NUS High School of Mathematics and Science - School Logo

School Logo

The logo is made up of a test tube, symbolising science, combined with the symbol for the number "pi", symbolising mathematics. A third element, the "sparkle", shows the dynamism of bringing the two disciplines together and the creativity that is to be found within the school. It is also representative of the six-faceted learning model that the school adopts.

The green colour symbolises growth and a nurturing environment, whilst the grey colour symbolises the solid base upon which the institution is built.

This logo has been criticised by its students for its strong bias against theoretical methods, as it represents all of science using a test tube, which may be a representative only of experimental Chemistry and Biology. This test tube can also be interpreted of a bias against Physics in the school.
