Tanglin Trust School, independent school in Singapore
Tanglin Trust School is a British international school in Queenstown, Singapore, covering education from nursery at age 3 through sixth form at age 18. The campus is made up of modern buildings with large windows and bright learning spaces, with each school stage occupying its own separate area of the grounds.
The school was founded in 1925, making it the oldest British international school in Southeast Asia. Over the following decades it developed from a small community school into a larger institution that follows British curricula while welcoming students from around the world.
The school brings together students from over 50 nationalities, with a large share holding British passports, which gives the campus a noticeably British feel. On any given day, you might see children rehearsing for a drama performance, playing in an ensemble, or working on art projects in open studios.
The school is easy to reach by car or public transport, and the Queenstown neighborhood keeps arrivals and departures straightforward. The grounds are large, so first-time visitors should allow a little extra time to find their way around the campus.
The school was the first in Asia to receive Curiosity Approach accreditation, a program that encourages children to develop a natural desire to explore and learn. This shapes how classrooms are arranged and how learning is approached every day, which visitors can notice in the open, resource-filled spaces throughout the campus.
