Vision

Thinkers, Innovators and Leaders who make a difference for the greater good

Mission

Developing and Inspiring in all Andersonians a sense of purpose, and constancy to reach their full potential for self and nation.

Philosophy

As a mainstream autonomous secondary school offering both the GCE 'O' and 'N' Level tracks, we provide a stimulating and vibrant environment that nurtures the whole child. By creating a quality difference in our students' development and experiences in Anderson, our students develop an inquiring and innovative mind, strong moral grounding, cultural awareness and self-efficacy to succeed in the 21st century. This distinctive Anderson brand of quality education produces achievers with high integrity and robust character who are passionate about life, inspiring and of service to others. A 'Culture of Care and Excellence' pervades our school - we build pride in everyone through recognising success and inspiring excellence; we nurture a strong sense of belonging amongst our people through forging bonds and building community; we imbue in all our students the ANDE Values through our 3-prong approach of 'Educating the Head', 'Encouraging the Heart' and 'Empowering the Hands'. All these are made possible with our dedicated team of teachers who are highly competent, collaborative and nurturing, and supported by a strong alumni
and supportive parents.

With the aim to nurture Andersonians to be intellectually curious, innovative, creative and culturally versatile leaders, the school takes pride in its niche and signature programmes that provide the platforms to imbue these qualities and facilitate diverse learning experiences. We have established a comprehensive Science Research Programme that provides opportunities for students to pursue their interests, develop their competencies and hone their talents in this area. The Basic Coding Enrichment Programme aims to inculcate computational skills in students, to set them up for a lifetime of opportunities. The Drama Programme seeks to develop students into confident communicators and reflective thinkers who are able to challenge common perceptions and stereotypical perspectives. The Malay Elective Programme in Malay Language for Secondary Schools (EMAS) provides opportunities for students to develop a deeper appreciation of the Malay Language and culture. At the same time, the Service and Student Leadership Programme integrates leadership development with community outreach and action, so that students imbibe the qualities and attitudes of a servant leader. We hope to nurture citizens who are socially aware, informed about local and international issues, and able and ready to make a difference to the community and people around them. All in all, there is a strong focus on
experiential learning in our academic and non-academic curriculum as we seek to actively engage our students in constructing, integrating and deepening their learning experiences.
