Our vision for The Institute @ Tanglin is to be a forum that promotes excellence, provides thought leadership, and encourages discourse to inspire, challenge and prepare the next generation of leaders in our community.
We will be a space that brings together a range of current and future disciplines, teachers, learners, facilitators and mentors, to work collaboratively to envision and drive new and improved outcomes within our already dynamic learning community.
Upcoming Events

Art Studio L5, Sixth Form Building, Tanglin Trust School
We are delighted to offer our community the opportunity to participate in a workshop with Ian and take away your own piece of art. This workshop will give attendees the chance to work on textured surfaces exploring a variety of drawing techniques. Ian will guide you through the process and support you. He will also tell you more about his approach to his art practice and showcase some of his incredible work!
This workshop is for Tanglin parents and the wider community, please feel free to sign up with friends and family. We will serve light refreshments during the session.

The Institute, L11, Centenary Building, Tanglin Trust School
In this talk, Martin Cox will discuss how free speech has come under attack in recent years, and many students want to limit the rights of individuals to express certain ideas. This talk argues that we should fight for the rights of people to say things that are against the popular opinion on a given topic. If we ban unpopular speech we may prohibit some things that turn out, in retrospect, to have been worth saying, and in the process we curtail civil liberty and may lose the art of civilised disagreement. The talk will be followed by a discussion and questions.
He will also share information on the John Locke Institute's global essay competition, which attracts over 7000 submissions a year from all parts of the world, as well as its summer seminars and gap year courses in Oxford, Princeton and Washington DC for exceptional teenagers specialising in Philosophy, Politics, Economics, History, Psychology and Law.

News from The Institute
TMUN is in session! What was the theme this year and what did our students debate about? Adam Cotton, Academic Enrichment Coordinator, tells us more.
The TEDx platform’s goal is to spark conversation, connection, and community. For Year 9 student Kimi, it was an opportunity to share her views on gender equality. We catch up with her to find out more.
Tanglin hosted the TEDxTanglinTrustSchool event for the seventh year in a row and this time, the theme was “A Step in the Right Direction”. Why did the student organising team decide on such a theme? Read on to find out more.
Although bicycles are not the main mode of transportation in Singapore, they do make a big difference to many low-income families. That was why Nina D, Mahikaa G, Eliza H, Osian O, and Tanisha S from Year 12 decided to take on a bicycle renovation project for their CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service). They were inspired by a new bicycle project instituted last year where Yash Pathania (then in Year 13) repaired and restored old and abandoned bicycles that were piling up at the condominium he was staying at.
Four Year 13 students made it to the shortlist consisting of 19 other Singapore schools to join NXplorers 2.0 Journey - a global project championed by the Science Centre Singapore and Shell Singapore.
