Millennia Institute (MI) (simplified Chinese: 励仁高级中学; traditional Chinese: 勵仁高級中學; pinyin: Lì rén gāojí zhōngxué) is a centralised institute in Singapore offering three-year pre-university education. Millennia Institute is the only pre-university institution to offer three pre-university streams apart from the two traditional streams of courses, namely the arts and science streams offered by similar pre-university institutions such as the Junior Colleges.
Outram Institute (OI) was the first centralised institute open in 1987, and the oldest before her annexation into MI. OI occupied the former premises of the Chung Hwa Girls' High School and led by her first school principal, Mrs Lim Han Soon. In 1991, Mrs Lam-Kan Kim Swee was appointed principal. Through the course of Outram's history, students have gained not only 'A' level & LCCI certificates, but the intangible benefits of an education in character formation and citizenship.
Jurong Institute (JI) was the third centralised institute when it was established in 1989 and was initially located at Jurong West Street 91. JI moved to 2 Toh Tuck Terrace on 18 November 1994, which was known as the Big Move. On that day, the student councillors, carrying the institute flag, set off on a symbolic relay race/run, carrying a torch to signify that the JI spirit would continue to burn at the new premises. Lion dancers, awaiting staff and students, welcomed the school to its new site and ushered them into their new campus.
On 26 July 2003, decision was announced by the Ministry of Education on the merger of Outrum Institute and Jurong Institute to conglomerate the sparsely organised three-year pre-university institutions into a single entity. This move was to allow consolidation of expertise and teaching resources of the two institutes, and provide students with more customised programmes and facilities, thereby enhancing the delivery of the three-year pre-university education programme. As a result, Millennia Institute was established on 3 January 2004.
