Get to know each school

Peirce Secondary School

Peirce Secondary began in 1994 with 356 Secondary 1 pupils on Bishan Park Secondary’s premises, moving to Sin Ming Walk in February 1995. PRIME upgrading added an indoor sports hall before the school returned to its campus in December 2008; synthetic turf followed in June 2011. The merger with Bishan Park took effect on 2 January 2018, retaining the Peirce name and Sin Ming Walk site. Earlier accounts from either school are part of that history, but their buildings, teachers and programmes cannot be assumed to describe the merged school today.

The school’s September 2026 page describes a STEM ALP introduced in 2025. All lower-secondary pupils receive Tier 1 coding with microcontrollers, responsible AI use and design thinking, including makerspace work with 3D printers and laser cutters. Secondary 1 examples include a robotic grand prix; Secondary 2 projects become more complex and may connect to VIA community needs. Tier 2 adds advanced projects and a four-year pathway with Singapore Polytechnic for interested pupils. Further competition and enrichment opportunities depend on interest and aptitude, rather than being guaranteed to everyone.

Regent Secondary School

Regent Secondary opened in 2000 at Unity Secondary School before moving to 50 Choa Chu Kang North 5 in 2001. MOE records a concert-band niche in 2013, an underwater-robotics Applied Learning Programme in 2014 and community and youth leadership as its Learning for Life Programme from 2016. The current ALP page identifies resource sustainability as the focus from 2024. Families should therefore distinguish historical robotics descriptions from the programme described for today’s pupils, rather than assume the earlier provision remains unchanged.

The resource-sustainability ALP links food and water issues with subjects including English, Geography, Science, Mathematics and Nutrition & Food Science. Published examples include interdisciplinary learning journeys, student-initiated learning during home-based learning and cohort VIA projects with community partners. A second tier offers external forums, competitions and conservation advocacy. These are described opportunities, not confirmation that every pupil takes every trip or competition. ALP is non-examinable, so parents can ask how projects fit alongside assessed subjects and how specialist opportunities are allocated.
