Anderson Serangoon Junior College (ASRJC) is a junior college located in Yio Chu Kang, Singapore, offering two-year pre-university courses leading to the Singapore-Cambridge GCE Advanced Level examinations. Anderson Serangoon Junior College has been affirmed as one of the leading junior colleges in Singapore for value-added academic performances.
Anderson Serangoon Junior College was formed after the merger of Anderson Junior College(AJC) and Serangoon Junior College(SRJC) and received its first batch of students in 2019. The mergers are based on geographical proximity so as to maintain a good spread of schools across the country, MOE said, adding that the sites for the merged schools were chosen based on accessibility to transport and quality of infrastructure.
On 20 April 2017, it was announced that Anderson Junior College would merge with Serangoon Junior College, with the merged school located at the current site of Anderson Junior College. The merged school was named as Anderson Serangoon Junior College, which is a combination of the two schools' names, from 2019.
The college crest derives its inspiration from the common ‘flame’ element in Anderson and Serangoon Junior Colleges’ crests and a flower bud that is ready to bloom. The flame design is formed by the college initials ‘ASR’. The continued use of the flame element represents both colleges’ history and heritage.
The flame also symbolises truth, light and hope, which captures the college's intent to develop justice-oriented and service-oriented students who are enlightened and in service of others.
The flower bud symbolises youth and vitality and signifies the college as a place that nurtures leaders for the nation. With each petal of the flower embodying the college colours, this reinforces the way in which the college seeks to nurture students who are adventurous in thinking and boundless in imagination while remaining grounded and empathetic citizens of the nation.
