Millennia Institute

Millennia Institute (Abbreviation: MI; Chinese: 励仁高级中学; pinyin: Lìrén Gāojí Zhōngxué; Abbreviated 励仁高中; Malay: Institut Millennia) is the only Centralised Institute (CI) in Singapore.

MI was established on 3 January 2004, to conglomerate the sparsely organised three-year pre-university institutes into a single entity. The institute moved into their new Bukit Batok campus, covering an area of approximately 16 hectares and built at a cost of around S$34,800,000. MI had its official opening in May 2009 where Dr Ng Eng Hen, Minister for Education, was the guest of honour.

MI is the only centralised institute in Singapore offering a three-year curriculum leading to the Singapore Cambridge (UCLES) General Certificate of Education Advanced Level examination. Junior colleges offer a two year A level curriculum. MI is also the exclusive Pre-University institute that offers A Level Commerce subjects (Principles of Accounting and Management of Business) other than the common A Level Art and Science subjects.

MI has competed well against other JCs and academic institutes in areas such as sport and art since founding, remaining among the top 10 list in those categories since 2004, being awarded the best performing school under the MINDEF physical fitness test consecutively since 2000, while most recently, the institute clinched the prestigious Think Award from the world-acclaimed FIRST Vex Challenge World Championship held at Georgia, USA. In 2012, MI organised the annual Pre-University Seminar from 28 May to 1 June 2012 and in the process became the first organiser in 43 years since the inception of the Pre-University Seminar to innovatively create a theme song for the reputable national event involving selected students from all Pre-University Institutions in Singapore.

    Whenever any form of government shall become destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, & to institute new government, laying it’s foundation on such principles & organising it’s powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety & happiness.
