Nan Chiau High School is a co-educational secondary school in Singapore affiliated to Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan.[4]It is the 11th Special Assistance Plan(SAP) school in Singapore.[5][6]

History

Nan Chiau Teachers' Training School (1941 - 1947)

Nan Chiau High School is the only secondary school operated under the auspices of Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan Foundation. It was founded as Nan Chiau Teachers' Training School in 1941 by Tan Kah Kee. Its first campus was built on a plot of land donated by Lee Kong Chian, at Kim Yam Road in River Valley. In early 1942, the campus was used as the headquarters and training grounds for Dalforce, a Chinese volunteers’ army that was formed immediately before the overland attack of the Japanese army.[7]

Nan Chiau Girls High School (1947 - 1984)

In 1947 Nan Chiau Teachers' Training School was converted by Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan into Nan Chiau Girls' High School, with an ancillary primary school, with Mr Yang Zhen Li as the first Principal of the School. In 1965, Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan spent $2 million rebuilding Nan Chiau Girl's High School. During the construction, the high school section moved to temporary premises at Guillemard Road, while the primary school section remained at the original site. The new premises was declared open by Mr. Ong Pang Boon, Minister for Education, on 8 March 1969.[8]

In 1974, there were 48 secondary classes and 24 primary classes, with a total student enrolment of 2692, the most number of students in the school’s history. To cope with the increased school population, another $300 000 was spent to add on a 5th storey to the school premises.[9]

In 1978, it was initially included in the list of newly established Special Assistance Plan Schools. However, due to the concern from the MOE that having too many SAP schools would affect the quality of students admitted, the number of SAP schools were amended to nine, which excluded Nan Chiau Girl's High School.[10] In 1980 it adopted English as its language medium. Four years later, in 1984, it started to admit boys. The school was renamed to its present name, Nan Chiau High School.

Relocation and SAP (1984 - Present)

In 2000, Nan Chiau High School relocated to Sengkang New Town under an agreement with the Singapore Land Authority. The primary section separated to form Nan Chiau Primary School and relocated to 50 Anchorvale Link. That year, Nan Chiau High School was also ranked the top value-added school in the Ministry of Education's 1999 ranking of Special/Express schools in Singapore.[9] In November 2010, Nan Chiau High School was designated by MOE to become the 11th Special Assistance Plan (SAP) school from January 2012.[11][6] It attained the School Distinction Award at the 2013 MOE Work-plan Seminar.
