The history of Anglo-Chinese Junior College stretches as far back as 1913, when Rev. William Oldham envisioned the need for a junior college for ACS. As a result, the Anglo-Chinese College building project and fund-raising initiative was kicked off by Rev. J S Nagle, with negotiations beginning with the British colonial government about setting up a college to prepare students for British university education. The proposal was unfortunately turned down by the government, who decided in favour of establishing Raffles College (now the National University of Singapore) to commemorate the centenary of the founding of Singapore. In 1970, the ACS Board of Governors decided to propose the establishment of a junior college and submitted their recommendations to the Singapore government. After numerous discussions, a 6-hectare site at Rochester Park.

In 1977, ACJC became the fifth junior college to be built in line with the Ministry of Education´s policy on pre-university education, welcoming 968 students in Pre-U 1 and Pre-U 2 on 3rd January 1977. Its main complex was equipped with three lecture theatres, a library, the Tan Chin Tuan Auditorium.
