Fairfield Methodist Secondary School is an autonomous co-educational Methodist secondary school in Dover, Singapore.
The school was founded in August 1888 by Miss Sophia Blackmore, a missionary from Australia. It began as a one-room school for girls in Cross Street, Singapore, with eight Peranakan students. The school was initially known as Telok Ayer Girls' School.
In 1912, a donation of $5,000 from an American named Mr Fairfield allowed the school to construct a new school building on a site provided by the government at Neil Road. The relocated school was renamed Fairfield Girls' School. It was then renamed Fairfield Methodist Girls' School in 1958.
In 1983, the school moved into a new campus at Dover Road. At that point, the school began to admit male students, thus becoming the first co-educational Methodist school in Singapore. The primary and secondary sections of the school were also separated to become Fairfield Methodist Primary School and Fairfield Methodist Secondary School, though both schools are located within the same Dover Road campus and share certain facilities.
Fairfield Methodist Secondary School became an autonomous school in 1996.
