Rising Star Child Development Centre

Rising Star Child Development School is an established private school, registered under the Ministry of Education, that provides early-childhood and elementary education in Brunei. First established in 1999, the school aims to cater to the healthy development of young children including those with special needs.

Rising Star Child Development School’s mission is to provide a quality, comprehensive early childhood environment that will nurture and facilitate in the growth and development of young children.

Rising Star’s philosophy is based on meeting the developmental needs of the children. It is based on the concept that all children can learn the skills essential to succeed in life, that each child learns at their own rate and that success in learning will develop the child’s sense of self. We respect families as the primary and most important providers of care and nurturing and we believe parents and teachers are partners in children’s care and education.

We provide opportunities for social, emotional, intellectual and physical growth. The roll of the teachers is to facilitate children’s growth and development by providing a curriculum that builds and constructs new knowledge with a clear understanding of each child’s current development.

Rising Star’s Kindergarten classes has been carefully designed to meet the developmental needs of the young child. The classes have a ratio of 1 teacher to 9 children. The teacher becomes the link between the enriched learning didactics and what the child experiences, discovers and understands. Children are provided with opportunities to learn independence while developing their cognitive, social, emotional, and physical skills. Children also become a part of a classroom learning community where they utilize their grace and courtesy skills and internal discipline.

Rising Star Child Development School aims to provide mainstream inclusive education for children with special needs, supported by its Child Development Unit (CDU) to help its students with learning difficulties and special needs conditions such as Autism Spectrum Disorders and ADHD.

Rising Star Child Development School (RSS) is based on the premise that every child has a right to an education. It is our responsibility to maximize the academic, social and physical potential of each and every child. It is also our responsibility to provide a nurturing, structured and safe environment in which to learn.

Recognizing that children with special learning needs benefit from a multifaceted approach to learning, Rising Star School can provide each special needs student with an individualized programme addressing Social Emotional Development, Expressive/Receptive Language, Fine/Gross Motor Skills, Self-Help Skills and Cognitive Development. The School adheres to a team-based approach, maintaining continuous and open communication with teachers, therapists, parents and the management.

Our programs highlight an appropriate teacher-student ratio, well-qualified teaching staff, various support services and active mainstream integration. Programs foster each student’s well-being and promote the process of reaching his or her highest potential.
