Our Philosophy

Our aim is to enable all members of the Tanglin community to flourish during their time here and long after they leave. We want our students to be ready for whatever the next stage of life’s journey has in store for them; equipped with both the knowledge and skills that will not only help them survive but thrive as well.

This approach begins in the Infant School, where children learn the “Five Ways to Wellbeing” as part of our whole-school Lifeskills curriculum. Drawing on available research from the field of Positive Psychology, the curriculum also aims to equip students with strategies and techniques to help them be resilient in the face of emotional challenges. As they progress through the school, students become more aware of their own emotions and how to express their feelings. They experience a range of techniques from mindfulness meditation to laughter yoga, all of which forms a “toolkit” that they can draw on in the future.

We are very proud of the excellent care, guidance and support we offer. The success of our Pastoral system can be seen in the feedback from our Alumni and their families, who consistently comment on the tremendous help and encouragement they received from their peers and our dedicated teachers while at Tanglin.
