If you are looking for a rigorous academic preschool, I don't think Arise Kindy is it. There is no spelling at K1 so far.

I have sent a registration form for my kid’s next year nursery. I am very concerned about their teaching of moral value during bible studies. I am concern if the teachers will do a good job in this aspect. Any advise/opinion?

Hi,

Both my kids graduated from Arise Kindergarten…younger one just finished K2 last year.

Arise uses a learn-thru-play approach. Enrolment has definitely increased over the past 4 years and kids are on wait list for morning session. Guess the reason is bcos there are more residential estates around here over the years.

There is EL spelling for K2 from Term 2 onwards. 听写 in the form of character and hanyu pinyin is rather challenging too, to prepare the K2s for P1. There is much emphasis on reading too.

Hi Janet
Thank you for sharing. What about the character development? Are the teachers good at teaching moral/values to the kids?

Arise is a Christian kindy...morale values wise, I would say it's not bad. Academic work is getting challenging too, even at K1. Be prepared to see eye-opening CL spelling at K2. :shock:
