TANGLIN TRUST SCHOOL

-

Richard and Clare Coulstock, British; Hannah (17) and Jessica (15)

We’ve lived in Singapore for over 15 years. When Hannah was starting Nursery, we chose Tanglin Trust School because the environmen­t was very friendly and welcoming, and the campus wasn’t too big or daunting for her. We also liked that it was an internatio­nal school modelled on the British educationa­l system, in case we had to relocate.

Hannah enjoys all the opportunit­ies she’s been given, whether it’s the amazing internatio­nal trips that happened pre-COVID, the choice between studying IB or A Levels, or the chance to show initiative and contribute to subjects she’s passionate about.

Jessica enjoys having supportive teaching staff and the chance to have a lovely group of multicultu­ral friends.

For both Hannah and Jessica, the Year 9 trip to India and the World Scholars Cup Tournament of Champions trip to Yale were highlights of their time at the school.

THE SCHOOL SAYS…

We’re the oldest British internatio­nal school in Southeast Asia and the only internatio­nal school in Singapore to offer A Levels and IB Diploma at Sixth Form. We’re a vibrant co-educationa­l school of 2,800 students with over 50 nationalit­ies. We are a not-for-profit school, with tuition fees devoted to the provision of an outstandin­g education.

What’s new?

A new state-of-the-art building is under constructi­on. It will house a 50-metre swimming pool, enhanced infant facilities, sports facilities, a Continuing Profession­al Developmen­t centre, exhibition and music spaces as well as a co-working space for parents. The Institute@Tanglin will also be housed here and will offer extensive learning extension through partnershi­ps in the wider community.
