Get to know each school
St Andrew's School (Secondary)
The school dates its founding to 8 September 1862, when the Anglican Church adopted an earlier Chin Chew Street institution. The Woodsville campus opened in 1940; the secondary school later used a new Potong Pasir site in 1986, before returning to Woodsville in December 2004 as part of St Andrew’s Village. The Village officially opened in August 2006. On 8 September 2025, the junior and secondary schools were renamed St Andrew’s School (Junior) and St Andrew’s School (Secondary), reflecting their shared identity rather than a newly established school.
The science page describes Secondary 1 investigations of Kallang River water quality and its ecosystem, followed by Secondary 2 ecological surveys at the park connector. In the Therapeutic Garden, pupils compare heat absorption across surfaces and containers using data loggers. Upper-secondary science offerings include Biology, Chemistry, Physics and combined-science options. The subject list does not guarantee every combination to every pupil. These practical descriptions show how scientific inquiry is introduced; they do not establish competition entry for all students or measured environmental outcomes.
Yuying Secondary School
Yuying traces its beginnings to the Hainanese community in 1910, at Prinsep Street. Its Chinese history records wartime disruption and the July 1946 reopening, and says the primary section closed in 1983. The school moved to 47 Hougang Avenue 1 in December 1985 and adopted its present name; the new premises officially opened in August 1987. Its English and Chinese histories differ on when the secondary section began, so the founding year should not be read as a settled date for that section. A 2015 agreement continued its government-aided status with management-committee and alumni support.
The Applied Learning Programme combines Design Thinking with Critical Design Futures Thinking. Secondary 1 Eco-Innovators work with the Singapore Institute of Technology on problems such as canteen food waste. The Secondary 2 programme with Super Bean International, associated with Mr Bean, uses soya bean pulp to develop food products. These are named learning projects rather than a promise of an industry internship. Families can ask how much time pupils spend testing and revising a prototype, how teachers assess the process, and whether the incoming cohort will have the same partners and project brief.
