It is estimated that CHIJ has educated over 200,000 girls throughout the years.
About 20, 000 students, alumni and other invited guests celebrate IJ 170 years of education in Singapore at the Sports Hub on May 20.
The second-oldest girls’ school in Singapore, CHIJ has since grown to 11 schools around the island today, educating generations of women. “170 years ago, the idea of female education was revolutionary,” said Ms Vivienne Lim, chairperson of the IJ Board, in a speech. The founders saw education not just as a right, but also as a “transformational force for good”, she added.
CHIJ was declared a government-aided school in 1902, and began offering secondary education in 1909. CHIJ Secondary became autonomous in 2004.

The 40-year-old video producer said CHIJ has fostered her love for drama, arts and music. “It was really a place where I spent my most formative years and shaped me to be the person I am today.”Former RJC campus in Mount Sinai to be demolished; alumni bid farewell
