About Tanglin Trust School

Established in 1925, Tanglin Trust School is the oldest British international school in South East Asia. Tanglin provides the English National Curriculum with an international perspective to children from 3-18 years in Singapore. As a not-for-profit school, tuition fees are devoted to the provision of an outstanding education.

Tanglin is the only school in Singapore to offer A Levels and 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 is inspected every year 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 and 2019).

Tanglin Trust School has an excellent academic reputation and its impressive results enable graduates to enter their universities of choice around the world. The school also has a strong emphasis on sports and performing arts, with well-established choirs, orchestras and concerts. Students can take part in a wide array of interesting co-curricular activities and challenging residential field studies to enrich their learning experience. A strong pastoral system nurtures positive relationships, promoting an ethos that values and celebrates students as individuals while fostering a strong sense of community.
