Ruamrudee International School Early Years Campus (RISE), launched in August 2020, serves children aged 18 months to 5 years, offering Playgroup through Kindergarten on its 2.4‑acre site in Bangkok’s eastern Khlong Sam Wa district. Classes are small and led by certified early‑childhood teachers trained in the Reggio Emilia approach, supported by instructional aides and nannies. RISE follows a child‑centred American curriculum, aligned with RIS Minburi, enriched with Reggio‑inspired units of investigation, sensory art, Seed‑to‑Table organic gardening, and a nature‑inspired playground and atelier space. Specialist subjects including Thai language, music, art, theatre & dance, and values are integrated weekly. A signature feature is the Seed‑to‑Table program, where children plant, observe and harvest fresh produce in pesticide‑free garden beds. This experiential environment is designed to nurture curiosity, creativity, and readiness for primary education.
