Becoming Greater Me

Since inception, RP has distinguished itself with its innovative problem-based learning pedagogy. RP has continued to push the frontier in educational excellence, through bold curriculum changes designed to enrich and empower its students' learning experiences.

Starting from Academic Year 2025, the Becoming Greater Me paradigm will shape RP students’ journeys, combining intellect and emotion to inspire purpose-driven decisions. This approach aligns the students' passions and goals with both academic and life paths—now and beyond graduation.
