Imagine the future for our children... ...their world will look so different from ours. Anyone who doubts that has only to look back over the past twenty years...  the Internet, WiFi, DVDs, Mobile Phones and MP3 players. Global connection has become one of the most powerful agents of change.  We are becoming increasingly interconnected and people are regularly in contact with other cultures far removed from their own.  International students are forming new and broader global visions and developing an acute awareness of their responsibility to the global community and their power to change the world. Intercultural understanding and respect enable international students to become engaged and informed citizens of the world, able to cross borders and cultures with ease. --------------------------------------------------- Encouraging Young Minds Learning outside the classroom is critical to bringing theory into practice and completing the educational experience for growing minds. Learning leadership through clubs, teamwork through sports, self-expression through the visual arts, and confidence through dramatic arts - it all adds to the fullest stimulation for every part of a maturing child. Raha International School offers a broad and growing range of co-curricular activities designed to enhance the opportunities to learn... not to mention accruing the all-important fun factor that is essential for building healthy and positive attitudes. Bricks and mortar matter. Educators today know the importance of physical space to the experience of young learners. Bright, airy space encourages alertness and a cheerful attitude; larger, flexible classrooms allow for easy group interaction and learning; lots of opportunities for spontaneous socialising build community spirit; and outdoor space for sports and recreation lets them run off steam and just play.
