Our Curriculum Framework

The BRICKS Approach

Six pillars that build the foundation of every child's experience at Arise.

B

Bilingual Immersion

Each child benefits from equal exposure to both the English and Chinese Language in a bilingual environment.

R

Reciprocal Partnership

A family-centred environment in which parents and teachers work together to achieve shared goals.

I

Integrated Programme

Our combined Core and Creative curriculum provides holistic growth for every child.

C

Character Building

Character development can shape a child for life. As a faith-based preschool, children will learn moral and spiritual values through stories, songs and weekly devotions.

K

Key to Learning

A unique and inspiring programme of cognitive development activities based on Vygotsky's theory of learning. It creates the right conditions for minds to open, where learning becomes a pleasure and creativity flourishes.

S

Sustainable Biodiversity

Nature cultivates and grows a child's innate sense of wonder and curiosity. Our close proximity to the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve presents opportunities for children to experience outdoor learning at their doorstep, where they can explore and learn.

Bilingual Immersion

Equal exposure. Real fluency.

Every Arise classroom has both an English-speaking and a Mandarin-speaking teacher present every day. Children move naturally between the two languages through play, storytelling, song, and routine — the way fluent speakers actually develop.

  • check_circle 50/50 English & Mandarin throughout the day
  • check_circle Native-speaker teachers in both languages
  • check_circle Storytelling, songs, and play as primary methods
  • check_circle Cultural appreciation woven through both
