SINGAPORE - St Joseph’s Institution (SJI) International is planning to move to a new campus in Hougang in 2030, after about two decades at Thomson Road.

The school told The Straits Times on June 2 that it is “working closely with the relevant authorities” to relocate to 1033 Upper Serangoon Road.

It had earlier on Jan 23 sent out a letter to parents to update them about the planned relocation. The school opened its doors in 2007 at its current site at 490 Thomson Road.

The Hougang site is currently being occupied by Anderson Serangoon Junior College, which moved to the site temporarily in December 2023.

According to the Education Ministry’s website, the junior college will leave Hougang in December 2027 to move back to its permanent location in Ang Mo Kio, which is undergoing upgrading works.

In response to queries from The Straits Times, an Urban Redevelopment Authority spokesperson said SJI International’s tenancy at its Thomson site expires in early 2030.

The site has been zoned for residential purposes since the agency’s 2014 iteration of its master plan, a blueprint for land use in Singapore.

The spokesperson added that the type of residential housing planned for the site is still being studied.

In the letter to parents, SJI International said it intends to engage their parent community on the relocation.

The letter said the first engagement session was planned for early March 2026.

When asked about further details of its relocation, the school said as the plan is still “subject to final approvals”, and it will confirm and announce the details later.
