Principal

At RISE, we ensure that the child feels as comfortable as he/she does at home. At the same time, we strike a balance by maintaining the discipline of a school. In the process, the child is able to discover his/her skills and talent as he/she is not intimidated by the environment. We offer four programs that are developmentally appropriate and foster all round development with an integral approach, helping your child grow physically, intellectually, emotionally and socially. Our curriculum is packed with real- world, concrete, sensory experience where the young learners can touch, see, taste, hear and smell, thereby striking an interesting balance between learning and playing.

The Principal is accountable to the Board of Directors for the professional leadership, strategic direction and operational management of the school, in order to ensure that the aims and objectives of the Board and the school are implemented in accordance with the school improvement plan and the relevant policies. The Principal is required to monitor, evaluate and review the impact of policies, priorities and targets of the school and to take timely action as necessary. The Board of Directors are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young persons, thus the Principal must ensure that the highest priority is given to following the guidance and regulations which safeguard children and young people.
