Ninth Grade Learning Communities: What's Next?
For a teen, perhaps one of the most nerve-wracking academic transitions is the one between middle school and high school. A new space on campus that you have to acclimate to; maybe new peers; new teachers; new classes; and for many, a change in pace. As we continue to focus on building a rich learning experience for our ninth grade classes, we are purposefully and intentionally engaging in a rich exchange of thoughts and ideas as they co-create the ninth grade learning community for the 2023-24 school year.
Making of the APEx
What went into making the APEx a hub for wellness and health in the high school? Our students share their journey of collaboration to co-create one of the newest places on campus!

High School Library
The Khoo Teck Puat High School Library has now reopened, and the top floor brings a different, livelier vibe as a hub for collaboration and innovation for our community, while the bottom floor offers quiet nooks and reading areas to work on projects, deep dive into our archives, or make use of the variety of resources the library has to offer.
Dining
Located at the center of the school’s athletic and sports spaces, and overlooking the 50-meter and 25-meter swimming pools, The Eagle's Perch, our new high school dining facility, will be purpose-built to welcome one and all! Envisioned as a comfortable community space, The Eagle's Perch will offer a variety of dining and food options. With a 300-seat capacity, The Perch will be a hub of activity for our high school community.
Athletics
A new 50-meter, Olympic-sized pool will become the focal point of our growing aquatics program! An expanded APEx gym will provide additional opportunities for fitness and wellness for our students. A new movement studio will act as a flexible space for dining and will support expanded fitness and movement programs for community wellness.
STEM, Robotics, and Creativity
At the heart of the high school, our new atrium will support our students’ involvement in the STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and math). The atrium will link our Catalyst, robotics, and engineering spaces with the Center of Innovation, providing a community space for creative minds. Significant upgrades to our art and digital media spaces, along with new spaces with indoor-outdoor links, aim to offer spatial and experiential opportunities aligning with the curriculum.
Community Spaces
The design principles for our high school spaces focus on personalization, instructional needs, physical and mental well-being, scalability, and an overall sense of community. Some of the newer spaces around our Center of Innovation will include a coffee house, as well as shophouse-themed options built to offer our students a greater sense of connectedness.
