School History

Innova Junior College was established in 2005 at 21 Champions Way. In the following year, the college was selected as a centre for the Language Elective Programme (Malay Language and Literature). It was also awarded the LeadIT@Schools scheme to spearhead the use of information and communications technology to enhance teaching and learning. In 2007, Innova Junior College was designated as a Centre of Excellence for New Media. It was officially declared open that same year.

The college offered an in-house Global Immersion and Exchange Programme that provided Innovians with the opportunity to forge friendships across national borders and to appreciate the real-world application of lessons in the classroom. It also offered the Innova Scholars Programme that equipped Innovians with the skills to compete for university scholarships, with activities like internships and interview skills workshops.

Innova focused on develop leaders with sound values, judgement and foresight. A progressive Leadership Index was used as a guide for each student to develop in the domains of intellectual capacity, teamwork and drive. In 2011, the chaNgE.PACER Council was set up to develop empathetic leaders who would advocate for communities in need. These academic and co-curricular programmes demonstrated the college’s commitment to equipping Innovians with a comprehensive set of skills to be capable leaders, astute thinkers and confident global citizens.

In 2015, Innova celebrated its 10th anniversary with a night festival attended by alumni and students. The highlight of the evening was an original musical by the school’s performing arts groups.

In 2019, Innova Junior College merged with Yishun Junior College to form Yishun Innova Junior College.

Principals:
- Ms Yeo Hong Mui (2005–2009)
- Mrs Marian Chia (2010–2012)

School Song

♫ Listen

We stand together
Championing change, we can succeed
In this world we wish to lead
Passion’s the answer
Giving our souls the strength we need
As we conquer every peak

The lessons we learn the champions’ way
Enriching our lives determined to grow
Day by day

Let’s follow our dreams Innova
Together we’ve come this far
And with what we’ve learnt we’ll tell the world
We’re reaching for the skies
Ad Astra! We’ll touch the stars

Innova aspire
Let’s be the star for all to see
In our goals we must believe
Reaching up higher,
Blazing the skies with all our dreams
Innova, we will achieve

Repeat Bridge
Repeat Chorus
