Our History
Singapore Chinese Girls’ School (SCGS) was founded in 1899 by Straits-born Chinese gentlemen who believed in offering girls an education that could match their male counterparts.
Today, the School continues to educate and empower girls with the knowledge, attitudes and skills to be world-ready women leaders with 21st century competencies.
The SCGS education philosophy is committed to providing a holistic education based on a bedrock of timeless values and rich heritage. We are committed to building an environment that fosters individual excellence and achievement based on every student’s personal characteristics, needs, interests and aptitude.
Our Programmes
SCGS has been offering the Integrated Programme (IP) since 2013 as well as the Singapore-Cambridge Secondary Education Certificate (SEC, also formerly known as GCE O-Level) Programme.
Our 6-year IP leads to the GCE A-Level Certificate offered at Eunoia Junior College. The IP moulds Principled Leaders of Tomorrow through multiple platforms that provide inter-disciplinary depth and perspectives in the academic and non-academic curriculum. We have also consistently enabled our students to develop holistically and achieve their learning goals over the years, culminating in the GCE O-Level Examinations.
You can find out more about our IP and SEC programmes here: https://scgs.moe.edu.sg/scgs-education/overview/.
Admission into SCGS via Direct School Admission (DSA)
The DSA Exercise allows students to seek admission to SCGS based on a range of talents and potential.
Competition is strong and students entering through DSA are expected to be proactive and sustain their interest to develop their talents through the opportunities offered. There is no priority through affiliation. Shortlisted students are assessed based on the talent and potential exhibited by all applicants.
