Crest | Shield Shape
The ACS Crest is shaped as a shield to uphold knightly
values such as chivalry, honour, valour, loyalty and manliness. The
letters ‘ACS’, besides being the initials of the school’s name, also
spell Academic Achievements, Christian Character and Sportsmanship and
Service beyond self. The crest was designed in 1930 by the late Dr Yap
Pheng Geck who was then a member of the staff. | | Composite Creature | | The upper part of the crest shows a creature with a lion head, eagle
wings and a dragon body with claws, representing the fact that the
School was founded when Singapore was a British colony, by the American
Methodist Mission and during the Manchu dynasty in China. | | Blue and Gold Panels | | The lower part of the ACS Crest comprises a panel of blue and another
of gold, representing the heavens and the earth, superimposed on which
are the letters ACS in red, signifying life bridging earth and heaven. |
