The Ngee Ann – Adelaide Education Centre was a joint venture between The Ngee Ann Kongsi and The University Of Adelaide.
The Vision of the partners was to provide a high quality education in Singapore through various undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, as well as applied executive and professional development courses taught by experienced academics, consultants and professsionals.
Since its inception in 1998, the Ngee Ann-Adelaide Education Centre has produced some of Singapore’s leaders within its local businesses, multinational corporations and government agencies.

OUR BEGINNING
The University of Adelaide announced its withdrawal from the joint venture. Over the span of 18 years, about 3,000 students have graduated with The University of Adelaide degrees from the campus in Tank Road.
2016
Closure of our chapter
The Ngee Ann-Adelaide Education Centre was rebranded to Ngee Ann Academy, and retained its ‘NAA’ acronym. Staying true to the vision that NAA first started out with, we moved into our new teaching facility right in the heart of Orchard Road at Ngee Ann City with a new corporate identity and came under The Ngee Ann Kongsi as a fully-owned subsidiary.
NAA will continue to serve our stakeholders with the same commitment, quality and passion that we have over the past 20 years.
