Raffles Institution

About Raffles Institution

Founded in 1823, Raffles Institution (RI) is a pre-tertiary institution that provides students with a holistic education through its integrated six-year Raffles Programme, which leads to the GCE A-Level certification for boys aged 13 to 18 and girls aged 17 to 18. The Raffles Programme lays a solid foundation for critical thinking, innovation, and character development. A comprehensive range of curricular and co-curricular programmes develops students in the Cognitive, Character and Leadership, Community and Citizenship, Sports and Health, and Arts and Aesthetics domains, and equips them with future-ready skills. Alongside the school’s diversity and community engagement approach, the Raffles Programme provides students with agency over their own pathways. Students are nurtured to become learners, leaders and pioneers who are driven by purpose, dedicated to service, and who draw on their unique gifts for a flourishing human and natural world.
