Our being remarkable curriculum was inspired and co-developed by
Dr. William Tan

Neuroscientist, Physician, Author, Paralympian, Record-holder

Diagnosed with Polio as a child, Stage 4 Leukaemia in 2009 and ridden with disabilities, Dr. William Tan stood against all odds to carve his path.

​

Dr. Tan is a scholar, neuroscientists, doctor, paralympian and more. But above all these titles, he's a remarkable fighter and believer.

​

Dr. Tan started as a kindergarten drop-out, but soon emerged as the top student in Selegie Primary School and moved on to Raffles Institution and eventually became an NUS alumnus who majored in Life Sciences. 

​

Despite winning medal after medal, Dr. Tan made it his life mission to champion for needy causes. He's skydived, water-skied, sailed, climbed 14-stories, and even competed in marathons across seven continents in extreme weathers, all in his wheelchair. In the past 22 years, he's helped raise over $18,000,000 voluntarily.

​

His setbacks became his challenges, and his will became his wings. Till date, Mr. Tan is breaking records, going beyond and sharing his wisdom with schools and corporations. Mr. Tan is the epitome of being remarkable.
