Established in 1925, Tanglin Trust School is the oldest British international school in Southeast Asia. The school provides the English National Curriculum with an international perspective to children from 3 to 18 years in Singapore.
Tanglin is a vibrant co-educational school of 2,800 students representing over 50 nationalities and provides a unique learning environment for children from Nursery right through to Sixth Form. As a not-for-profit school, tuition fees are devoted to the provision of an outstanding education.
As the only school in Singapore to offer dual pathways of A Levels or the IB Diploma in Sixth Form, all of Tanglin's Sixth Formers study a programme that is tailored both to the subjects they are passionate about and to the style of learning that most suits them, ensuring they thrive and flourish.
Tanglin has an excellent academic reputation. Students' examination results consistently surpass Singapore and global averages, with around 96% of graduates typically receiving their first or second choice university, which are among the best in the world.
Tanglin is inspected within the British Schools Overseas (BSO) framework, recognised by Ofsted. All three schools have been awarded 'Outstanding', the highest possible grade in their latest inspections (2017, 2018, 2019 and 2022).
The Centenary Building which opened in 2023 is an inspirational new addition to the campus. The new building houses an olympic-standard gymnastics centre, an athletic development gym and physio hub, a 50m competition-standard swimming pool, and a 15m climbing wall. The new Music Department stretches over two floors of the Centenary Building and the school recently launched the Tanglin Centenary Music Scholarship. This academic award is an embodiment of the school's vision to nurture and inspire every individual to be the best they can be.
Located on the top floor is The Institute @ Tanglin, a forum that provides thought leadership and encourages discourse to inspire, challenge and ultimately prepare its students for the future. The Institute also facilitates industry-led workshops as well as intrapreneurship programmes, both of which provide students with real-world experience and insights.
As part of its centenary celebrations in 2025, Tanglin has introduced the Highlands Programme at its new Tanglin Gippsland 15 acre campus in Australia. The programme will offer a 5-week immersive learning experience tailor-made for Year 9 students which will promote wellbeing and active participation in outdoor activities.
Tanglin has a thriving and energetic Arts programme which plays an important part in school life. Students develop their skills in art, design, drama, music, and film-making, facilitating creative, social and intellectual development. Throughout the year, there are many opportunities for students to participate in high-quality ensembles, recitals, performances and exhibitions.
Tanglin students are also encouraged to contribute actively to the local community, support service projects and participate in a wide variety of extra-curricular pursuits that stimulate and broaden student experience. These include 80 outdoor education trips, the International Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) Award, and the Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) programme. Overall Tanglin is committed to providing a holistic education and its mission is to be the best school in the world with a dynamic learning community that nurtures and inspires every individual to be the best they can be.
