When we first moved to Malaysia, we naturally enrolled our daughter into a well-known British school. At the time, it seemed the sensible choice: familiar curriculum, large student body, and the highest fees. However, after three years, we came to see that with her athletic commitments not fitting into the school schedule, alongside other issues, it was no longer the right environment for her. Our journey with Raffles American School has been positive from the very beginning. From the first interaction with Karran and the admissions team, we were struck by the professionalism, the seamless tour, and the thoughtful follow-up. During the tour we were amazed by the facilities鈥攎any of which we never imagined a school could offer. For children like ours, passionate about sport and the arts, it felt like a dream: two football fields, a full athletics track, an Olympic-sized saltwater swimming pool, four tennis courts, an auditorium, a dance studio, and a black box theatre. Meeting Superintendent Dr Alex was refreshing and immediately reminded us of our previous experiences in Qatar, where education providers are world-class. The prescience of top leadership within the school environment is something we truly value, and it touched our hearts to know that he takes the time to welcome children personally, addressing them by name. Equally, the daily drop-off has become a joy to witness. Mr Elliott is consistently there to greet the students each morning, and it makes such an impact for young children to feel acknowledged, seen, and heard by leadership. These small but powerful gestures create a culture where children feel genuinely cared for. Karran also gave us complete reassurance about the academic side, carefully explaining how the American AP curriculum translates seamlessly into university opportunities across the UK, Australia, America, and Singapore. Her knowledge and guidance gave us real confidence about our children鈥檚 academic future. Before starting, both our children underwent MAP testing, which gave us a clear understanding of their academic levels during the transition from British to American curriculum. We are thrilled with how the school has used this information鈥攏ot only tailoring learning to suit them but also giving access to platforms they genuinely enjoy using. These resources are fun, interactive, and help them gain mastery in subjects they find tricky; which was to be expected after the curriculum change but has had little to no negative impact thanks to the wonderful support and tools in place. Another highlight for us as parents has been the excellent communication through the school app. It allows us to remain closely connected to their daily lives, see what they are working on, and naturally opens conversations at home about what they are
