Raffles Girls' School (Secondary) is an independent girls' secondary school in Singapore. RGS was recognised by the Ministry of Education in 2006 by being awarded the School Excellence Award (recognising schools with 'exemplary school processes and practices'), among other awards. It has been consistently ranked as one of the top among secondary schools in Singapore in the official annual school rankings published by the Ministry of Education.
RGS offers the first four years of the Integrated Programme in the Raffles Programme, together with Raffles Institution, which allows students to proceed directly to Raffles Institution (Year 5-6) without taking the GCE 'O' Levels. It was also one of the first few schools to offer the Gifted Education Programme.
It is not officially affiliated with Raffles Girls' Primary School, despite having a common history.

Famous quotes containing the word school:
“I’m not making light of prayers here, but of so-called school prayer, which bears as much resemblance to real spiritual experience as that freeze-dried astronaut food bears to a nice standing rib roast. From what I remember of praying in school, it was almost an insult to God, a rote exercise in moving your mouth while daydreaming or checking out the cutest boy in the seventh grade that was a far, far cry from soul-searching.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
