Raffles American School

[EduCativ]

RAS offers an outstanding American education with top-notch international teachers. Our teaching staff holds teaching degrees from the US, Canada, and the UK. Professional development days are embedded into the school calendar for teachers to work together to keep abreast of best educational practices.
Our goal at RAS is to educate the whole child through inquiry-based learning. This includes a strong co-curricular program that offers a variety of activities to appeal to the interests of all students, such as sports, dance, music, and art. Our curriculum follows the Common Core Standards for Math and Language Arts, Next Generation Standards for Science, and the College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) for Social Studies.
What sets us apart are our four General Learning Outcomes (GLOs): problem-solving/thinking skills, communication skills, character/interpersonal skills, and organization/research skills. These 4 GLOs are the backbone of both our educational and co-curricular programs and are assessed throughout the year in all areas. Important in all aspects of life, these four skills bridge the academic world to the real world.
RAS is one of the premier educational facilities in Southeast Asia. This includes state-of-the-art athletic facilities including two gymnasiums, an Olympic-size swimming pool, a learning pool, tennis courts, two soccer pitches, a track, and a baseball field. The fine Arts Center consists of a 750-person auditorium, black-box theater, practice rooms, and classrooms. Our custom-designed science labs are complemented with a greenhouse and planetarium. The cafeteria offers nutritional choices for snacks and lunches because we understand the relationship between good nutrition and increased student learning.
Raffles American School is a learning community that empowers students to achieve their academic and life potential. RAS serves students Pre-K through 12th grade. Our rigorous and rich academic and co-curricular programs encourage student growth through a learning outcome approach, acknowledging multiple types of intelligence and paths to learning. We facilitate student success through collaboration with parents, a balanced focus on intellectual, emotional, physical, and social progress, and a profound belief that all students can learn.
At every grade level and in every subject area, students will be given the opportunity to be exposed, to practice, and to be given feedback on their demonstration of our General Learning Outcomes. The American Curriculum is a rigorous, standards-based system that aims to educate the whole child for the successful realization of dreams and goals.
