Get to know each school
Jurong Secondary School
Jurong opened on 28 August 1963 as Jurong Integrated Secondary School, following requests from residents of the developing industrial area. It took its present name in 1971, moved to Yuan Ching Road on 2 November 1974, and officially opened that campus on 2 July 1976. The history also records a pre-university centre established in 1981 for about a decade. That was an earlier stage of the school, rather than a course offered to today’s secondary entrants.
The ALP, Design for Smart and Sustainable Urban Living, has a common curriculum for all Secondary 1 and 2 students. Secondary 1 combines micro:bit tinkering with inquiry into sustainable urban living. Secondary 2 uses design thinking to identify community problems and develop technology-based prototypes. The school describes showcasing pupils’ best work at its Green Carnival and Maker Faire. Further workshops, competitions and industry visits are for interested students. Tokyo in 2024 and Shanghai in 2025 are examples of past immersion trips, rather than trips promised to every cohort.
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.
