Founded in 1947, it currently operates under the Special Assistance Plan (SAP) for bilingualism and biculturalism with the mission to nurture bilingual and bicultural students who are highly knowledgeable in the Chinese language and culture. The school is highly regarded of its strong Chinese foundation in terms of teaching of the language and promulgation of the heritage and culture, which are not confined in the classrooms.

The institution is currently one of Singapore's leading ICT Schools, as well as the North 4 Cluster Centre of Learning for Chinese Language. It is also one of the joint organisers for the National Secondary School Chinese Creative Writing Competition.

History

Nan Chiau Teachers' Training College (1941–1947)

Nan Chiau High School was founded as Nan Chiau Teachers' Training College in 1941 by Chinese businessman, community leader and philanthropist Mr Tan Kah Kee. Its first campus was built on a plot of land along Kim Yam Road in River Valley, incorporating with mansions donated by Mr Lee Kong Chian. 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.

Nan Chiau Girls High School (1947–1984)

In 1947 Nan Chiau Teachers' Training College was converted by Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan into Nan Chiau Girls' High School, featuring a primary school section. Mr Yang Zhen Li was the first Principal of the institution, with an initial student enrolment of 900. A female hostel was also built in the 1950s. In 1965, Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan spent 2 million dollars 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.

In 1974, there were a total student enrolment of 2692, the most number of students in the school’s history, with 48 secondary classes and 24 primary classes. To cope with the increased school population, an additional 300 thousand dollars was spent to add on a 5th storey to the school building.

In 1978, it was initially included in the list of newly established Special Assistance Plan Schools. However, with the concern from the Ministry of Education 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. In 1980 it adopted English as its language medium. As student population declined, the school went co-educational in 1984 with the enrolment of male students, and was renamed "Nan Chiau High School"

In the 1990s, declining student population became more significant and the institution was on the verge of permanent closure. 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.

Designation of SAP Status (2001 – Present)

In November 2010, Nan Chiau High School was designated by the Ministry of Education to become the 11th Special Assistance Plan (SAP) school from January 2012. The news was announced by then minister of education Dr Ng Eng Hen at the Hokkien Festival 2010. The news was welcomed by thousands of school alumni and educators, who felt pleased that the school can finally fulfill its mission of preserving the Chinese heritage and culture.

On 29 December 2013, a home-coming event was held at the former Nan Chiau High School campus at 46 Kim Yam Road, which thousands of alumni, former and present principals, teachers and staff of the institution gathered at the former school hall in a brunch buffet setting. The event was held before the official relaunch of the site of the former campus as a commercial development of offices, schools and F&B establishments.

In March 2015, Nan Chiau High School celebrated its 68th School Anniversary. Themed “Appreciating our Past, Inspiring the Future”, the event was graced by Guest-of-Honour, Minister for Defence, Dr Ng Eng Hen, which saw the school and the community coming together to mark the occasion with a celebration of SG50, the outstanding achievements of the students, as well as the completion of the school’s upgrading works which costed a total of 2.67 million dollars.

Nan Chiau High School’s current campus covers 7.2 acres of land off Sengkang East Avenue, constructed under the School Management Model granted by the Ministry of Education in 2000. The campus was officially declared open by then Minister for Education and Second Minister for Defence Mr. Teo Chee Hean in October 2002. The five-storey building cluster consists of an Administrative Block, a Science & Research Block, an Aesthetics block, and three classroom blocks.

The Kong Chian Hall (main hall of Nan Chiau High School) was named after the school’s co-founder, Mr Lee Kong Chian. The air-conditioned hall is the common venue for weekly assemblies and dialogue sessions, as well as hosting competitions and symposiums such as the National Secondary School Chinese Creative Writing Competition and the NYP-YTSS-NCHS Science Research Symposium.

The 300-seat Auditorium, housed at the fourth level of the Aesthetics Block, was converted from an Air Rifle Shooting Range under the two-year school upgrading project in 2012 funded by the SMC and Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan. The auditorium provides a venue for performances apart from the main hall, as well as conducting sharing talks and academic lectures.

The revamped Library, opened in 2013, features dedicated study areas, a small platform to hold forums and press conferences, as well as three discussion rooms available for student-teacher consultations, projects and group studies. As a North 4 Cluster Centre of Learning for Chinese Language, Nan Chiau High School also features 2 language labs catering for enhanced Chinese programmes and activities. The labs are currently used to host the Young Writer’s Programme for students of six schools in the North 4 Cluster, as well as the school’s Chinese calligraphy society.

School Culture

School Motto

The school motto "诚毅" inscribed on a stone tablet in Nan Chiau High's Front Garden

Nan Chiau High School's motto, Sincerity & Perseverance (诚、毅), is set after the philosophy of its founder, Mr Tan Kah Kee. The motto is also shared by all Hokkien Huay Kuan schools, as well as several institutions in mainland China with the same founder, such as Xiamen Jimei Middle School of Fujian, Jimei University & Xiamen University.

• "Sincerity" or 诚, which is described as being honest to self and others, is concerned with the individual's moral and social traits.
• "Perseverance" or 毅, described as determination and tenacity in the pursuit of personal growth and academic success, is concerned with the individual's physical and cognitive development as well as his attitude in the face of challenges.

School Crest

The school crest of Nan Chiau High School is represented by three interlocking rings, which symbolizes its students' moral, physical and intellectual development.

The red colour of the rings depicts a persevering spirit in the pursuit of a bright and promising future, as represented by the golden background.

The heart shape in the centre of the overlapping rings symbolizes care and concern for the total welfare of the pupils in a student-oriented system.

School Anthem

Nan Chiau High School keeps its original school anthem in Mandarin. The anthem was written by Ms Lin Zhen Ru, and moderated by Professor Zhao Xingdao (Mr.) in the early 1950s. The same anthem is shared with Nan Chiau Primary School, which was formerly its ancillary primary school before 2001.

Attire and Appearance

Nan Chiau High School's uniform is closely linked to its heritage as a former traditional Chinese school. Originally, the school uniform was in full white with the Chinese name of the school sewed on the right chest level of the blouse, much similar to other institutions with Chinese heritage. Nearing the 1990s, the school uniform was switched to be worn with dark coloured school pants or pinafore, with dark coloured school tag was sewed on the left side of the shirt. The uniform was redesigned to suit the school's identity along with the relocation of the campus in 2000.

Currently, male students wear white studded shirts with Traditional Chinese characters of the school name on it in red. Navy blue shorts are worn in secondary 1 & 2, and long pants for upper secondary levels. Female students wear white blouses bearing the Traditional Chinese characters of the school name on it in red, with navy blue pleated skirts. During Assemblies and important functions, every student will wear a red-coloured school tie.

School Discipline

Nan Chiau High School is known for its strict regulations and discipline, with minimal tolerance to misbehaviour of its students. Nevertheless, some recalled the incident in 2004 when the principal stepped down after admitting an overly harsh disciplinary action, despite the backing of many alumni and parents stressing that the disciplinary action taken on the student is justified.

SAP Flagship Programme (Cultural Intelligence)

The SAP Flagship Programme forms a major part of Nan Chiau High’s niche curriculum as a SAP school. It is designed with the theoretical underpinning of Howard Gardner’s “Five Minds for the Future” (Disciplined Mind, Synthesizing Mind, Ethical Mind, Creating Mind, Respectful Mind), with an additional unique sixth mind, the ‘Bicultural Mind’.

The flagship programme develops students’ interests in learning about the eastern and the western cultures by providing them with opportunities to integrate both cultures and to be immersed in other cultures, and to have in-depth understanding of the essence of both the east and the west, thus preparing students to become inclusive talents who are effectively bilingual and able to make strong and meaningful connections with the world. The four-year flagship programme is mainly made up of two segments, namely ‘Broad-Base Curriculum’ and ‘Peaks of Excellence’, which include cultural intelligence and life education to groom students to be world-ready. The ‘Broad-Base Curriculum’ spans over the first year of the students’ admission, with the introduction to the Chinese culture and history, the history of Chinese immigrants and understanding diversity of local cultures. This is inculcated through various platforms such as cultural intelligence forums, bicultural camps, Chinese lyrics competitions, as well as local and regional learning journeys.

The ‘Peaks of Excellence’ curriculum is continuous with the ‘Broad-Base Curriculum’, with more elaborate programmes that cater to students’ talent development. For instance, the Young Writers Programme, which is open to students who are interested in writing, has lessons conducted by various renowned Chinese language essayists in the region to expose and familiarise students to different forms of writing, and encourage them to appreciate different forms of written work. Students also have opportunities to attend cultural symposiums, national and international bicultural forums, research on contemporary issues, and embark on refined overseas immersions to strengthen their world and cultural views under the Global Classroom Programme.

Life Education Programme

Apart from development of cultural intelligence, life skills are also incorporated into the curriculum to prepare students for the future, by assisting students in the acquisition of various life skills that will be useful as they become part of the 21st century workforce. The Learning for Life Programme (LLP) provides a unique cognitive-aesthetic domain of learning through Drama-in-Education, Public Speaking, Debate, Puppetry and Creative Lyrical Composition. The Programme encourages students’ self-expression, nurtures their aesthetics appreciation and allows them to learn to embrace cultural diversity.

In the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Applied Learning Programme (STEM ALP), students explore using Arduino Micro-controller in health Science and technology. Students also learn Science research skills to deepen their proficiency in Sciences.

Enhanced Art Programme (EAP)

Since 2013, Nan Chiau High School is a certified education centre for the Enhanced Art Programme (EAP) for students who have keen interest in pursuing arts and design. Introduced in 2011 by the Ministry of Education, the two-year programme provide an enriched learning environment for Secondary 3 and 4 students who are inclined towards Art, as a complementary to the Art Elective Programme (AEP). Enrichment programmes such as the Aesthetics Week, Student-Initiated Project in Art and Lower Secondary Integrated Art Modules are also integrated for deepened understanding and application opportunities for the art students.

Exchange Programmes (Global Classroom Programme)
