Established in 1907, San Yu Adventist School (SYAS) emerged from the merger of San Yu High School and the Seventh-day Adventist School. The Seventh-day Adventist School began as the Eastern Training School in 1907, evolving through various name changes and relocations before settling at Upper Serangoon Road. Similarly, San Yu High School was founded by the West Malaysia-Singapore Mission, offering primary and secondary courses. In 1996, both institutions merged to form SYAS.
SYAS fosters a vibrant community spirit, organizing events such as the annual Sports Day, which is a highlight for students and staff alike. The school also celebrates cultural events, including the "Good English Week," aimed at enhancing students' language skills through innovative activities.
SYAS does not have a formal PTA but maintains open communication with parents through regular updates and letters. These communications cover various topics, including home-based learning schedules, orientation camps, and other school events. Parents are also encouraged to engage with the school community by participating in events such as the annual Sports Day.
