Middle School (Age 11-14)
Head of Middle School
WELCOME MESSAGE
The Middle School (the start of Senior School for Years 7 to 9, ages 11 to 14) programme prioritises student well-being, ensuring that each child feels safe, supported, and valued throughout their educational journey. We introduce the core values of Community, Curiosity, and Confidence, which are integrated into every aspect of our school life, creating a positive and inclusive setting that nurtures well-rounded, resilient individuals.
With an innovative pastoral care system, we foster a deep sense of belonging within our students, enabling them to flourish and confidently embrace new challenges. Our broad and balanced curriculum, enriched by service opportunities and an outstanding co-curricular program, offers a diverse range of subjects, which teaches students to learn how to learn and inspires them to explore their interests and develop their unique talents.
Additionally, our exciting overseas residential trips in Year 7 and Year 8 culminate in an extended stay for Year 9 students at Tanglin Gippsland, Australia —an unforgettable outdoor learning experience that enhances the independence, leadership and social skills they need as they move onwards to Upper School.

During International Women’s Week 2025, Tanglin DofE students and members of the Exploration Society CCA had the privilege of hearing from two remarkable women, Peh Gee and Li Hui, who made history as part of the Singapore Women’s Everest Team.

We welcomed back the Tanglin Thrift once again. This popular event amongst students has become something of a new tradition in the Senior School. The 2025 Tanglin Thrift was led by students as part of the Metanoia Sustainability Action Group (SAG), a Senior School initiative which works to help achieve Tanglin’s sustainably goals. This particular initiative is focusing on ways to reduce wastage across Tanglin uniform & sports kit and help encourage the importance of recycling pre-loved clothes amongst the Tanglin community.
