Anderson Serangoon Junior College (ASRJC) is a junior college temporarily located in Hougang, Singapore, offering a two-year pre-university course leading to the Singapore-Cambridge GCE Advanced Level examinations. ASRJC was formed after the merger of Anderson Junior College (AJC) and Serangoon Junior College (SRJC) in 2019.
ASRJC houses the Elementz Laboratory, the MOE North Zone Centre of Excellence for Science, and Makers Lab. The college hosts the annual Elementz International Science Research Conference and Exhibition, an event that accords recognition to students from secondary school (upper secondary levels) and Junior Colleges who have conducted scientific research to showcase their findings. [2]
On 20 April 2017, it was announced that AJC would merge with SRJC, with the merged school located at the current site of AJC. [3] According to the Ministry of Education (MOE), the choice of schools to be merged are based on geographical proximity so as to maintain a good spread of schools across the country, adding that the sites for the merged schools were chosen based on accessibility to transport and quality of infrastructure.
The merged school was named as Anderson Serangoon Junior College, which is a combination of the two schools' names, from 2019. Mr Manogaran Suppiah, who had been SRJC's principal from 2015 to 2018, became the founding principal of ASRJC. [4] The merged school received its first batch of students in 2019.
The Anderson Junior College Hostel was planned and construction commenced in 2009. The hostel was opened in 2012, [5] but has been permanently closed since 2019 as MOE announced that demand for boarding places continue to fall and there are fewer international students in schools in Singapore. [6]
Education Minister Ong Ye Kung announced in March 2019 that ASRJC will be rebuilt at the site of former AJC campus at Yio Chu Kang. While the rebuild is underway, the college will temporarily reoccupy the campus of former SRJC. [7] The move was initially scheduled to take place in 2022, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Singapore, it was delayed twice, to 2023 and finally 2024.

The college anthem is titled Discere Servire – Non Mihi Solum, similar to the college motto. It was personally penned by ASRJC's first principal, Mr Manogaran Suppiah. [9]
