Established in 1975, Catholic Junior College wasn’t just another school. It was a vision brought to life by the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Singapore, Michel Olçomendy. He aimed to centralize pre-university education for Catholic schools, a key step in Singapore’s adoption of the junior college system. Catholic Junior College holds the distinction of being the first government-aided junior college in Singapore. Right here, where we stand, countless students have walked the halls, pursuing their dreams. The college offers a rigorous two-year pre-university course, culminating in the GCE Advanced Level examinations. Catholic Junior College is deeply connected to its Catholic roots. It’s affiliated with all Catholic secondary schools in Singapore. This provides a unique pathway for students seeking to continue their education within the Catholic system. Over the years, Catholic Junior College has nurtured remarkable individuals who have gone on to make significant contributions to Singaporean society. Alumni include prominent figures in government like Jessica Tan and Cynthia Phua, former Members of Parliament.
