RIS is proud to be part of the Innoventures Education group of schools and nurseries which provides high quality international education to almost 8,000 young learners across five schools and eleven nurseries.

In 2010, Innoventures Education took on the management of Raffles International School and since that time, has extended RIS Secondary to include a vibrant Sixth Form offering ‘A’ Level and BTEC pathways to further education, along with Duke of Edinburgh awards and opportunities for local and international work experience to ensure school leavers have every opportunity for further success.

While the school has always enjoyed strong links with our local Emirati community, RIS also has strong international connections and currently has learners from 86 different countries worldwide, speaking more than 30 different languages. English is the language of instruction and alongside a strong Arabic programme, French, Mandarin, Spanish MFL options from Year 3 compliment mother tongue programmes in Hindi, Russian, French and Spanish for native speakers. 

Our youngest learners attend Raffles Umm Sequeim Nursery for children from 6 months to 2 years of age. These children follow the EYFS ‘Development Matters’ curriculum.

FS1 and FS2 children attend Foundation Stage and continue with EYFS and continuous provision.

Primary students in Years 1-6 follow the National Curriculum for England and at the end of Year 6 transition into Secondary School.

Secondary School students follow increasingly personalised pathways in Years 7-11 which culminates in IGCSE examinations and an enriched BTEC option, leading into...

Sixth Form with AS and A Level or BTEC options as pre-university or college qualifications.

In addition to our academic programmes, the school offers a comprehensive range of Co-curricular activities free of charge and an extensive and competitive inter-school sports programme with particular strengths in football, volleyball and swimming.
