Shaws @ Tanjong Katong
A small, homely campus tucked into a quiet residential estate on Boscombe Road — surrounded by private houses and some of the best heritage food in Singapore.
Small enough that everyone knows everyone
Tanjong Katong opened in 2009 in a quiet corner of the Boscombe Road estate. The surroundings are calm — which turns out to suit creativity and imagination rather well.
It is our most intimate campus, and parents consistently mention the same thing: because it is small, families get to know most of the teachers and most of the other children. The community that builds up around it is a genuine one.
A team of fourteen educators runs the full ShawsPlay curriculum here, with the same hands-on, outdoor, bilingual approach as every other Shaws school.

What parents here say
The small size of the Katong campus made it feel intimate. We really like the sense of community that’s been built here.
It’s a small school with lots of personal interaction, so everyone knows everyone. Our girls absolutely love their teachers.
We chose the Katong campus because it felt homely. My eldest has even said that his teacher is his best friend.
