avondale grammar school

Our New Location

We are pleased to announce some exciting news about the future position of Avondale Grammar School. The school has recently secured a new site at 318 Phoenix Park on Tanglin Road (District 9). Phoenix Park is a prime location in Singapore and we believe the new location will be more convenient for expatriate families and is an improvement on our current site at Toa Payoh.

Avondale Grammar School will begin the 2010 school year at Phoenix Park. Tours of the new site will be offered towards the end of the year, when the renovations of the site are close to completion.

Unfortunately, we have been unable to extend the lease at our Toa Payoh campus. The reason for the move is due to road works starting at Toa Payoh Rise with the plan for a circle line to be put in place for the new MRT running through our current campus. The MRT is sad news for Avondale, as Toa Payoh has been an excellent first site for the children in our school.

Our focus now, is to ensure that the move to Phoenix Park is a positive transition for the current children at Avondale and we are confident that the move will contribute to the growth of the school.
