Geylang Methodist School (Secondary)

Geylang Methodist's origins lie in a class of 27 girls within Geylang Chinese Methodist Church in 1924. Secondary classes began in 1950. In 1984 the institution split into separate primary and secondary schools and became co-educational; the secondary school became single-session in 1999. The schools marked their centenary in 2024 with The Living Gallery heritage museum. The shared heritage should not blur their different programmes: the secondary school's sustainability ALP is distinct from the primary school's English communication programme.

The Tier 1 ALP is integrated into science for all lower-secondary pupils, with one hour a week over ten weeks. Secondary 1 investigates the urban heat-island effect, while Secondary 2 explores urban agriculture through experiments, fieldwork and a mini-project. Tier 2 is for interested Secondary 3 pupils seeking further STEM work. This is a useful distinction between scheduled general exposure and additional opportunities. Parents can ask what the project demands, how work is assessed and how pupils with different science subject levels are supported.

Montfort Secondary School

MOE’s history traces Montfort to 1916 and records the separation of junior and secondary schools in 1974. The school’s history describes the move to Hougang Avenue 8 in January 1992 and return after PRIME upgrading in January 2012. The primary school’s 2028 admission of girls does not mean secondary entry changes in that year. In CNA’s April 2026 report, St Gabriel’s Foundation and MOE were still discussing secondary arrangements, while the foundation chairman intended girls to continue there when the first primary cohort graduated. Confirm the eventual secondary intake announcement.

Sec 1 ALP introduces programming, microcontrollers and electronics through design-thinking challenges. Sec 2 adds cloud computing and AI/ML examples, including image recognition, chatbots and self-driving-vehicle training, alongside more advanced electronics. One final product described is a blockchain-inspired smart savings bank that records spending and automates deposits. Further 3D-printing and laser-cutting workshops sit in Tier 2; Maker Club provides a CCA route for fabrication and tinkering. The progression distinguishes broad classroom exposure from the additional opportunities available to interested students.
