Our approach prioritizes the education of the whole child, encompassing academic, social, emotional, and ethical growth. We embed essential learning outcomes across all levels of our curriculum, including advanced communication skills, robust research capabilities, and effective problem-solving techniques.
Integral to our curriculum is developing key character attributes such as compassion, responsibility, integrity, and respect. Through various classroom activities and school-wide initiatives, we provide students with numerous opportunities to practice and internalize these values. Our faculty serve as role models, demonstrating these qualities in their daily interactions and teaching practices.
We employ formative and summative standards-based assessment techniques to measure student progress and mastery of skills accurately. These assessments are designed to gauge academic proficiency and allow students to showcase their growth in character and competencies in meaningful ways. This approach ensures students can apply and synthesize their knowledge and skills in real-world contexts.
We are committed to inspiring students to pursue their passions and dreams. Our diverse and engaging curriculum encourages students to explore their interests deeply and develop a lifelong love of learning. We support them in identifying and nurturing their unique talents and aspirations, providing guidance and opportunities to excel in their chosen areas.
The Middle School curriculum at Raffles American School is designed to foster comprehensive development, equipping students with the skills, knowledge, and character traits necessary for success in an ever-evolving world. Through a combination of rigorous academics, character education, and personalized support, we prepare our students to become confident, responsible, and well-rounded individuals.

“I am in 7th grade, and this is my sixth year at RAS. I love RAS because I have made many wonderful friends from all around the world; some are still here, and others are still my best friends now living in different countries. I especially enjoyed Band class because it was something different, and I never experienced something like that before. Some of my favorite memories are from our events at school, like the Family Fun Day and Triathlons.”
