GRADE LEVEL PLACEMENT

At Raffles American School, we welcome students from all over the world, offering flexible grade placement based on academic background, rather than age alone. Our dedicated team ensures each child is supported to excel in our balanced curriculum, providing the right guidance and resources. We carefully assess each student’s application to ensure they are placed in the grade level that best supports their academic, social, and emotional development. While we follow age-appropriate grade placement guidelines, exceptions may be considered on a case-by-case basis, especially for students who have completed a grade level at another school. Please contact our Admissions Team for more details.
