About Us
Assumption Pathway School (APS) is a Catholic
educational institution transforming and empowering students who are unable to
access or complete secondary education to help them achieve personal success.
APS, as a specialised school, offers
vocational programmes accredited by ITE as well as foundation and character
development programmes developed in collaboration with MOE.
APS was founded on 17 Jan 1938 as St
Joseph’s Trade School and was started by two religious brothers from the
Catholic Order of the Brothers of St Gabriel. In 1970, St Joseph’s Trade School
was renamed Boys’ Town Trade School. A year later, it was renamed Boys’ Town Vocational
Institute. On 1 Apr 1994, the Institute took the name of Assumption Vocational
Institute (AVI) to facilitate the intake of girls in Jan 1995. In tandem with
changes in the educational landscape, AVI became APS in 2009 with an expanded
curriculum, particularly in foundation subjects and character education.
Currently, APS is managed by the St Gabriel’s Foundation under the Montfort Brothers of St Gabriel, an order of the Catholic Teaching Brothers founded by St Louis Marie de Montfort.
