Hillgrove Secondary School (HG)[1] is a co-educational government secondary school in Bukit Batok, Singapore.

Founded in 2000, the integrated government school offers secondary education under three academic streams, which lead to the Singapore-Cambridge GCE Ordinary Level or the Singapore-Cambridge GCE Normal Level examinations.

History[]

Hillgrove was founded in 2000 but started operating on the premises of Yusof Ishak Secondary School. Due to this temporary arrangement, Hillgrove was the only secondary school that functioned in the afternoon session in Singapore between 2001 and 2002.[2]

Hillgrove actively improved its curriculum in the past decade, including introducing aerospace and space engineering into the school curriculum. In 2016, a group of students from Hillgrove was selected to conduct experiments in a space-stimulated environment at Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, under the Try Zero-G for Asia academic programme. It is the first time a Singapore proposal has been selected for the programme, which began in 2011.[3]
