Welcome to RISE Ilsan Janghang!
We believe that young learners thrive when they’re given the freedom to think, explore, and speak for themselves. Our program is built around this belief—designed to spark curiosity and joy through meaningful, hands-on experiences. By incorporating science experiments, art projects, cooking, games, and real-world adventures like field trips, we give students a chance to learn English through play. Our campus is directly managed by RISE headquarters, which provides administrative support to our staff.

Our Curriculum and Programs
Our curriculum is built on theme-based learning, where each unit invites students to explore big ideas through fun, immersive activities. With every theme, children are encouraged to think, investigate, and express themselves in English.
Our campus also offers the RISE BTR (Book to RISE) reading program, where students read books matched to their reading level and take part in activities like book reports, discussions, and debates.

Our RISE K program emphasizes language development, critical thinking, and creativity by blending structured academic lessons with interactive activities that enhance speaking, reading, writing, listening, and leadership abilities.

Employment
Work Environment & Teacher Expectations
We offer a supportive and collaborative environment where teachers, whether experienced or new, can thrive. Half of our teaching staff is made up of native English speakers from around the world, with many coming from North America. We value the diverse perspectives they bring and encourage all our teachers to infuse energy, creativity, and adaptability into our play-based learning activities, inspiring and engaging young learners. New teachers complete a day of online training, which is followed by on-campus training that covers methodologies and classroom management.
