PEI HWA PRESBYTERIAN PRIMARY SCHOOL

7 PEI WAH AVENUE

Singapore 597610

Introduction

Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary School is a government-aided Special Assistance Plan (SAP) school with a rich heritage rooted in Presbyterian values. The school's vision is to nurture students to be bilingual leaders of tomorrow who are grounded in character. Its educational philosophy is guided by its motto, "Aflame for Truth," and its core values of respect, responsibility, resilience, and integrity.

As a SAP school, Pei Hwa provides an immersive environment for the learning of both English and Chinese, fostering a deep appreciation for both cultures. Its holistic curriculum is enhanced by an Applied Learning Programme (ALP) in STEM, focusing on scientific inquiry and innovation, and a Learning for Life Programme (LLP) in the arts. These programmes aim to develop well-rounded individuals with a strong moral compass and a passion for lifelong learning.

A Brief Historical Background

Founded in 1889 by preacher Joseph Koh as Road End Free School, it was renamed Pei Hwa School in 1922 and later Pei Hwa Presbyterian Primary School in 1995.
