The Principal

Welcome to Raffles International School

It is my pleasure to warmly welcome you to Raffles International School. A truly international school, proudly situated next to the iconic Burj Al Arab, nurturing students of over 80 different nationalities through a rigorous, engaging and inspirational British curriculum.

At Raffles International School we take great pride in providing an emotionally comfortable and academically challenging learning environment, enriched through excellent relationships with a strong focus on the positive wellbeing of our students. As one may expect, our bespoke facilities and learning environments are outstanding, but it is the people that make RIS a particularly special place to be.

We believe that an empowering education extends beyond the strong academic achievement expected. We develop well-rounded students who are equipped with the character, resilience, and empathy required to navigate the challenges and opportunities of an ever-changing world. We nurture responsible global citizens who display integrity, embrace diversity, and contribute positively to society.

I am privileged to work alongside our skilled staff body, who are motivated to inspire and challenge our students whilst providing the tools and encouragement they need to succeed both inside and outside the classroom. Whilst our website will provide you with a flavour of all that Raffles International School has to offer, I invite you to visit us in person at a time that is convenient to you –

Our vision is to provide world class education which empowers our students to achieve success in an ever-changing world. We achieve this through our rigorous approach to academics and nurturing relationships, providing our youngest learners with the confidence to show courage in their endeavours and the eldest to display conviction in their ideals.

We highly value our strong partnerships with parents and guardians and believe that open communication and collaboration are essential for the success of our students, your children. We look forward to welcoming you to Raffles International School soon.

Warm regards,
Matthew Barrett, MA
