Aimee (4) and Sara (2)
We arrived in Singapore from London in
2011. Aimee started Nursery at Tanglin
Trust School (TTS) in August last year
and is now in her final term. Her sister
Sara will start Nursery in August next
year.
We did a fair bit of research on
schools prior to moving to Singapore.
Tanglin appealed to us, as it follows
a British-based curriculum but still has
an international environment with a
diverse range of students from different
backgrounds. After visiting the school
and seeing classroom upon classroom
of happy and confident children, we
were convinced it was the right choice.
It also helped that the facilities were
well-equipped and the teaching staff
enthusiastic.
The registration process provided
ample opportunity for us to connect with
the teachers and the other parents as
the school termdrew closer. This helped
Aimee become familiar with the place
and settle in almost seamlessly. The
first year of learning was challenging
but fun – exactly what we’d hoped for.
We have seen a phenomenal change
in her social development and learning
progress.
As her class prepares to make the
transition to Reception in August this
year, the teachers are proactively taking
the time to introduce the children to their
new environment, making it an exciting
and enjoyable experience for them.
Starting a new school can be an
incredibly stressful and challenging
time for both the child and the parents,
but the Tanglin School community
really stand out in how they provide
support during this period. One word
of advice for parents is to register your
child early – many of our friends left it
to the last minute and were inevitably
disappointed.
