Meridian Junior College (MJC) is a junior college in Singapore, offering two-year pre-university courses leading up to the Singapore-Cambridge GCE Advanced Level examination. Situated in the eastern residential estate of Pasir Ris, it is the sixteenth junior college established in Singapore. Students are referred to as Meridians.
Meridian Junior College was established in 2003 after RAdm Teo Chee Hean, the then Education Minister, suggested building a new junior college in Pasir Ris. Its first principal was Ms Esther Lai Choon Lian.
In 2005, the college hosted its official opening ceremony on 25 February, graced by RAdm Teo Chee Hean, and observed its first ever College Day on the 23rd of July.
Under the leadership of Ms Esther Lai, the college became a single-pointer JC (based on L1R5 admission) in less than a decade.
On 20 April 2017, it was announced that MJC would merge with Tampines Junior College, with the merged school located at the current site of MJC. This was in view of the declining cohort sizes since 2014, which was attributed to the fall in Singapore's birth rate.
In 2016, Meridian Junior College won the 'A' divisions for the 3rd year running, their seventh title in the last 10 years. Royston Tan scored in the 7th minute, which later proved to be the winning goal against Victoria Junior College. En route to the final, they beat Raffles Institution 6-1 in the semi-finals.
