Singapore offers a strong range of British-curriculum secondary schools, each balancing academic rigour, pastoral care and internationally recognised GCSE and IGCSE qualifications. This guide looks beyond raw results to explore value-add, inclusion, subject choice, fees and how well schools prepare students for A Levels, the IB Diploma or the IBCP.

Tanglin Trust School in Singapore is the oldest British international school in Southeast Asia, established a century ago in 1925. Today, the school delivers a British-based education to more than 2,850 students aged 3 to 18. As a not-for-profit institution, all tuition fees are directed towards the provision of outstanding education.

There’s much more to the school than its heritage, however. Here, the team from Tanglin highlights five things that showcase how the school blends tradition with innovation.

Tanglin Trust School in Singapore has spent 100 years nurturing students, from their early years to Year 13, through this very journey. As they grow, they are motivated to make plans for their future, not just because someone told them “You should go to college,” but because they’ve been encouraged, year after year, to explore what excites them.

Tanglin Trust School is excited to share that it has won Curriculum Initiative of the Year in the Tes Awards for International Schools. These awards celebrate exceptional schools and educators worldwide who are transforming the lives of children and young people through inspirational teaching, leadership, and innovation.

Tanglin is the only international school in Singapore to be inspected by British Schools Overseas (BSO). In the most recent inspection,  we are pleased to have been rated, once again, "outstanding" in every category; including the quality of education, students' personal development and behaviour, welfare and safety, and leadership and management.
