Methodist Girls' School, independent school in Singapore
Methodist Girls' School is a private primary and secondary school on Holland Road in Singapore that educates girls from early childhood through their teenage years. The school has classrooms, sports fields, and facilities for various activities including music, arts, and athletics.
The school was founded in the late 19th century by Australian missionary Sophia Blackmore to give girls educational opportunities when few existed for them. It started with just nine students in a small shophouse and expanded over time, eventually establishing itself on Holland Road.
The school is named after Sophia Blackmore, the Australian missionary who founded it. Students wear a uniform designed like a sailor suit that has remained unchanged since the 1920s, creating a visible sense of belonging to the school community.
The school is located on Holland Road in a well-maintained setting with clean buildings and open grounds. Visitors should check the website beforehand for visiting hours and conditions, as the school regularly offers campus tours and open days for prospective families.
The school is closely connected with the Anglo-Chinese School and allows students to pursue the International Baccalaureate diploma, a globally recognized qualification. Many graduates have become musicians, judges, or athletes, demonstrating the wide range of talents developed here.
