A Revolution in Education is Coming to Goa!

After a phenomenal response to the RISE Preschool, Dona Paula, Rising India School of Excellence is all set to open its doors to young minds in Goa — with a model that aims to fix education at the system level, not just the surface level.

Rising India School of Excellence – Goa’s first Apple Enabled IB school with climate controlled campus built for the NEXT GENERATION of learners.

Goa’s parents have long complained about a gap between what schools say and what children actually experience. While many schools advertise global learning, most still rely on traditional classrooms, crowded sections, limited outdoor space, and heavy focus on exams. Parents say their children are stressed, bored, or disengaged, and real learning happens only outside school hours.

The biggest issues they talk about are familiar:

Outdated infrastructure Classrooms in many schools look the same as they did a decade ago. Lab facilities, sports grounds, and creative studios are either limited or inaccessible to younger children. A large number of schools run out of old houses or small campuses, making playtime cramped and irregular.

High student–teacher ratio Too many students in each class means teachers cannot give personal attention or understand different learning styles. Children who learn slower, faster, or differently get left behind.

Lack of hands-on learning Schools talk about experiential education, but most lessons still happen through textbooks and exams. Concepts are memorised, not applied. Robotics, AI, coding, art, music, sports and communication skills are often outsourced to paid after-school classes, creating both inequality and extra pressure.

Weak connection between primary and high school learning Younger children get a playful environment, but by middle school everything turns academic and stressful. The joy of learning fades, and students prepare only for marks.

Shortage of trained faculty and high churn Parents say the real difference lies in teachers. Many schools struggle to hire and retain skilled educators, leading to inconsistent quality in the classroom.

Limited focus on emotional well-being Children today deal with anxiety, peer pressure, and digital distraction, but most schools do not offer counsellors, structured mentorship, or behaviour support.

RISING INDIA SCHOOL OF EXCELLNCE ARRIVES WITH A DIFFERENT PLAN

After a phenomenal response to the RISE preschool, Dona Paula, Rising India School of Excellence is all set to open its doors to young minds in Goa — with a model that aims to fix education at the system level, not just the surface level.

Built on a child-first philosophy, RISE blends future-focused learning, modern infrastructure, and strong emotional support to create an environment where children thrive holistically — academically, socially, and emotionally.

Guided by its mission to empower every learner with future-focused knowledge, essential skills, and strong character through personalized, technology-integrated, and globally

benchmarked education — Rising India School of Excellence prepares children to lead with innovation, integrity, and impact.

Anchored in the vision of becoming a place where India’s future leaders learn to shape the world’s future, Rising India School of Excellence stands for more than just schooling — it’s a movement to bridge the gap between traditional education and the evolving needs of tomorrow’s world.

IB and CBSE under one roof The school will offer both IB and CBSE pathways. Families can choose or transition based on the child’s interest and goals, without switching schools. This also means international-style learning with the stability of Indian assessments.

Low student–teacher ratio (1:15) Each class will have small batches so teachers can understand every child’s strengths, weaknesses, and learning style which will help reduce stress and improve confidence, especially for shy or slow-to-open-up students.

Purpose-built campus The school is being designed as a modern learning space with high-quality classrooms, labs, libraries, digital studios, multipurpose sports courts, football turf, swimming pool, and safe indoor play zones. Infrastructure will not be decorative — it will be used every day as part of the timetable.

Hands-on and skill-based learning from early years Instead of memorising chapters, students will build, test, experiment, present, debate, write, create, and explore. Moreover, robotics, coding, science experiments, language labs, art, music, design, and gardening will be integrated into regular school hours — not as paid add-ons.

This gives students a chance to interact with experts and global peers as part of their schooling.

High-quality teachers The school is building a team of certified IB and CBSE educators with international experience. Training, mentorship, and professional development will be a continuous part of the school system. Retaining strong teachers is a key goal.

Safety and wellness The school will have strong safety protocols, counsellors, student support teams, and a friendly environment where emotional awareness is treated as a life skill, not a side subject.

Early Years DISCOVERY curriculum For preschool and primary, RISE is introducing a proprietary model that focuses on curiosity, creativity, phonics, early numeracy, reading, communication, and motor skills. Young children will learn through stories, music, outdoor play, experiments, art, and exploration.

A school built for today’s child, not yesterday’s system

Rising India School of Excellence aims to create confident, happy, well-rounded learners who are prepared for the real world — not just exams. Students will learn to think, speak, question, debate, solve problems, and collaborate. Sports and art will be treated as important as academics.

The school’s motto is simple: education should not stop at knowledge. It should build character, confidence, and curiosity.

With its dual-curriculum model, advanced campus, small class sizes, and strong focus on future-ready skills, Rising India School of Excellence sets itself apart in a market where most schools look similar on the surface.

If it delivers what it promises, Rising India School of Excellence could become a major education milestone for Goa — a place where children learn, explore, stay curious, and most importantly, love coming to school.
