Anderson Junior College (AJC) was a junior college established in 1984 and located in Yio Chu Kang, Singapore, offering two-year pre-university courses leading to the Singapore-Cambridge GCE Advanced Level examinations.

In 2019, it was merged with Serangoon Junior College (SRJC) and renamed as Anderson Serangoon Junior College (ASRJC). The new junior college remained at AJC's site.

Anderson Junior College was the 11th junior college to be established in Singapore and received its first batch of students in 1984. It celebrates its anniversary on the fifth of April each year.^{[citation needed]} The Anderson Junior College Hostel was planned and construction commenced in 2009. The hostel was opened in 2012.^[1][2]

On 20 April 2017, it was announced that AJC would merge with the merged school located at the current site of AJC.^[3] The merged school was named as Anderson Serangoon Junior College, which is a combination of the two schools' names, from 2019.^[4]

The college crest is formed from the initials of the college. The letter A, in the form of a yellow flame, symbolises the vitality and youthful aspirations of the students. The dark blue letters, J and C, supporting the flame, symbolise college support for the individual in his efforts to realise his ambition. The four circles at the base depict racial harmony, highlighting the college motto.^{[citation needed]}

The crest was designed by Mr. Heng Eng Hwa in 1984.^{[citation needed]}

The college motto was Non Mihi Solum, which is Latin for Not for Myself Alone.^[7]

For competitive intra-school events, the school population was divided into five houses:

• Jaguar (Red)
• Panther (Yellow)
• Puma (Green)
• Cheetah (Grey)
• Cougar (Blue)

The House Committee is in charge of each house, with each house having at The House Captain and the Vice-Captain. The house committee is made up of student councillors.^{[citation needed]}

The Anderson Junior College Hostel was opened in 2012, providing accommodation for scholars in AJC as well as those from Nanyang Junior College, Anderson Secondary School, Nan Chiau High School and Catholic High School. It was permanently closed from 2019 as MOE announced that demand for boarding places continue to fall and there are fewer international students in schools in Singapore.

Anderson Junior College offers both Arts and Science courses that leads up to the Singapore-Cambridge GCE Advanced Level examinations.
