‘Tanglin Trust School Singapore has a long tradition of
providing British-based learning with an international
perspective. At Tanglin we strive to make every individual feel
valued, happy and successful. Responsibility, enthusiasm and
participation are actively encouraged and integrity is prized.
Working together in a safe, caring yet stimulating
environment, we set high expectations whilst offering strong
support, resulting in a community of lifelong learners who can
contribute with confidence to our world.’ (Tanglin Mission
Statement)
Established in 1925, Tanglin provides British based
education for 2700 students from the ages of 3 through to 18
years. The curriculum is broadly based on the National
Curriculum of England and Wales. In 2009 Tanglin gained
authorisation as an IB World School and students can now
choose to study either the IB Diploma Programme or A levels
in the sixth form.
Tanglin is proud of its 86 years of continuous service and
honoured to be part of the dynamic hub that is Singapore.
Over the years Tanglin has expanded to accommodate the
increasing demand for world class international education
from families representing a diverse range of nationalities.
The school is regularly inspected by independent UK
inspectors. In February 2011 the latest inspection confirmed
Tanglin’s senior school status as ‘outstanding’, the highest
possible grading.
High levels of achievement are evident throughout the
school and high quality teaching places great emphasis on
meeting the needs of each and every student. In addition to its
outstanding academic performance, Tanglin offers an
extensive range of sporting, musical, creative and recreational
co-curricular activities. Tanglin students are also encouraged
to contribute actively to the local community, support social
projects and participate in a wide variety of extracurricular
pursuits.
Underpinning life at Tanglin are a set of ten attributes,
closely aligned with the IB’s learner profile, which the school
strives to develop in its students: balanced, caring, risk-takers,
knowledgeable, resilient inquirers, communicators,
principled, open-minded, thinkers and reflective.
Ultimately, it is the quality of education at Tanglin that
makes the difference.
