| '''Raffles Institution (RI)''', founded in 1823, is the oldest school and centre for pre-tertiary learning in Singapore. It is an independent school in Singapore providing secondary and pre-university education. RI consists of a boys-only Year 1-4 section and a coeducational Year 5-6 section. Its current campus is in [[Bishan]].
| |
|
| |
| Starting in 2007, the school offered the six-year Integrated Programme, which allows students to bypass the [[Singapore-Cambridge GCE Ordinary Level|GCE O-Levels]], and take the [[GCE Advanced Level|GCE A-Levels]] instead. Known as the Raffles Programme, it is jointly offered with its sister school, Raffles Girls' School (Secondary).
| |
|
| |
| RI was among the first schools to receive the Ministry of Education's School Excellence Award, which recognises "excellence in both education processes and outcomes". It is a member of various academic partnerships and alliances, such as the G20 Schools and The Winchester Network. It also cofounded the Global Alliance of Leading-Edge Schools.
| |
|
| |
| RI was awarded the Singapore Quality Award in 2011.
