names do not make their student experiences interchangeable.
All lower-secondary pupils undergo a one-year forensic-science programme. Lessons use hands-on investigation, moving through evidence, research, experiments, data interpretation and evaluation of findings. The page does not specify which lower-secondary year hosts that course. Specialist modules, such as digital forensics, are offered to selected pupils with a deeper interest. This gives a clear distinction between the common science experience and further study; a family should ask about the actual cohort schedule and how elective selection works.
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.
