Additionally, RWA imparts a regional focus to education through strong Arabic A, Arabic B and Islamic Studies programmes. Raffles World Academy was recently awarded the Green Flag status by the Eco-schools programme owing to our affinity with eco-friendly initiatives. Graduates from Raffles World Academy are accepted into universities worldwide.

RWA aims to ensure your child's experiences as a Raffles student are based on teaching techniques that are both theoretically sound, yet practical, to the extent where the learning experience is both stimulating and enjoyable.
