[edit] History
AHS was founded in 1956 by the Chinese-speaking congregations of the Anglican Churches in Singapore. It was the only Anglican school which had Chinese as its medium of instruction. All other schools of the Anglican church were English schools.
When AHS formally opened in January 1956, it had a Principal, three Chinese teachers, three English teachers, and 123 male students. Lessons were conducted in several classrooms at St Andrew's Secondary School.
It acquired the present Upper Changi Road site and erected the first school buildings in 1960 which comprised of 16 classrooms, 3 science laboratories, an administration-cum-staff room, an assembly hall and a symbolic clock-tower.
