At Raffles American School Bangkok (RAS), we believe that education is not only about academic excellence — it’s about raising children to be kind, empathetic, and open-minded citizens of the world.
Learning in a Truly Diverse Community
Raffles is a global international school community, where students come from many different nationalities, cultures, and religions.
From the very first day they step onto campus, children grow up surrounded by diversity.
In the classroom, they learn alongside friends from Thailand, Japan, Korea, China, India, the United States, and Europe — discovering that differences are not barriers, but bridges to deeper understanding.
Our teachers follow an Inclusive Education approach — ensuring that every student, regardless of background, language, or learning style, is valued, respected, and supported equally.
Building a Culture of Respect — Not Competition
At Raffles, we teach children that success is not about being better than others, but about becoming a better version of themselves every day.
Teachers emphasize collaboration and empathetic communication, helping students learn to listen, share ideas, and respect differences in perspective.
Every classroom at Raffles is a Safe Space — where students feel free to express themselves without fear of judgment, and where kindness is a core part of daily life.
Raffles Anti-Bullying Culture — Because Kindness Is Our Norm
Raffles follows a strict “Zero Tolerance for Bullying” policy — we do not accept bullying of any kind, whether verbal, physical, or online.
Our teachers and student support teams work closely with every child through Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) programs, helping them develop:
- Self-awareness — understanding their own emotions
- Empathy — recognizing how others feel
- Conflict resolution — managing disagreements with respect and understanding
We also host special community-building events, such as Friendship Week — a week dedicated to kindness, respect, and connection.
During Friendship Week, students participate in activities that strengthen empathy and friendship, such as:
- “Kind Words” Cards — writing messages of encouragement to peers
- Team Challenges — fun games that promote teamwork
- “Respect & Empathy” Workshops — learning how to understand and respond to emotions
- “Buddy Lunch” — pairing students of different ages to share meals and experiences
These experiences teach students to understand others’ feelings, communicate with kindness, and see everyone at school as part of one caring family.
At Raffles, we believe that friendship, empathy, and respect form the foundation of true learning.
Learning Through Understanding, Not Memorization
Raffles believes that a strong community begins with understanding.
That’s why we integrate Social Emotional Learning (SEL) into every grade level — from nursery through high school.
Across all subjects, students learn not only academic knowledge but also life skills such as:
- Managing emotions
- Mindful communication
- Active listening without judgment
- Giving and receiving apologies gracefully
These are the real foundations of an anti-bullying culture — because when children learn to understand others, they no longer use differences to divide or harm.
At Raffles, we believe the heart of education lies in nurturing compassion and understanding.
Every Raffles student learns that:
“Respect is the first step toward true leadership.”
In a safe and caring environment, our students grow into confident, empathetic, and responsible individuals — ready to make a positive impact on the world.

Here, every child grows up in a warm, safe, and multicultural community, learning to love themselves, respect others, and live peacefully together.

but by understanding many cultures.
And at Raffles, that’s exactly what we teach.
