The school puts a great focus on a sense of community. If you as a student are willing to put your input into the class and school's values then you will have a great time. The teachers are kind and most are ready to build a great bond with you over the years that you are active in the school.

Overall

My son left RISS two years ago after taking the IGCSE. I feel that the previous review is too critical of the school. The school teachers were mostly motivated and offered great help to my son. There were also many interactive lessons which made my son better engaged in learning. However, I agree with the assessment of the two worst teachers. Yes, the head of middle years was a very stubborn and inconsiderate man. He really annoyed us during our year at the school, but he鈥檚 nothing compared to the ICT teacher. He was a complete brute without a speck of decency. He will regularly curse students, berate them for doing the right thing, and never apologize. I don鈥檛 know if he had such high intelligence or fantastic skills to excuse his abrasive behavior, but the school kept him anyway. If you鈥檙e planning to send your kid to RISS junior campus, don鈥檛 do it until the school fires that teacher for good.
