Raffles American School

RAS  is  expanding  their  campus  to  include  a  series  of  educational  amenities, enhancing students’ e experience. An indoor athletic complex will include a single and a double gymnasium, gymnastics and several free activity rooms, and a training-and-weights room.  A fully  equipped performing arts centre  will house two venues for  student  productions:  a  state-of-the-art black box  theatre  and an 800  seat  traditional performing arts theater,  complete  with back-of-house and fly-space facilities.

At the northern head of the school, a dramatically  terraced library  and media center  will contain a  digital media lab,  a stacks area,  as well  as a  variety  of  “reading room”  spaces that  will  offer  students inspiring  atmospheres in  which  to  study,  research and collaborate.

The southern end of the library, a 30 person planetarium will give teachers an immersive educational tool  within which to  expand on classroom lessons. A  series of  outdoor courtyards, designed to accommodate fruit and vegetable cultivation,  together with a 160 sq.m greenhouse,  will  allow food  studies to  take  a  more  robust  position  in  a  student’s curriculum.

Classrooms will be Wi-Fi, air-conditioned, and equipped with LCD projectors and document cameras. Both middle and high school will enjoy a fully equipped science and mathematics laboratory.   Ample playground equipment will be dispersed throughout the campus to accommodate student developmental levels.
