Our Pedagogy

The Heart of Our Founding Vision

RD American School was founded with a vision to reimagine education, and we proudly introduce our Flourish Framework. This distinctive program is thoughtfully constructed and is based on a deep understanding of how children learn best. It fosters curiosity, nurtures creativity and builds confidence, all supported by the belief that every learner can thrive and grow if provided the right environment.

The Six Pillars of Learning

Learning How to Learn
We equip students with effective thinking strategies and self-reflection skills, enabling them to tackle new ideas and challenges confidently.
A Growth Mindset
We promote the belief that abilities can develop through effort and perseverance, viewing challenges as opportunities for growth.
Wellbeing & Thriving
We focus on the mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing of all community members, fostering a safe and supportive school culture.
Active & Engaged Learning
We create hands-on, inquiry-driven experiences that encourage students to actively participate in their education.
Learning with Relevance & Purpose
We connect classroom learning to real-world issues, helping students appreciate the significance of their education.
Collaboration & Community
We build a strong, inclusive community where students learn from each other, valuing teamwork and shared responsibility.
At RD American School, learning is a journey rooted in curiosity and purpose. We begin by helping students learn how to learn, nurturing confident communicators and thoughtful listeners through reading, writing, storytelling and self-expression. Alongside these skills, we cultivate a growth-mindset, where effort is celebrated, mistakes are welcomed, and every challenge becomes a meaningful step toward resilience and self-discovery.
Our classrooms are alive with active, engaged learning - hands-on, movement-rich and deeply connected to the world around us. Whether exploring nature or testing a design, students experience learning with relevance and purpose, discovering how knowledge applies to real life. With personalized tools and multidisciplinary teaching, we empower each learner to grow at their own pace, in their own way.
At the heart of RD American School is a strong sense of collaboration, community, and well-being. Students learn with and from one another, building empathy, adaptability and global awareness. We care for the whole child - balancing academic challenge with emotional and physical wellness, quiet reflection with joyful play and independence with connection. It is in this nurturing environment that children flourish - not just as learners, but as kind, capable and courageous young people ready to make a difference.
These pillars foster an environment where everyone can grow, connect, and thrive. Research shows that children learn best when they feel safe and supported; flourishing is a prerequisite for deep learning. Our approach is grounded in educational psychology, using proven strategies to enhance memory, motivation, resilience, and critical thinking.

Our Learning Approach

Feel the RD American School Difference

At RD American School, our approach is rooted in the strength of being One Learning Community - where teachers, students, parents and staff come together to support each learner’s growth. This sense of unity is reflected in our unique campus design, featuring flexible, dynamic learning zones that adapt to inspire creativity, collaboration and exploration tailored to evolving learning goals.

One Learning Community  

We are One Learning Community, bringing together teachers, students, parents and staff to support each child's learning journey. The diversity of perspectives and experiences within our school community enriches the learning process and helps provide academic, emotional and social guidance. 

Learning Spaces  

Our campus is built around dynamic learning zones rather than traditional classrooms. Each is a ‘Habitat of Wonder’, thoughtfully designed to support specific subjects like language and literature, science or design. These adaptable spaces foster collaboration, exploration and creativity. Zones remain flexible – one week they may host an art project, and the next, they might transform into a science lab – ensuring that resources and layouts align with evolving learning goals.

Future Expansion
Across all elementary grade levels, we implement the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), developed by the International Curriculum Association (ICA), enriched with distinctive signature programs inspired by Riverdale Country School in New York. These internationally recognized programs, combined with U.S. standards, position RD American students at the forefront of innovative education in Singapore.
Our commitment extends beyond content standards to how children learn best. We believe that students thrive when learning is student-centered, inquiry-based, and differentiated to meet individual developmental levels, abilities, and learning styles. Our educators employ ongoing formative and summative assessments to tailor instruction, foster critical thinking, and nurture creativity. This approach ensures that all students build strong foundational skills while becoming confident, lifelong learners.
The integration of US and International standards provides clear learning targets, along with multiple opportunities for students to demonstrate their knowledge, skills and understandings.  This alignment supports smooth transitions for students moving between international and American educational systems and prepares them for success in college, career, and civic life.
