Answer» What is Raffles Institution mean? Raffles Institution (RI) is an independent institution, providing secondary education for boys aged 13–16 through a boys-only Year 1-4 and pre-university education for students aged 17–18 through a co-educational Year 5-6. Founded in 1823, it is the oldest school in Singapore. Since 2007, the school has offered the six-year Integrated Programme, which allows students to bypass the GCE O-Levels, and take the GCE A-Levels instead. Known as the Raffles Programme, it is offered jointly with its sister school, Raffles Girls' School (Secondary), or RGS. RI has had the highest number of admissions to the University of Cambridge, with 35 students receiving offers in the 2019 admissions cycle, and also boasts one of the highest Ivy League admissions rates. reference
