Raffles Institution
Raffles Institution (formerly Singapore Institution), is the oldest school in Singapore, founded in 1823 at Bras Basah. The Raffles Institution is a well-known Lower Secondary and Upper Secondary (ages 13-17) school in Singapore.
The Raffles Institution's anthem and motto is "Auspicium Melioris Aevi", Latin for "Hope for a better age".
The school relocated from Bras Basah to Grange Road in 1973 and to Bishan in 1990.
The five houses of Raffles, which are not all named after the school's principals, are Moor, Morrison, Buckley, Bayley, and Hullett. Buckley is named after a former secretary to the headmaster. Hullett is named after the Raffles Institution's longest-lasting headmaster.
