Nan Hua Primary School

History & background

Address:

30 Jln Lempeng, Singapore 128806

Nan Hua Primary School was established in 1917, originally named Nan Hwa Girls' School —it was founded by Mr. Chua Seng Seng and other like-minded philanthropists to provide education to the Chinese community, particularly for girls who had limited access to education at the time.

The school has undergone several transformations and relocations throughout its history, adapting to the changing educational landscape in Singapore.

In 1984, Nan Hua Primary School moved to its current premises in Clementi to better accommodate its growing student population and to provide modern facilities that enhance learning experiences.

The school’s legacy of excellence continues to thrive, with a strong focus on academic achievement, character development, and cultural heritage.

Balloting updates

Nan Hua Primary School

Nan Hua Primary is one of the most competitive primary schools to enter.

If you are hoping to register for Phase 2C, it's rather risky to relocate home for a 25% chance. I would suggest to think carefully and consider other primary schools.
