Temasek Junior College (TJC) (simplified Chinese: 淡马锡初级学院; traditional Chinese: 淡馬錫初級學院; pinyin: Dànmǎxī chūjí xuéyuàn) is a junior college located in Bedok, Singapore. The college admits students for the six-year Integrated Programme and the two-year pre-university course, both culminating in the Singapore-Cambridge GCE Advanced Level national examination.
Temasek Junior College was established in 1976 as the second government junior college in Singapore, with the intake of its pioneer batch of students the following year. The College was the second to bear the reference to the nation, after National Junior College. The name “Temasek”, a reference Singapore which meant “a maritime island”, was adopted to honour the resilience, fortitude and courage of the nation's forefathers.
In 1982, Temasek Junior College became one of the pre-university centres to offer its variation of the Humanities Scholarship Programme (HSP), coordinated by the Ministry of Education.
In 2005, Temasek Junior College launched its four-year Integrated Programme, Temasek Academy. Singapore and International students are admitted at secondary three level, and bypasses the Singapore-Cambridge GCE Ordinary Level examination. The programme had its first intake of 121 students in 2005. Students would sit for the Singapore-Cambridge GCE Advanced Level examination at the end of the four years, and are only required to undetake the Singapore-Cambridge GCE Ordinary Level Higher Mother Tongue examination at the end of the second year.
