Ruamrudee International School – Early Years Campus (RISE) follows an American-style curriculum tailored for children aged 18 months to 5 years. The program incorporates the Reggio Emilia approach, emphasizing inquiry-based, experiential learning through themed units called "investigations." Core areas include early literacy, numeracy, social-emotional learning, science, and creative expression. Students also participate in specialist classes in Thai language, music, art, library, dance and drama, and values education. Kindergarten students build foundational skills to transition smoothly into Grade 1 at the RIS Minburi campus, which continues with the American curriculum and International Baccalaureate programmes from Grade 11 onwards. Classrooms are designed to support hands-on, play-based learning, with facilities including a central atelier (art studio), nature-inspired playgrounds, and STEAM resources.
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.

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.
