Manjusri Secondary School is the only Buddhist secondary school in Singapore, set up by the Singapore Buddhist Federation in 1982.
In 2009, Manjusri Secondary School relocated from its former campus in Sims Drive to its new campus in Ubi Avenue 1, which was officially opened by then Education Minister Ng Eng Hen on 22 April 2010. The move allows Manjusri to share resources with its affiliated primary school, Maha Bodhi School. The school celebrated its 29th anniversary on 21 April 2011.
