Our Motto
Dream Big
Rising Stars Academy began from humble beginnings - a small educare centre established in 1996 with a big heart and an even bigger vision. What started with just a handful of children has grown, over nearly three decades, into a full educational institution serving learners from infancy through to matric.
Today, the school operates three specialised divisions on one campus - Rising Stars Educare, Rising Stars Primary, and Rising Stars High - each with dedicated staff, tailored programmes, and age-appropriate facilities. But at its core, Rising Stars has always been more than a school. It is a home away from home, a place where learners and families become part of a close-knit community built on belonging, trust, and personal development.
The sense of community, care and character that defines Rising Stars is something families feel from the moment they walk through the gates. Every child is known by name. Every family is treated as a partner. And every educator is committed to helping learners grow - not just academically, but in confidence, resilience, and character.
Rising Stars Academy is proudly registered with the Western Cape Education Department (WCED).

Aftercare & supervision
Safe
Gated, supervised campus
From the youngest learners in Educare to our high school students, every area of our campus is designed to be safe, stimulating, and child-centred.
Spacious, naturally lit classrooms with age-appropriate learning stations, reading corners, and CAPS-aligned resources - designed so learners feel calm, focused, and ready to engage.
Separate, safe play zones for Educare, Primary, and High School learners give every child the freedom to explore, socialise, and move - supervised at all times by dedicated staff.
Our swimming pool supports swimming lessons that build water safety, confidence, and technique. PE and sports are woven into every phase, encouraging active, healthy development.
From art corners in Educare to project-based activities in Primary and High, our spaces invite curiosity and self-expression. Creative learning is integral to how we teach, not an add-on.
A gated campus, controlled access, and attentive staff mean parents can feel completely confident. Every area of the school is supervised, and our routines are built around predictability and care.
Our aftercare programme extends the school day with structured activities, homework support, and rest - giving working parents peace of mind and children a calm, consistent afternoon routine.
Research consistently shows that a child's physical learning environment has a direct impact on their ability to focus, feel safe, and thrive. When children feel comfortable and stimulated by their surroundings, they become more curious, more confident, and more willing to take the learning risks that lead to real growth - which is why we designed our campus with this in mind at every level.
Predictable routines and caring staff create the emotional foundation children need to learn.
Bright, open classrooms reduce fatigue and improve mood and concentration throughout the school day.
Physical activity - from swimming to outdoor play - is essential for cognitive development and focus.
Creative spaces and hands-on resources encourage children to ask questions and think independently.
