  • Raffles Institution is an independent boys' secondary school in Singapore. Founded in 1823 as Singapore Institution by Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, it was consistently ranked as one of the top secondary schools in Singapore in the now-defunct official school rankings released by the Ministry of Education. RI was also recognised for excellence in both education processes and outcomes, and was awarded the pinnacle award of MOE's Masterplan of Awards, the School Excellence Award. Raffles Institution offers the Integrated Programme, also known as the Raffles Programme (RP), together with Raffles Girls' School (Secondary) and Raffles Junior College. It also offers an internal Gifted Education Programme (GEP/RP), but the GEP stream recently merged with the Special/Express Stream into a single stream in 2007. In 2007, the current batch of Secondary 3 students has also been merged into a single stream. A new programme, the Raffles Academy, was also introduced. The current Headmaster of Raffles Institution is Bob Koh Chin Nguang, who took up the post after previous Headmaster Wong Siew Hoong left the school at the end of 2004. A proposed merger with Raffles Junior College has also been established and is currently awaiting approval from MOE. If successful, Raffles Institution and Raffles Junior College will combine into a single institution by 2009. Raffles Girls' School was reported to have rejected the idea of a merger. In addition, a common Board of Governors for Raffles Institution and Raffles Junior College will be implemented with effect from June 2008. (en)
  • |} 莱佛士书院（Raffles Institution）是新加坡的一所公学性质的私立男校。作为新加坡历史最悠久的学校，莱佛士书院一直都是新加坡最顶尖的学校之一，自1993年新加坡教育部发表官方的中学排名以来该校一直保持第一或第二。该校同莱佛士女子中学和莱佛士初级学院一起开设直通车课程，使学生不必参加中学会考直接进入两年制高中学习；此外该校也开设特殊教育课程，面向全新加坡最顶尖的1%学生。 学校由新加坡的发现者及首任总督、英国人斯坦福·莱佛士爵士于1823年6月5日创办，原名新加坡书院（Singapore institution），1868年为纪念莱佛士爵士而更名为莱佛士书院。在该校长达180多年的历史中，培养了新加坡几乎所有重要的政商界人士，包括新加坡的两位总理李光耀与吴作栋。因其特殊的历史背景和仿效西方的办学模式，莱佛士书院一直受到新加坡英语背景家庭的欢迎，学校内学生使用的主要语言也是英语而非华语；这与新加坡另一所名校华侨中学是完全不同的，华侨中学的学生大多都来自华语背景的家庭，也多习惯在日常交流中使用华语。 莱佛士书院与莱佛士女子中学和莱佛士初级学院（两年制的高中）拥有特殊的联系，一般被合称为“莱佛士家族”（Raffles family）。莱佛士书院与莱佛士初级学院相邻、相连，两校之间没有围墙；三所学校也都共享教学资源与设备，也都拥有共同的校歌、校徽和校训。三所学校的校友都将自己称作“Rafflesian”（莱佛士人）。 (zh)
