Eunoia Junior College

Eunoia Junior College (EJC) is a junior college in Singapore which offers Integrated Programme (IP) with Catholic High School, Singapore Chinese Girls' School and CHIJ Saint Nicholas Girls' School. It is located in Bishan, close to Bright Hill MRT station and Bishan MRT station.

History
Plans for Eunoia Junior College were first announced on 1 September 2010 as part of an expansion of the Integrated Programme (IP) to seven more schools. The new Junior College was targeted to be set up by 2017, serving IP students from three schools as there was no model for such a Junior College at that time.

Eunoia Junior College was established alongside the Catholic High School – CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls' School – Singapore Chinese Girls' School Joint Integrated Programme (JIP), which accepted the first cohort of IP Year One students in January 2013. The name of the junior college was announced on 29 December 2015 by Acting Minister of Education (Schools), Ng Chee Meng, in an MOE ceremony at Shangri-La Hotel to appoint and appreciate the country's principals.

Eunoia Junior College welcomed its pioneer batch of students in 2017 and held its inaugural assembly on 20 February that year.

From 2017 to 2019, the college was located at an interim campus at 53 Mount Sinai Road, formerly the site of Raffles Junior College. It was announced that the college's permanent campus located off the junction of Sin Ming Avenue and Marymount Road will be ready in late 2019, owing to the delay in the construction of the Cross Island line.

The college moved to its Bishan campus on 6 January 2020, located at Sin Ming Place, starting with a 14km relay from Mount Sinai to Bishan. The new site is integrated with the future Marymount Community Club and is Singapore's first high-rise Junior College.
