About Tanglin Trust School

Tanglin Trust School is Singapore's oldest international school, established in 1925 to serve the British expatriate community. With over 2,800 students from more than 50 nationalities on its leafy Portsdown Road campus, it is widely regarded as one of the finest British curriculum schools in Asia. The school follows the English National Curriculum through to IGCSE, with the IB Diploma Programme offered in the Sixth Form.

The school's exceptional facilities include two swimming pools, a state-of-the-art performing arts theatre, and extensive sports grounds — all set within a green, spacious campus that feels far removed from the urban bustle. Academic results are consistently outstanding, with IB Diploma scores regularly exceeding the world average by a significant margin, and graduates gaining entry to top universities across the UK, US, and Australia.

Tanglin Trust is particularly celebrated for its strong pastoral care, vibrant co-curricular programme, and deep sense of community that keeps alumni connected for life. It is the school of choice for British government and corporate expat families, and demand significantly exceeds supply — early registration is essential for all year groups.
