Innova Junior College (IJC) is a government co-educational junior college located in Woodlands, Singapore, offering two-year pre-university courses leading to the Singapore-Cambridge GCE Advanced Level examination.
Innova Junior College received the first cohort of students to its new campus in January 2005. The college was officially declared open by Dr Mohamad Maliki Bin Osman, Parliamentary Secretary, Ministry of National Development and Member of Parliament for Sembawang GRC on 2 February 2007. The mission of the college then was "to nurture leaders and advocates with the passion to serve with honour and humility."
An alumni association was officially formed as a registered society in 2015.
The House System at Innova Junior College aims to promote espirit de corps, leadership and responsibility among students. There are four houses, each representing a constellation. The first letter of the name of each house forms the acronym "STAR", a key symbol in the college badge.
The four houses are
Students represent their houses in academic, sporting and cultural activities and earn House Points. An Overall Challenge Trophy is awarded to the House with the most points annually.
From 2015, the allocation of Year 1 students to houses was changed to a class-based system from the previous system of having students across different houses in each class. Each House is led by a House Captain, a Year 2 student, who leads the respective House Committee.
The college anthem of IJC is entitled, Ad Astra, meaning "to the stars". It was written by Singapore composer Dick Lee as pro bono service in 2005. Lyrics were written by a teacher at Innova Junior College, Mdm Chitrakala Arumugam, in 2006.
