Anderson Junior College (AJC) is a junior college established in 1984 and located in Yio Chu Kang, Singapore, offering two-year pre-university courses leading to the Singapore-Cambridge GCE Advanced Level examinations. Anderson Junior College has been affirmed as one of the leading junior colleges in Singapore for value-added academic performances.
Anderson Junior College was the 11th junior college to be established in Singapore and received its first batch of students in 1984. It celebrates its anniversary on the 5th of April each year. The Anderson Junior College Hostel was planned and construction commenced in 2009. The hostel was opened in 2012.
Presently, AJC has more than 160 teaching staff, including 10 Heads of Department, and approximately 20 non-teaching staff. Courses operate over a two-year period.
On 20 April 2017, it was announced that AJC would merge with Serangoon Junior College, with the merged school located at the current site of AJC. This was in view of the declining cohort sizes since 2014, which was attributed to the fall in Singapore's birth rate.
The college crest is formed from the initials of the College. The letter A, in the form of a yellow flame, symbolises the vitality and youthful aspirations of the students. The dark blue letters, J and C, supporting the flame, symbolise college support for the individual in his efforts to realise his ambition. The four circles at the base depict racial harmony, highlighting the college motto.
The crest was designed by Mr. Heng Eng Hwa in 1984.
