Our Curriculum and Programs
Our programs follow RISE's American play-based curriculum, which focuses on developing language, cognitive, and social-emotional learning through fun, hands-on activities.
We place a special emphasis on listening and speaking, rather than memorization and writing. Our campus also serves as an official TOEFL Junior center, reflecting our confidence in our curriculum and dedication to fostering talented students.
Throughout the year, we plan field trips, host birthday parties, and celebrate holidays through themed events, such as Easter and Thanksgiving.
