Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
Attend an Open House or Schedule a School Tour.
Once the admissions team has responded, consider attending an open house or arranging a personal school tour. This is an excellent opportunity for you to experience the school environment, explore the facilities, and ask any specific questions about the curriculum, extracurricular activities, and the school community.
Submit the Application Form and Required Documents.
After gathering all necessary information, proceed to complete and submit the application form available on the school’s website. Ensure that you prepare all required documents, such as your child’s birth certificate, school reports from the previous two years, and any relevant examination results.
Assessment and Interview Process.
Depending on the grade level of entry, your child may need to undergo an assessment or interview. The admissions team will provide details about this process, including the format and content of the assessment. This step is designed to understand your child’s academic abilities and ensure that the school can meet their educational needs.
Offer of a Place and Acceptance.
If your child meets the school’s entry criteria, you will receive an offer of a place. Review the offer carefully, including any conditions and the enrollment terms. To secure the spot, respond by the specified deadline and provide any necessary confirmation, such as the enrollment deposit or additional documentation.
Prepare for Enrollment and School Start.
Once you have accepted the offer, the school will guide you through the enrollment process. This includes finalizing administrative details, such as uniform purchase, bus arrangements, and orientation schedules.
Tanglin Trust School employs an applicant pool system rather than a traditional waitlist. The process includes:
Application Submission: Families can submit applications up to three years before the desired entry year.
Annual Review: Each year, the relevant Head of School and Head of Admissions review and assess applicants in the pool.

Possible Outcomes: After the annual review, applicants may receive:
-An offer of a place at the school.
-Placement into the waitpool for consideration if spots become available during the applied academic year.
-Notification that the application was unsuccessful.
This system allows the school to evaluate applicants annually, ensuring that each student is considered fairly based on the current availability and suitability for the school's programs.
