Expanding possibilities and opportunities at Royal Institute Smart Academy

Royal Institute Smart Academy (RISA), a unique introduction to the educational landscape of Sri Lanka, was birthed by Royal Institute to cater to learners who look for opportunities beyond the classroom walls of a school. With over 50 years of exceptional experience in the domain of education in Sri Lanka, Royal Institute strives to achieve excellence by offering worldclass education and opportunities to young learners and RISA ushers in new possibilities for learners across the world to excel in all walks of life to become resplendent global citizens. Learners have an added advantage of being a step ahead of others through their access to RISA that enables learners to experience independent learning combined with modern teaching and learning techniques in a conducive learning environment that empowers them to strive for excellence.

Dual qualification at RISA

Royal Institute Smart Academy offers Cambridge O/Ls and A/Ls curricula to learners who prefer to study online, beyond the traditional classroom space; this allows learners to learn and progress at their own pace which is a unique feature encouraged at RISA. As such, students residing outside Sri Lanka have the privilege of pursuing world-class educational qualifications under the expertise of qualified educators. Furthermore, students who are currently following the national A/L curriculum at any school in Sri Lanka, have an exceptional possibility to fast track their academic journey and acquire both local and Cambridge qualifications. Thereby, the students will be equipped with double qualifications at a young age that will enable them to be the ones who stand out in a crowd. The capacity of the learners increases when they strive to multitask and engage in an effort to obtain two qualifications as opposed to just one. The opportunities that await such learners are countless and they will undoubtedly achieve greater heights. Saying yes to a dual qualification is a choice and decision learners can make through RISA that has paved the way for learners to have a unique advantage over their peers.

Why Cambridge qualifications?

Cambridge qualifications are recognised and accepted by organisations and universities across the globe for the standards set and maintained by Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE). The Cambridge curriculum offers learners skills that are essential in this modern day and age; 21st century skills are incorporated in the curriculum to empower and transform learners to be able to strive for excellence in the world beyond the school with confidence. Functioning as a fully-fledged online school affiliated with CAIE, RISA is known for the flexible learning environments, diverse opportunities, expertise of highly-qualified teachers and above all the dual qualification students can acquire in Sri Lanka by studying at their own pace in the comfort of their homes. The advantage of having an extra Cambridge A/L qualification in addition to the local A/L qualification is the acceptance and recognition a learner will receive in the higher education sector and the corporate world compared to a student with just one local qualification.

The experience for parents

Parents have the liberty to explore the highly innovative and interactive learning management system used at RISA; the techniques and strategies employed to keep the students actively engaged in the process of learning are commendable and parents can feel free to monitor or supervise their children while they access the learning material and interactive sessions. RISA gives you the assurance that your children will be looked after and catered to even in your absence. With the busy work schedules parents struggle to strike a balance between household chores, parenting, work and of course the burden of monitoring their children’s academic progress. Children who have enrolled at RISA will be able to testify of the exceptional guidance and skills they procure to organise their daily routines; they become independent learners and reliable citizens of the society as they learn to take responsibility, learn life skills and acquire extra qualifications that will secure them better opportunities. The Cambridge qualifications will, without a doubt, give them a head start in their higher education and professional career and all of that at a cost that is unmatchable to the heavy charges learners might have to pay for private classes or extra tuition that do not cater to a learner’s growth, maturity and success in life. We give you the assurance that your child will be guided and groomed through the online learning platform by exceptional experts in the field of education and you do not have to sacrifice your professional career or struggle to make decisions with regard to their education.

Why choose RISA?

Pioneering smart learning in Sri Lanka, RISA focusses on nurturing learners through a virtual platform that go beyond just offering an academic curriculum; learners are given the privilege of accessing counselling services, live interaction with teachers with personal attention, 24/7 access to learning material and lectures and the exposure to a relationship-focused approach to learning that truly redefines online education in Sri Lanka. Collaboration and interaction in virtual classrooms with learners from diverse communities, cultures and countries will also be an added advantage as learners acquire the exposure to thrive amidst diversity. Above all, having an extra Cambridge qualification will be the icing on the cake for students who follow the national A/L curriculum for they will receive favour and recognition for being better than the rest. RISA will always strive to offer nothing but the best for the learners who knock on our doors looking for better opportunities and qualifications.
