Approach to Teaching

RIA’s teachers are highly qualified subject specialists and are united by their enthusiasm for their individual subjects. They also strongly believe in the transformative power of education and take great pride in playing their part in shaping young minds and preparing them for the challenges of the world beyond school.

We want pupils to feel that they have had a mental ‘work out’ in lessons, just as they have a physical one on the sports field, and to be very conscious of how their skills and knowledge are improving. To that end, lessons are characterized by a high degree of challenge, driven by inspirational teachers using a pedagogical practice based on established and successful methods blended with the most effective of recent teaching innovations.
