Pei Chun Public School was founded in 1933 by a group of philanthropists from the Hainanese community in Singapore. Their vision was to provide quality education to children, with a strong emphasis on Chinese language and cultural values. The school started with humble beginnings but quickly grew in reputation due to its commitment to academic excellence and character development.
Over the years, Pei Chun has undergone several transformations and upgrades to keep pace with educational advancements. The school moved to its current location on Lorong 6 Toa Payoh in 1980, offering modern facilities to enhance the learning experience. Today, Pei Chun Public School continues to uphold its founding values while embracing innovative educational practices to prepare students for the future.
