    • School Vision

      To be the 'Hope of a Better Age', as encapsulated in the school's Latin motto, Auspicium Melioris Aevi.

    • School Mission

      Nurturing Thinkers, Leaders and Pioneers of character who serve by leading and lead in serving.

    • School Philosophy, Culture and Ethos

      Founded in 1823, Raffles Institution (RI) provides its students with an all-round 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. Modelled on exemplary gifted education principles and practices for high-ability learners, the programme lays a solid foundation for critical thinking, innovation and character development. The Cognitive development domain of the programme is based on the GCE A-Level subject specialisations with extended enrichment modules. Through a wide spectrum of programmes, students are nurtured in this and four other domains of life: Character and Leadership; Community and Citizenship; Sports and Health, and Arts and Aesthetics. RI's special focus is on Character and Leadership development, particularly in giving back to the community. The Raffles Programme develops students into thinkers, leaders and pioneers, who understand that the basis of leadership is service, and actively seek to serve others. Students will come to a greater awareness of their talents and gifts, and learn where and how to put these talents to their best use.
