Our Motto

“Sonhe Alto”

Dream Big

Our Story

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 accredited by the Western Cape Education Department (WCED).

Note to confirm: There are conflicting references to the school's age — one document references 30 years of excellence, another references 35 years, and the founding date is noted as 1996. Please confirm the correct figure before publishing.
