Welcome to RISE Guri!
We believe that true learning begins with curiosity and joy. Our approach is grounded in thinking-centered education, where students are encouraged to reflect. Instead of simply giving the right answer, we guide our learners to discover their own path by asking questions, making connections, and building the confidence to express their thoughts. Our campus is directly managed by RISE headquarters, which manages school operations and provides administrative support to our team.
Liz, Principal of RISE Guri

Our Curriculum and Programs
We believe learning should be hands-on and fun! We incorporate events like Movie Day, which allows students to watch and discuss films. Cooking classes encourage students to follow instructions, develop fine motor skills, and express their creativity. Themed events like Candyland Day—based on the classic board game—create exciting opportunities for students to collaborate and communicate in English through fun, interactive activities.



Our RISE K program nurtures language growth, critical thinking, and creativity by pairing academic lessons with fun, hands-on activities.
