The Guide To Know About Temasek Junior College 

Temasek Junior College Secondary was founded in 1976 as Singapore’s second government junior college, and its first class of students enrolled in 1977. The name “Temasek” is a throwback to Singapore’s original moniker, which translates to “sea town” in English. Temasek Junior College was one of the first pre-university institutions to provide a variant of the Ministry of Education’s Humanities Scholarship Programme (HSP) in 1982. Temasek Junior College Secondary launched Temasek Academy, a four-year integrated program, in 2005. Due to Covid-19, however, this was postponed twice to 2023 and then to 2024. The project would take four years to complete, with the new campus opening in 2028 at the old Bedok South location.
