Tanglin Trust School WearrivedinSingaporeinSeptember 2010 and all three children are at TTS – we have one in each school! We’ve loved TTS from day one. The school community of teachers, parents and children is very welcoming and supportive. Our children love going to school and have made some great friends there – as have we. The teachers are encouraging and have helped our children to develop into independent and confident thinkers. They go the extra mile to get the most out of the children and to give them a fantastic experience. The school also has exciting overseas school trips, “Wow” Days that are used to 95 Portsdown Road 6770 3480 | tts.edu.sg introduce new curriculum topics, and a huge range of CCAs. Our children love sport and both Beatrice and Michael swim for the school team; Michael also plays rugby. Everyone is made to feel like an individual and encouraged to be themselves. We feel that this is key in today’s fast moving world. The design and technology facilities in the school are incredible – so futuristic! We love how the children are encouraged to use technology in everyday learning. The Junior School offers English Speaking Board assessments that give the children invaluable experience in speaking in front of others. The PTA is also very active and organises great events which support the whole community. We researched schools before moving here, and we visited TTS when we arrived. We wanted our children to have a British education. The school teaches these topics but also teaches about Singapore and the relationship between Singapore and the rest of the world – it’s really an international school with a British foundation.
