- Education and Review
Formerly the Ngee Ann-Adelaide Education Centre (which was established in 1998), the Ngee Ann Academy is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ngee Ann Education Holdings, which is in turn a full-fledged subsidiary of The Ngee Ann Kongsi. Ngee Ann Academy continues to serve their stakeholders with the same commitment, quality and passion that they have had for the past 20 over years. They aim to be an exceptional institution for developing well-rounded individuals who are committed to making positive contributions to the society. Ngee Ann Academy seeks to provide quality education by bringing in interesting and relevant programmes. Teacher to student ratios fall at 1:50 for tutorials and workshops, 1:100 for lectures and 1:20 for clinical skills laboratory sessions. As their students have recently started school (the inaugural intake of students first began classes in July 2018) or are waiting for school to start, we can’t provide much information just yet, but we’re looking forward to future updates!

Ngee Ann Academy is currently located within Ngee Ann City at Tower A, until renovations to their campus at the Teochew Building are complete. The interim campus’s facilities comprises of 4 classrooms with various seating capacities, a library, as well as a lounge.
