In 1996, Crescent Girls’ School was accorded Autonomous School status and in 2007, it was selected as one of the pioneer FutureSchools@Singapore.The school’s crest, motto and song date from its early history and its distinctive yellow and peacock blue uniform has also remained very much as it is today.

The school building has 9 blocks of facilities to provide a physical environment conducive for learning. The names of the blocks reflect the roads, places and buildings in the vicinity.
