LCentral congratulates RD American School on its opening in Singapore

We’re thrilled to celebrate the launch of RD American School (RDAS), a new American international school opening in January 2026 in partnership with Riverdale Country School, ranked the #1 K-12 private school in America (2025). This partnership brings a century-plus of academic excellence and a globally respected model of character, well-being, and innovation to families in Singapore.

What makes RDAS exceptional

• Powered by cognitive science.
  RDAS designs learning around the science of how children learn-building metacognition, memory, and transfer so students can apply knowledge meaningfully across contexts.

• A true partnership with Riverdale Country School.
  RDAS benefits from Riverdale’s ongoing professional development, shared programs, and academic standards-ensuring aligned curriculum, instruction, and assessment with one of America’s most distinguished schools.

• World-class educators, training, and learning spaces.
  Teachers are supported by sustained, research-informed training (including expertise connected to Teachers College, Columbia University), while students learn in innovative, purpose-built environments that foster focus, creativity, and collaboration.

• A comprehensive elementary program.
  RDAS blends U.S. and international standards (including Singapore Math principles) and offers a rich school life that nurtures curiosity, resilience, and global citizenship.
