R.I.S.E. Programme
In a world where reading and writing open every major door, not every child starts on a level playing field. Some lack an English speaking environment at home, while others miss out on crucial early concepts, leaving gaps in their foundation.
To bridge this gap, the innovative RISE programme was conceptualised and run by School of Concepts (SOC). Standing for Rebuilding Interests Sowing Empowerment, this transformative English literacy initiative is designed specifically to rebuild young learners foundation in reading, writing, comprehension, and communication, giving every child the opportunity to excel.
As part of the mission at School of Concepts (SOC), RISE levels the playing field through two specialized pathways.
Through our continued collaboration with the Boon Lay Youth Network, we are able to extend the programme's reach to children residing in the Boon Lay area, ensuring they have access to these valuable educational resources. In addition, the RISE Programme is also offered to students in Jurong East, allowing us to support and benefit a wider community of young learners.

For children who are just beginning their literacy journey or struggling to grasp the basics, RISE Reading steps in to reset and rebuild.
- The Goal:
Reconstruct a learner core fundamentals and early concepts in reading, writing, and spelling. - Who it is for:

2. RISE PE: Refining and Expanding Skills

Designed for students who can already read, write, and spell simple words but need to refine their abilities and deepen their understanding. - The Experience:
