Placement Rights are admission instruments designed to offer accelerated access to a small number of places in exchange for a significant financial contribution to the school.

Anyone can buy them, but we anticipate most demand to come from companies who are looking to relocate families with children and who are finding it difficult to secure places at Tanglin because of waiting lists. Many families are unwilling to commit to a move to Singapore without knowing their children's education is secure.

We offer two levels of Placement Rights: a Guaranteed Placement Right costs S$165,000 (excluding GST) and offers a guaranteed place at the school and a Standard Placement Right costs S$85,000 (excluding GST) and it changes the nominees priority on the relevant waiting list.

Due to the turnover we experience in our student population at Tanglin, we anticipate continued movement on our waiting lists. However, it is true that holders of Placement Rights will have priority over others. If your child's name is low down on the list and you have been told you face a long wait for a place, you now have the option to buy a Placement Right to secure that place.

Siblings on the waiting list receive priority after Staff and Placement Right holders, regardless of their date of application, once their sibling in the school has been a student at Tanglin for at least one term. Sibling priority does not apply to the siblings of SPR or GPR holders.

GPR/SPR will be issued together with an invoice within 14 days from date of written confirmation of purchase. At this date, the student’s position on the waiting list will be changed to reflect their new priority. Payment must be made within 30 days from the date of invoice.
