A learning community that empowers students to achieve their academic and life potential

MIDDLE SCHOOL

“Middle school is where students begin to explore their passions, discover their strengths, and build the skills they’ll carry into the future. Our program nurtures curiosity, resilience, and a sense of belonging—
preparing students for success in high school and beyond.”

Middle school is a time of transition, where students move from the familiar environment of elementary school to a new academic and social identity. At Raffles American School, Middle school students thrive in a nurturing environment that promotes both academic and social-emotional growth. Through daily advisory meetings and support from our counselors, students feel connected and supported, learning to value themselves and build a stronger self-esteem through positivity.

 

Furthermore, the Middle School Program emphasizes project-based learning, an immersive approach that fosters academic progress and self-reflection. This method prepares students to navigate both challenges in academic and social dynamics. Our dedicated and experienced faculty provide strategies in time management, organization and planning, equipping students with the skills they need to meet program expectations as they continue their learning journey through middle school.

Holistic Development
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.
Character Education
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.
Assessment Techniques
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.
Inspiring Passion
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.
