Set among lush rolling hills in the fast-growing city of Iskandar, Malaysia, the Raffles American School campus accommodates pre-kindergarten through 12th-grade students. The 19-hectare school is envisioned as a holistic learning environment seamlessly interwoven into its beautiful setting. Given the site’s slope, the campus consists of three main “terraces,” with each terrace occupied by a cluster of grade levels.

Our facilities include technology-integrated classrooms, science labs, visual art, dance, and performing arts studios, a performing arts center with an 800-seater auditorium and a black box theater, and a library for students of various reading levels and abilities.

RAS is also the only K-12 school in Southeast Asia to feature its own planetarium, which provides students with unique learning opportunities to support our progressive education models and philosophy.

RAS is also home to a senior boarding program that provides pastoral care in five boarding facilities.
The campus also features a host of athletic amenities, including two separate indoor air-conditioned gymnasiums, an Olympic-size swimming pool, a shallow training pool, outdoor tennis and basketball courts, a soccer field, and a stadium that includes a second full-size soccer field, track and field, and a 400-meter running track.

Sustainability lies within the cultural heart of the school, which is evident in the campus design. The building features passive-cooling techniques such as cross-ventilation, stack effect, and exterior shading devices. This ensures that, although our school spans a large area, we have minimized its carbon footprint.
