“The IB Diploma results for the Class of 2026 are superb and continue the fine pattern of results for students taking the diploma here at Tanglin over recent years. The diploma is always an ambitious yet challenging pathway which can richly reward those students who fully embrace those challenges and opportunities. I am grateful to our dedicated staff who have so ably and devotedly supported our students to achieve these marvellous individual and collective results. Credit should also be amply directed to the Sixth Form team who have supported these young people with such dedication across their two pivotal years in the diploma programme.”

Damian Ballantine, Head of Sixth Form, comments,

"We are incredibly proud of the Class of 2026. Their dedication, diligence and perseverance are reflected in an outstanding set of results. Beyond these raw numbers – as impressive as they are – the Class of 2026 leaves Tanglin with growing confidence, a clear sense of purpose and rewarding range of university destinations ahead. As they progress into the world beyond Tanglin, we celebrate the journeys they have embarked upon, the individuals they have become, and the community connections they have built alongside their academic achievements. We are excited to hear about the positive impacts they will have during this next phase of their journey and look forward to them becoming a strong presence within our alumni community. Personally, I would like to extend my gratitude to our IB Co-Ordinator, Ms Holt, as well as to our committed and caring staff, and the supportive families who have guided and celebrated the IB Class of 2026 throughout their time at Tanglin.”
