Which Schools Are Near Terra Hill?

The Short Answer for Terra Hill Families

The district around Terra Hill is one of Singapore’s richest in schools and campuses. The National University of Singapore is two stops away on the Circle Line, and the developer’s location map marks NUS High School of Mathematics and Science, Anglo-Chinese Junior College, Anglo-Chinese School (Independent), Fairfield Methodist School and several primary schools in the wider area.

Because Primary One registration uses home-school distance, the precise distance matters more than the general area. This article lists the schools on the developer’s map and explains how to check the distance.

Universities and Specialist Schools Near Terra Hill

The National University of Singapore and the National University Hospital sit at Kent Ridge, two Circle Line stops west of Pasir Panjang. NUS High School of Mathematics and Science is nearby, and Singapore Polytechnic lies further north at Dover.

For families with older children or young adults, that makes a Signature Collection 2-bedroom or 2-bedroom-with-study home a practical city base for a student, close to campus by train.

Schools Marked Around Terra Hill

Towards Dover and one-north, the developer’s map marks Anglo-Chinese Junior College, Anglo-Chinese School (Independent) and Fairfield Methodist School. Towards Telok Blangah and Tiong Bahru it marks Blangah Rise Primary School, Radin Mas Primary School, CHIJ (Kellock), Gan Eng Seng School and Queenstown Secondary School. Towards Queenstown and Portsdown it marks New Town Primary School and Tanglin Trust School.

The map shows the schools of the wider area rather than measured distances, so families should treat it as a starting list.

Checking Primary One Distances From Terra Hill

In Primary One registration, the Ministry of Education gives priority to children living within 1 km of a school, then within 2 km, in the phases where distance applies. The distance is measured from the home address, so it is the same for every unit in a block.

The simplest check is to enter 18 Yew Siang Road, or the specific block address, into OneMap’s school query and note which primary schools fall within each band. Doing this before choosing a home is worth the few minutes it takes, since the result depends on the exact address.

Getting to School From Terra Hill

Many school journeys will be short drives along Pasir Panjang Road or the AYE. For older children, Pasir Panjang station, about 350 metres from the development, gives an independent route along the Circle Line to Kent Ridge, one-north and HarbourFront.

The schools near Pasir Panjang guide repeats the list with the developer’s map, and the location page carries the travel times.

Choosing a Terra Hill Home With Schooling in Mind

Parents of younger children also weigh the walk to the nearest bus stop and the route to childcare, which the Sales Concierge can point out from the location page map. A short visit to the area at school-run time, combined with a viewing, often answers the remaining questions.

Families planning around schools tend to decide in this order: first the school that matters most, then the distance band, then the home. Because the home-school distance is measured from the address, every unit in a given block shares the same distance to a school, and the nine blocks of Terra Hill share closely similar addresses along Yew Siang Road.

Layout comes next. Families with two or three children usually look at the 3-bedroom homes of 904 to 1,098 sq ft, or the 4-bedroom homes of the Signature Collection; families who want every child in an en-suite room look at the Prestige Collection Type DP1, where every bedroom has its own bathroom. The floor plans show each one.

Finally, the daily routine. The Circle Line from Pasir Panjang, about 350 metres away, serves older children travelling to campuses at Kent Ridge, one-north or beyond, and the facilities of The Alcove keep younger children busy close to home.

The Alcove at Terra Hill is designed with children in mind: an embankment slide, The Creek with stepping stones and cascading falls, The Play Cove and The Creek Room for parties. The 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom homes, and the Prestige Collection Type DP1 with en-suite bedrooms, are the layouts families shortlist most often; the floor plans show each one.
