RISE Korea Jungsan Curriculum/Program 

 

We offer a premium curriculum-based English and leadership training program for children aged 5 to 13. Our program focuses on English language development (reading, writing, listening, speaking), subject-based knowledge (e.g., mathematics, science, social studies), and fostering higher-order thinking skills. We utilize HMH (the largest textbook publisher in the United States), widely used in the U.S., to promote these aspects. This program is recognized by Harvard University professors for its educational curriculum.

1) RISE Kindergarten (Years of 5-7)
Emphasizes overall language development, critical thinking, and creative expression through our unique teaching methods and immersive environment. It is a play-based program where students learn new topics through conversations and theme projects. 

2) RISE Elementary (Years of 8-13)
Is an inductive, student-centered, and inquiry-based learning. Students who are starting English for the first time can learn English step by step through a scientifically designed Premier Course, and students who have been learning English for a long time can develop the same level of English skills as native-speaking English children of the same age through the Honors Course.
