  • Responsibilities and experiences of life to promote pupil’s self-esteem and emotional well-being and to help them form and maintain a worthwhile and satisfying relationship, based on respect for themselves and others.
  • The curriculum emphasises the development of knowledge, understanding, skills, and attitudes necessary for self-fulfilment and development as active and responsible citizens.

What Sets Us Apart

We have a rich heritage of success in the provision of holistic, transformative and quality education. We do this in a secure and safe learning environment. We offer individualised supervision to optimise learning. At RIS learning is backed by a robust and ultra-modern ICT infrastructure. Our learning is enriched by different co-curricular programmes that help identify and nurture our students’ talents and abilities while improving and enhancing their physical and social development. Ours is a school for all nations: a multiracial and multi-cultural institution where learning takes place in an atmosphere of respect and care.

At The Riara International School, we solve critical and complex global problems with the help of quality education.

Riara International School prides itself in the provision of holistic experience where each student’s intrinsic learning strengths are not just unearthed but also nurtured to their possible fullness. This is attained through bringing together the diverse experiences brought by both teaching and non-teaching staff members who have experience in their field and documentary evidence of their achievements.

The Link Centre

Riara International School takes prides in being an inclusive school. We recognise that students with various learning challenges have specific needs, so we ensure that interventions are put in place to help them reach their true potential. To this end, RIS has a dedicated department called The Link Centre where two members of the teaching staff, working with a shadow teacher, assess students and develop targeted interventions. The interventions are then integrated into class activities.

To buttress the development of 21st century skills in students, the school has numerous curricular activities, encouraging a seamless relationship between what is learnt in and out of class. Activities include the School Annual Concert and the Book Week celebration, events that boost communication, performance, confidence and literacy skills. Maths Mania and the Science Fair challenge students’ critical thinking and encourage curiosity and the development of analytical skills.
