History

CHIJ Our Lady Queen of Peace is one of the 11 schools set up by the Infant Jesus (IJ) Sisters in Singapore. CHIJ (Our Lady Queen of Peace), formerly known as CHIJ Bukit Timah, was the seventh school to be founded by the IJ Sisters in 1955. It started with 62 pupils housed temporarily at the St Joseph Sino-English School. It moved to its present premises at Chestnut Drive in 1957.

In 1961, a secondary section was started, but in 1973, because of the inadequate facilities for secondary education, the secondary section moved out and amalgamated with the secondary section of Boys’ Town School.

From January 1975, the school functioned as a full primary school. The school was rebuilt under PRIME from June 2005 to June 2007, following which it returned to its new campus at Chestnut Drive. New facilities included up-to-date physical infrastructure and facilities to provide a better environment for the pupils to learn and develop their potential. There were more computer laboratories, new IT resource rooms, bigger classrooms and a better-equipped media resource library, a new health and fitness room, counselling room, prayer room, math room and science rooms.

The school embarked on PERI Upgrading in 2016, and it was completed in 2018. The upgrading saw a new seven-storey block erected with added facilities to enhance the students’ learning experiences as well as an outdoor experiential learning space, jogging path and outdoor fitness playground.
