San Yu Adventist School

Welcome to San Yu Adventist School (SYAS)!If you step into SYAS today, you will find lovable, diligent, well-behaved, motivated and even some mischievous students, who nevertheless are all eager to experience success. An experienced team of competent, caring and committed Christian staff, together with a well-maintained, safe and secure environment conducive to study, enables the implementation of a “Whole Person” approach to developing students’ body, mind and spirit (灵, 智, 体). In addition, our dynamic chaplaincy provides pastoral care & counseling services to students and runs a strong spiritual programme.

Today, San Yu Adventist School is a part of the Seventh Day Adventist network of more than 8000 schools, colleges and universities found in over 100 countries. It is accredited by the Adventist Accrediting Association (AAA), USA.

SYAS offers both primary and secondary education, leading to the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) and the Singapore-Cambridge General Certificate of Education Ordinary Level (GCE O-Level) Examinations. Most of our courses are largely based on the Singapore Ministry of Education’s syllabus (MOE); Our Secondary classes follow the Express-stream syllabus.

Our core of qualified, committed and caring Christian staff, chaplains, board members and stakeholders share the same objective, working towards excellence and goodness for students, parents and community.

Vision
To be a nurturing, premier Christian school developing a holistic person now and for the kingdom of God.

Mission
To provide caring, quality Christian education.

As a Ministry of Education (MOE) registered private education institution. SYAS offers a curriculum largely based on the MOE’s Primary and Secondary syllabus via an integrated pedagogy. In addition to the academic, students will be enriched by a dynamic curriculum that includes, but is not limited to, spiritual enrichment, the philosophy of sports and social decorum. This is guided by our long-standing philosophical belief: Sanyu (三育) or “Three Education” of Mind, Body and Soul.

Mind

• We believe every child is capable of learning
• We expect students and staff to put forth their best effort in every endeavour
• We hope to impart the love for lifelong learning

Body

• We believe a healthy body is necessary for learning
• We expect students and staff to be equally concerned about their health as they are academic results
• We hope to cultivate healthy living habits among our students and staff

Soul

• We believe that the Bible is inspired by God and given to us as a moral compass for our lives
• We expect that all our teachings are in line with the Word of God
• We hope all students and staff will reflect on the school’s seven core values in their lives
