Our Curriculum
An Independent school for independent minds
Curriculum for Discovery and Development
Did you know that 90% of brain development happens before the age of 5? That’s why choosing the right preschool curriculum is one of the most important decisions for your child. At Rising Star Academy, we follow the Frog Street® curriculum, trusted by over 300 school districts across Texas and approved by the TEA.
We also use a Montessori preschool curriculum that inspires independence, hands-on learning, and creativity. Each lesson is led by experienced teachers who customize learning to match your child’s needs and learning style.
