Welcome to RISE Bundang!

 

At RISE Bundang, we don’t just teach—we ignite a love for learning through exploration and creativity! We bring language to life with cooking and creative projects that offer practical learning opportunities. Our play-based curriculum helps children build vocabulary, social skills, and curiosity in an immersive, playful setting. 

 

Alongside language learning, we place great importance on the care we give our students. Every lesson and activity is backed by a dedicated team of teachers who support each child’s growth. Our campus is directly managed by RISE headquarters, which means that our teachers receive the utmost care and support from our dedicated team.

Our Curriculum and Programs

 

Our curriculum is designed to make English both accessible and enjoyable to young learners. Through engaging activities like story time and movie time, students naturally build listening skills and develop strong comprehension. Opportunities for speaking, from classroom Show & Tell to national speech contests, help students gain confidence and express themselves in English. To reinforce daily learning, our campus also offers a dedicated homework class where students review and practice what they’ve learned in class.

 

 

Our RISE K program emphasizes language development, critical thinking, and creativity by blending structured academic lessons with interactive activities.
 

Textbooks & Resources:

  • Our curriculum includes Houghton Mifflin Harcourt’s Journeys and custom RISE WISE workbooks created by our R&D team.

 

Blended Learning - RISE On e-learning:

  • With RISE-On, students can revisit lessons and evaluate their progress through our AI-enhanced system.

Employment

 

 

Work Environment & Teacher Expectations

 

Our collaborative environment welcomes experienced professionals and passionate newcomers alike. We look for teachers who bring creativity, energy, and a can-do attitude to the classroom—people who truly enjoy working with kids and making learning fun.  Most of our native English-speaking teachers come from the U.S., Canada, and the U.K., but we welcome any native speaker with a passion for teaching young learners. New teachers must complete a day of online training along with on-site training.
