Geography, or geographia in Greek, literally means writing about the Earth. At Temasek JC, our programme aims to instill a spatial and temporal awareness that sensitizes our students to the wonderful and intriguing world around them. Through analysing the interrelations between the physical and human world, we equip students with the necessary skills to look at the world under a critical spatio-temporal lens.

The selected topics in the Singapore-Cambridge ‘A’ level Geography syllabus unite under the broad theme of ‘Sustainability’, and address many urgent concerns facing the world today, including climate change, urban development, tropical environmental management and energy security.
Through each topic, students will be immersed in learning experiences that enable them to navigate the intricacies of our complex world. In TJC, Geography is offered at the H1 (8834), H2 (9173) and H3 (9822) Level. Do watch the videos below to find out the reasons why you should study Humanities, and in particular, offer Geography!

To enrich the students’ learning experience, we organise numerous learning journeys. For instance, our JC2 students learned about islandwide urban transformations and the role of urban planning during their visit to Urban Redevelopment Authority’s (URA) Draft Master Plan 2019 Exhibition. Our students also participate in prestigious national competitions and attend talks by distinguished guest speakers in the field.
Every year, a select group of geography students take part in URA’s Challenge for the Urban & Built Environment (CUBE) competition. Students have to come up with an urban plan for a particular site allocated and present it to a panel of judges. Through the years, TJC Geography students have been winning high accolades in the competition.
