Nanyang Primary School was founded in 1917 by a group of prominent Chinese leaders who were committed to providing quality education to the Chinese community in Singapore. Originally established as a girls’ school, it later became co-educational and has grown significantly over the decades.
The school moved to its current location on Coronation Road in 1985, providing modern facilities to better serve its expanding student population. Throughout its history, Nanyang Primary School has remained dedicated to nurturing well-rounded individuals who excel academically and contribute positively to society.

Ballot for Singapore Citizen living within 1km
Many may be surprised to see Nanyang Primary has a relatively decent success rate in Phase 2C. This is likely due to the less population density in the area with surrounding landed enclaves. There are many condominiums in the vicinity, however we like one that isn't the newest but one of the best development in the area.
