For families relocating to Malaysia, particularly those establishing a base in Johor, the quality of education is a primary consideration. In the heart of Iskandar Puteri’s burgeoning educational corridor, Raffles AmericanSchool (RAS) has emerged as a leading institution, offering a sophisticated North American curriculum within a world-class environment designed for global citizens.

Academic Flexibility: AP and IB Pathways

RAS is unique in Johor for offering high school students a choice between two prestigious academic tracks. This flexibility allows students to aligntheir education with their specific university aspirations:

• Advanced Placement (AP): Centered on North American standards, allowing students to earn university credits during high school.
• International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma: A globally recognized program emphasizing critical thinking and     holistic research.
• WASC Accreditation: Every graduate earns a Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) accredited diploma, accepted by universities worldwide.

A 46-Acre "Terraced" Campus

The school’s physical environment is as impressive as its academics. Designed by the renowned firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), the campus is structured into three "terraces" to provide age-appropriate zones for elementary, middle, and high school students.

• Innovation: Features a dedicated on-campus Planetarium—the only one of its kind in a Southeast Asian K-12 school—and 10 high-tech science laboratories.
• Arts & Athletics: Includes an 800-seat auditorium, an Olympic-size swimming pool, indoor gymnasiums, and a 400-meter stadium track.

Expert Faculty and Personalized Care

The "Raffles Advantage" lies in its educators. The school recruits internationally certified teachers—primarily from the USA, UK, Canada and Australia—ensuring high standards of native English instruction. With a low 1:7 teacher-to-student ratio, RAS provides a level of personalized attentionthat fosters both academic success and character development.
