Tanglin Trust School
We’ve lived in Singapore since August 2019 and we heard about the school from a friend in the UK. Tanglin’s range of interesting subjects, teachers and welcoming atmosphere made it our number one choice. James and Jessica both made friends quickly. The talks, activities and clubs for parents also enabled us, as adults, to assimilate into Singapore life painlessly. We felt like we’d lived here for years! The school is professional and experienced in welcoming new families into school and to life in Singapore.
The teachers have been terrific at guiding us into the ways of Tanglin, getting to know our children and making sure they feel comfortable and get the most out of school life. The Nursery children love their time at school and dance into the classroom each morning with lots of enthusiasm and excitement to see their friends and teachers. We’re incredibly impressed with Victoria Thomas, Head of Nursery, whose approach inspires children to be curious, imaginative, independent and kind. The Nursery is the first in Asia to achieve the Curiosity Approach Accreditation. They predominantly use natural materials and this adds to the calm, joyful sanctuary that is the classroom. Also, you’ve got to see the Nursery playground that has climbing frames, tricycles to ride around, a mud kitchen, messy play, musical play and lots of space to run around. It’s a child’s paradise!
I noticed a big change after just the first term in my daughter and the other children. They became more confident, independent and eloquent, talking to teachers and friends, and telling stories to the class at snack time. Parents are welcome to go into class to read to the children during library time or help supervise the cooking class. It’s a really special time.
