School History

The school was set up by the Singapore Buddhist Federation in 1982 along Sims Drive, Kallang. In 2009, the school moved to a new campus which was officially opened on 22 April 2010. The move allowed the school to share resources with its affiliated primary school, Maha Bodhi School.

In November, the school organised a home-coming dinner for past-and-present staff and students, with then-Education Minister Heng Swee Keat being the Guest-of-Honour.[1]

In January 2017, Manjusri Secondary School absorbed some students from the now defunct MacPherson Secondary School. With Mr Sim Chong Boon as principal.
