Yuying Secondary (Chinese: 育英中学) was founded by the Hainanese Community in 1910 as a Chinese medium high school.[2][3] Today, it follows the mainstream public education system and offers the Singapore-Cambridge GCE ‘O’ and ‘N’ Levels. It also uses a full English curriculum, except for foreign or mother tongue languages.

Initially, it was known as Yock Eng School (Chinese: 育英学校). In 1947, it was renamed to Yock Eng High School (Chinese: 育英中校). Finally, in 1985, its name is changed to Yuying Secondary (Chinese: 育英中学). It was previously located at the present CDAC premises and moved to the current site at Hougang in 1986.
