Nanyang Junior College Review — JC in Singapore (2026)

About Nanyang Junior College

Nanyang Junior College is a co-ed junior college in Singapore, in the South zone.

It offers 32 CCAs and 21 DSA programmes.

School overview

Nanyang Junior College began with a founding committee in 1972 and construction in 1976. It was renamed from Lorong Chuan Junior College in 1977. Its first 600 students started lessons at borrowed Westlake Secondary premises in January 1978 before moving to its own campus that December. MOE records the Art Elective Programme from 1997 and Chinese Language Elective Programme from 1999, followed by campus redevelopment in 2004. These milestones explain its established arts and Chinese-language options alongside a two-year A-Level curriculum.

The current subject page requires four content subjects, including a contrasting subject, alongside General Paper, Project Work and Mother Tongue where applicable. Four H2 subjects require the relevant stream’s cut-off eligibility. Computing, Further Mathematics and Chinese Translation have diagnostic tests; Further Mathematics must accompany H2 Mathematics. H3 study depends on JC1 performance and the corresponding H2 subject. AEP accepts applicants without prior art study, but still assesses a portfolio, aptitude and interview. The published choice is broad, but students should check eligibility and university prerequisites before settling their combination.
