ACS Anthem

In days of yore from western shores
Oldham dauntless hero came
and planted a Beacon of Truth and Light
in this island of the Main.
Here may it stand from year to year
emblem of grand endeavour
The regions round echo the sound
of A.C.S. forever.

(Chorus)
Sing A.C.S. forever more,
our A.C.S. forever.
God save our land and heaven bless
our A.C.S. forever.

Our students hail from China's plains
and the Land of Rising Sun.
We have many sons from India's strand
and the islands of the Main.
Our hearts our hopes our aims are one.
No discord e'er will sever.
We'll stand together for the cause
of A.C.S. forever.

(Chorus again)
Sing A.C.S. forever more,
our A.C.S. forever.
God save our land and heaven bless
our A.C.S. forever.

The ACS Crest

The crest was designed in 1930 by the late Dr Yap Pheng Geck, who was then a member of the ACS staff.

The Upper part of the crest features a creature with a lion head, eagle wings and a dragon body with claws, symbolizing 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.

The lower part comprises a panel of blue and another of gold, representing the heavens and the earth. Superimposed on them are the letters ACS in red, signifying life bridging earth and heaven.

It is shaped as a shield to uphold knightly virtues such as chivalry, honour, loyalty, valour and manliness.

The school motto, The Best Is Yet To Be, which was later introduced by the late Mr. T.W. Hinch (Principal,1929- 1947), was incorporated into the crest.
