School buildings hold a special place in our memories, each echoing with laughter, friendships, and lessons learned.

Since the inception of Raffles College in 1820, these historic institutions have played a vital role in Singapore's development. As our city grew, many of these schools found themselves relocated to make way for progress. Yet, amidst the ever-changing skyline, remnants of our educational past stand tall, protected and repurposed to tell their stories.

Join us for a leisurely stroll through the corridors of time, as we unveil the secrets and tales of these venerable buildings. From colonial-era architecture to modern adaptations, each edifice holds a narrative of growth, learning, and community. Let us share with you the rich history and enduring spirit of these revered landmarks that have shaped the minds and hearts of generations of Singaporeans.
