The ELL (English Language Learning) programme is an academic support scheme for students whose first language is not English and who need additional practice to meet grade-level academic standards. The programme focuses on developing interpersonal communication skills and cognitive academic language proficiency. It uses WIDA international standards and RAS learning outcomes to determine progress, proficiency, and grades.

The EIP (English Immersion Program) is a one-year programme for applicants to Grades 3–10 who arrive with little or no English. Its goal is for students to become independent language learners with the skills to integrate into the mainstream curriculum at their grade level.

The school believes that sport should first and foremost be a healthy, safe activity and a channel for enjoyment and social connection. As a complement to academics, the athletics programme not only instils discipline and sportsmanship but also builds critical-thinking, interpersonal, and communication skills, striving to reflect the RAS Global Learning Outcomes.

Middle School Discovery Week is a group outdoor education programme that pushes students beyond their comfort zones, tests their abilities, and teaches them to cope with unfamiliar environments. The outdoor education programme aims to develop ecologically and environmentally literate students who appreciate and understand nature and recognise the importance of sustainability for the future. By the end of the programme, students will have acquired more than 30 technical skills, including camping, sailing, provisioning food, water transport, and other categories. Every activity throughout the programme focuses on developing problem-solving, organisation, collaboration, reflection, and communication skills.

High School Discovery Week builds on the experience and skills gained in Middle School by travelling to more distant destinations and digging deeper into specific areas of interest, advancing students' intellectual development and testing the limits of their physical comfort. High School Discovery Week trips are project-based and focus on contemporary global issues. A trip to Borneo, for example, might be guided by the question: "How does habitat loss in Sabah affect biodiversity and the economy?" Trips centred on global issues give students the opportunity to identify real-world problems and seek answers, nurturing curious, globally minded citizens.
