Raffles Institution

«When Stamford Raffles held the torch
That cast Promethean Flame
We faced the challenge of the day
To give our school a name…»
and so please be warned that this review may be a little bias.
and it can be nothing less than a 5 star review.
don’t take my word for it, you can verify it with our MM.
education is but a vehicle in the journey of life.
it’s not an end but a means to an end.
but which parent will not want the best for their child?
in singapore, it now starts at kindergarten.
but nothing will guarantee your child’s passage into the best secondary and pre-​university education i.e. RI!
many have tried but failed.
many will still try and still fail.
but it is a fair system, as there is no feeder primary school to RI.
and no amount of money will buy you a place here.
if you are the crème de la crème, you get in.
as simple as that.
so gracia o, i’m sorry but your son has to find his own way there.
and do not mistake it as a purely academic institution.
many a great sportsman have come from RI, from singapore’s first world cup referee to many olympians.
many artistes from poets to actresses to musicians.
even the school’s scouting movement, which till this day, i credit for the discipline, independence and ‘survivor’ life skills that they imparted.
don’t take my word for it, you can verify it with our MM.
«Let comradeship and fervent hope
With one voice make us pray
Auspicium Melioris Aevi
With God to guide the way…»
