The research conducted by a team of professors from Harvard University recognizes RISE’s program as innovative, with the right content, environment and approach for children to learn English effectively.

WHAT DOES THE HARVARD RESEARCH SAY…

1) Recognizes the role of English as an essential language in today’s global society.

Across the world, many of today’s parents aspire for their children to achieve English proficiency in order to participate fully in today’s global society—one where English is the essential language of commerce and daily activities.

2) The Rise Program is innovative and forward-thinking, breaking away from traditional ways of teaching, needed for a 21st century world.

Recognized as a departure from traditional English teaching, the Rise program exemplifies the kind of instructional innovation needed to cultivate English language skills for today’s global society.

3) Rise program integrates four key elements essential for effectively developing English communication and academic skills.

To develop young children's English skills for both communication and academic purposes, four key factors include: 

Language: Proficiency in Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing, vocabulary, and grammar forms a solid foundation for building the elements necessary for a child's development.

Subject-based English: At RISE, English is taught through subjects like Math, Science, and Language Arts without applying any translation. This approach helps children understand and retain lessons more quickly and for longer durations. It also enhances their range of vocabulary across various subjects.

Higher Order Thinking Skills: The method of cultivating higher-order thinking helps children after receiving a problem to:

  • Remembering: The ability to recall concepts and given data.
  • Understanding: Being able to explain ideas or the rules of a problem.
  • Applying: Using information and knowledge in various situations.
  • Analyzing: Building connections between ideas and issues.
  • Evaluating: Providing arguments for one's solutions.
  • Creating: Generating one's own ideas and products. 

Leadership Training Program: Cultivating advanced leadership skills to empower children to be proactive, confident, positive-minded, capable of taking charge, solving problems, and effectively guiding and leading teams. 

4) Rise provides a 21st century learning environment, engaging children through its approach and content:

The environment at RISE fosters learning inside and outside the classroom. RISE helps children approach lessons naturally and without constraints. RISE consistently creates a dynamic learning environment for children to explore expanded knowledge and logical thinking, fostering lifelong learning habits. Additionally, RISE regularly organizes outdoor activities to provide children with real-life experiential learning opportunities, applying learned knowledge to everyday life.


The Harvard White Paper is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and contribution that Rise has made to ensure that children have access to high-quality programs, focused not just on English language capabilities but also 21st century skills.
