Singapore Chinese Girls' School (SCGS) is a full school comprising both primary and secondary levels. The school was founded by a group of educated Straits Chinese gentlemen including Sir Song Ong Siang and Dr Lim Boon Keng. The school started in 1899 at Hill Street and later moved to a one-hectare site located along Emerald Hill Road belonging to Dr Lim Boon Keng in 1923. Originally catered to the Straits Chinese or Peranakan community, the school is very rich in Peranakan culture. In 1994, the school moved to its current location along Bukit Timah Road to accommodate the growing student population. Today, SCGS is one of the premier schools offering one of the best dance programmes in Singapore.
