History
MJC was founded in 2003 after RAdm Teo Chee Hean, the then Education Minister, suggested building a new junior college in Pasir Ris. The college is led by Ms Esther Lai Choon Lian, the first and current principal.
Between 2003 and 2004, the College Anthem as well as the official school logo were released.
In 2005, the college hosted its official opening ceremony on 25 February, graced by RAdm Teo Chee Hean, and observed its first ever College Day on the 23rd of July. The college's pioneer batch of graduating students were featured in the media for exceeding expectations with excellent results, and the college clinched a Value Added Award.
Since then, the school has built up its reputation as being a dynamic and vibrant learning institution, with vast improvements in academic results on a yearly basis as well as excellence in sports and the performing arts.
