Prior to becoming the elementary campus for CIS Singapore, the Toh Tuck road campus was once the campus of Toh Tuch Primary School (篤德小學). Due to lack of student admission, Toh Tuch Primary School folded after the 1987 academic year. Most students at the time were transferred to the nearby Bukit Batok Primary School.
