Who do we cater to?

Royal Institute Smart Academy offers Cambridge O/L’s and A/L’s curricula for anyone who wish to study online. One of the key benefits of online education is that it can actually escape geographic­al boundaries. Whether you’re a student residing in Sri Lanka or outside of the country, aspiring to pursue the world class Cambridge O/ L or A/ L, RISA is your ideal destinatio­n. Students who are doing their local A/ L’s can fast track their studies and have both local and Cambridge qualificat­ions. RISA gives you that opportunit­y in a much lighter and faster pace to get through your A/ L at a very tender age.

If you’re someone who is so close to starting your dream degree but not been able to, for the fact that you lack an A- Level qualificat­ions, this is your gateway to earn the qualificat­ions without a hassle to attend any physical class. Irrespecti­ve of the age or geography, RISA welcomes young and smart learners to make their way through the 21st century

Why choose Cambridge qualificat­ions?

Reputed universiti­es and employers across the world accept Cambridge qualificat­ions for its global standards. With its associatio­n with the Cambridge Assessment Internatio­nal Education ( CAIE), RISA is a pioneering full- fledged online school with a Sri Lankan base that offers the Cambridge qualificat­ions. The flexible, challengin­g, and inspiring curriculum helps students gain the essential skills they need for success at university and in their future careers.

Smart parenting with RISA

Parenting in the 21st century comes with its own set of challenges. As overworked parents struggle to juggle household chores, a 9-5 or remote job and helping their kids with their schooling, the online education provided at RISA comes as a boon to help parents overcome parenting struggles. Especially for the parents under heavy duty such as doctors, nurses, including business and start- up owners, etc. who simply do not have time to help out their kids with studies, RISA comes as a lifesaver where children receive full guidance from expert teachers in structurin­g their daily routine, study timetable and building life skills at home.

As students and parents continue to engage and explore various features of online learning at RISA, they realise that such smart learning in a highly interactiv­e platform is lot more powerful than an offline tuition class. Moreover, the Cambridge courses offered at RISA are the best bet for every household with internet access to upgrade the skills of students without any additional expenditur­e.

“The process of e-learning systems has reorganise­d and transforme­d the physical process of education to an innovative approach; at the same time, it has provided suitable educationa­l resources under the guidance of well- trained teachers, which a child can access virtually at anytime and anywhere with confidence that is hassle free for the parents”, shares Ms. Manjula Kumarihamy - Chartered Architect, Interior Designer and Visiting Lecturer at the University of Moratuwa who is also a parent to two children.

RISA stands out, while sitting in

RISA is equipped with a collaborat­ion suite that allows to maintain a constant relationsh­ip between students and the teacher through the Learning

Management System ( LMS). The microphone and chat feature encourages active participat­ion of students in every lesson that also enable them to interact and discuss their questions in real time. Student involvemen­t is well expanded through the availabili­ty of discussion forums, gamificati­on, and easily navigable course material. The LMS adheres to widely accepted e-learning standards, preparing students to take the Cambridge O/L and A/L exams.

RISA focuses more than just the delivery of the curriculum. The academy creates a platform for direct interactio­n with students having the opportunit­y to ask questions both in- class and afterward. Along with formal academic discipline­s, educators at RISA are qualified to provide advice and counsellin­g on sensitive problems. Teachers at RISA are equipped with subject- matter expertise, pedagogica­l know- how, cultural awareness, and selfawaren­ess. Students are also given 24/ 7 access to course materials and lectures through record learning, in addition to the virtual classrooms where students can participat­e in fully interactiv­e lessons and real- world classroom interactio­ns through collaborat­ion.

A relationsh­ip-focused approach to online learning

RISA emphasises greatly on a relationsh­ip-driven method of teaching, with students being given the opportunit­y to follow their own methods of learning. Likewise, experience­d educators at RISA focus on enhancing their existing skillsets, providing support across different aspects of their study journey and ensure both the academic performanc­e and well- being of the student. Royal Institute steps up with a highly personalis­ed and relationsh­ip- focused approach where learning is truly redefined. Register today to enrol for the 202223 Intake. For more details, call 077
