Grade-Level Core Curriculum Materials

Close up of Rising Students

At Rising Academies, we believe that every child deserves the chance to master foundational skills — no matter where they go to school. Our Primary English and Math grade level curriculum materials, consisting of daily lesson guides for Grade 1-6 and ECE 1-2, are designed to make that vision a reality.

Grounded in the science of learning, our curriculum is built on an evidence-based structured pedagogical approach. Developed with real classrooms in mind, the curriculum is highly practical and designed to work in low-resource settings. Lessons are carefully sequenced and easy to follow, with step-by-step guidance, engaging activities, and built-in assessments that support clear, confident delivery and lead to consistent, measurable learning gains — even in large or multi-grade classrooms. 

Our grade-level curriculum is aligned to national curriculum standards and sequenced to support students’ progression in key competencies, with a strong focus on early literacy and numeracy — the building blocks of lifelong learning. It is designed to be context-specific, reflecting students’ social and cultural contexts to ensure that learning is both relevant and meaningful. This helps students see the value of what they learn and how it connects to their world.

Whether schools are looking to improve foundational outcomes, accelerate recovery, or roll out a new national strategy, the Rising grade-level curriculum offers a flexible and scalable solution — ready to implement, easy to adapt, and proven to work.
