Raffles Prep Academy: A-Level Program Coordinator

Raffles Prep Academy was established as a program for children who are looking to focus exclusively on English language learning with the goal of eventually being accepted to join Raffles American School as students. The Prep Academy serves children who wish to focus on English language learning for one month periods. For those older children looking to only do A-Level coursework, a new component is being added to RPA - the A-Level courses with an eye on university acceptance afterward.

The A-Level Program Coordinator is responsible for the overall academic leadership, compliance, and quality assurance of the A-Level programme (Cambridge/Edexcel). This role oversees curriculum planning, teacher management, examinations administration, and student academic progress. The Coordinator ensures that all A-Level operations meet international standards and supports students’ academic success and university progression.

This position is ideal for an experienced educator who is passionate about academic excellence, programme quality, and helping students achieve strong outcomes.
