Anglo-Chinese School (Barker Road) is a government-aided Methodist all-boys' secondary school located at Barker Road in Newton, Singapore. It is a member of the Anglo-Chinese family of schools in Singapore. It offers the Singapore-Cambridge GCE Ordinary Level and SBB full subject based banding G1 G2 G3course for its students from Sec 1 to Sec 4/5. Students may then move on to Anglo-Chinese Junior College or Anglo-Chinese School (Independent). It has provided opportunities for its feeder students to continue with an ACS Education at a secondary level. ACS was also the first school in Singapore to have a flower named after it, the Ascocenda Anglo-Chinese School orchid, a hybrid created by the school to mark its 116th Founder's Day on 1 March 2002. ACS has many partner schools such as Anglo-Chinese School (Junior) and Anglo Chinese Junior College. The school is close to Newton MRT station.
It was a full school which subsumed Anglo-Chinese School (Primary) as its primary school section until 1998, when the school split into two. The school has been based at the newly rebuilt Barker Road campus since 2003. Its current principal is Mr. Khoo Tse Horng, while long-serving principal Mr. Ng Eng Chin is now retired and Mr. Peter Tan Chong Tze became principal of Queensway Secondary School until 2023. Mr. Loo Ming Yaw headed the school as Principal from 2018 to 2023 before his posting as principal of Millennia Institute in January 2024.
