TLS Academy

TLS Academy is a private Christian school committed to a holistic education that integrates Christian principles, including values such as excellence, integrity, resilience, compassion, and humility. It prioritises an individualised learning approach, moving away from conventional teaching methods to focus on the unique pace and performance level of each student. The school aims to nurture students into independent learners and future leaders by fostering a spirit of excellence and faith.

The school uses the Accelerated Christian Education (ACE) curriculum, which divides core subjects—Mathematics, English, Literature and Creative Writing, Social Studies, Science, and Word Building—into bite-sized, mastery-based work-texts called PACEs. Students progress through these materials at their own individualised pace, with mastery demonstrated through check-ups, self-tests, and final PACE tests. The curriculum is designed to develop critical thinking skills across six phases: knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.

Upon completion of the Grade 12 programme, students receive an American High School Diploma. Graduates have gone on to pursue higher education at institutions such as the Singapore University of Social Sciences and the University of British Columbia. The programme aims to develop independent, inquisitive learners with strong time management and critical thinking skills.

The school provides comprehensive student counselling and mentoring services to support students' academic, social, and psychological needs. Optional learning support is available for an additional fee. The programme is specifically designed to be accommodative for students who may have faced academic or social challenges in other educational settings.

TLS Academy welcomes local and international students from Grade 1 to Grade 12. Applicants must demonstrate proficiency in English and undergo an ACE® Diagnostic Test to determine their performance level and identify learning gaps. For Singaporean citizens, the school requires withdrawal approval from their previous public school and Ministry of Education approval for enrolment. Foreign students requiring a Student’s Pass can receive assistance with the application process from the school.

The school operates on a two-semester system, with each semester divided into two terms. The 2026 academic year runs from January 5 to November 20, with scheduled breaks between terms and semesters. The calendar includes various public holidays observed in Singapore, such as Chinese New Year, Hari Raya Puasa, and National Day.

Centrally located within an eight-minute walk of Newton MRT station, the school occupies approximately 160 square metres at 10 Winstedt Road. The facility includes two learning centres (training rooms) with a maximum capacity of 60 students, a reception/rest area, and an administrative office. The learning environment is designed to support individualised study and close supervision.

The school offers various co-curricular activities (CCA) to support holistic development, including drama and art classes. Students may also participate in local and overseas field trips. These activities are designed to build character, teamwork, and communication skills alongside the core academic programme.
