Aidan, 7th Grade Student
“I am in 7th grade, and this is my sixth year at Raffles American School. 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.”
Mira, 11th Grade Student
“Having grown up in RAS since middle school, the community has shaped me to become the person that I am, constantly pushing me out of my boundaries to experience new things that I wouldn’t have thought I could achieve. It’s a great place of opportunities and the number of care staff and teachers put into students, creates a welcoming environment. Thank you, RAS! “

“Student-teacher relationships, growing spirit and opportunity. Teachers offer guidance to students both inside and outside of the traditional classroom. Our school has an emerging spirit which can be seen through the arts and heard through respected student voices. Raffles offers many diverse community activities that encourage creative expression and kindling of social relationships. Thank you so much! “
Ember, 9th Grade Student
“Coming to RAS has definitely been a great pleasure as it has helped me develop not only as a student but in many aspects as a whole. Since the day I first joined RAS, it’s been absolutely amazing from the teachers that I’ve met, to the friends I’ve made. I really value my student life in RAS and appreciate everything the RAS community has done for me.”
Arianna, Senior 2020/2021
“I’m from Ecuador, and I love being a part of the RAS community because it has taught me a lot about different countries, people, and cultures. In the five years that I have studied here, I have broadened my English vocabulary with words that I didn’t know before and began learning Mandarin, which is honestly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! I’m really thankful to everyone who has supported me throughout my journey here at Raffles American School! “
Erin, 11th Grade Student
“Raffles American School has been life-changing for me as it has helped me gain more confidence in myself. Before I joined Raffles, I would barely talk and would never even dare to do any kind of public speaking. With the help of my teachers and classmates, my self-confidence is such that I joined the World Scholars team and even traveled abroad with them to compete in a public speaking competition. So I can say that Raffles really brings out the best in its students by giving them a chance to express their ideas using their voice.“
Hannah – Senior and Boarding Student
“Living in a boarding school is akin to having one big extended family. As a family, we are always there for each other, both socially, emotionally, and academically. With the added pastoral care from the dedicated and friendly boarding staff and teachers, living in boarding has helped me develop personally and academically while assisting me in becoming a cultured global citizen for University and beyond.“
