Overall

My daughter graduated from RISS two years ago so I can give you a good perspective on it. RISS is good if you鈥檇 like to spend carefree high school years, but think twice if you鈥檙e aiming for high grades. I鈥檒l just show you what this means in terms of teachers, lessons, students and facilities. #1. Teachers. Most teachers are kind and friendly but aren鈥檛 knowledgeable. They like talking to students but most don鈥檛 have the know-how to make them succeed. Keep in mind this is what most teachers are like. There were two terrible teachers during my daughter鈥檚 time at RISS. One was the ICT teacher. He was incredibly brusque, shouting at students, kicking chairs and raving at an innocent child. The guy was an utter brute. What鈥檚 surprising is that the school never fired him. The other was the head of middle years. He was incredibly pig-headed and inconsiderate. This guy hated solving serious issues, even when they were urgent. He鈥檚 since left school. #2. Lessons. There鈥檙e good lessons in early years but they progressively deteriorate. At JC, there were a lot of hands-on learning like experiments, craft, etc. The IB teachers are unmotivated stock giving boring lectures. Some of them aren鈥檛 clever enough to answer basic questions, so I had to pull out books with my daughter. Just to add, there鈥檙e huge discrepancies in teacher quality across different subjects. Generally, geography, history, English and economics teachers do a good job while STEM teachers are a crap. #3. Students. Academically most students are mediocre. But personality-wise, they鈥檙e confident, mature for their age, and caring. RISS students are generally better at assignments than written tests. Sports, arts and music aren鈥檛 a big part of RISS culture. The students are more cooperative than competitive. #4. Facilities. There鈥檙e a library, science labs and a playground. The library has many books from university textbooks to novels. The science labs are poorly equipped for IB standard - they don鈥檛 have motion sensors, centrifuge or oscilloscope. The playground is dark, small and dull.
