Arise Education Centre

Why the Castle Venue Matters

As we step into this new season at Arise Education Centre, we are becoming increasingly aware that this move was not just practical — it was deeply significant.

The Castle Venue reflects the very heart and vision of Arise.
Arise has always been about return.
Returning to His ancient ways — the paths that lead to peace, as the Word says.

Returning to what was lost, stolen, or forgotten.
This journey is about reclaiming:
• Reclaiming childhood
• Reclaiming strong, grounded leaders
• Reclaiming the next generation
• Reclaiming health, wholeness, and abundance
• Reclaiming identity, purpose, and inheritance

A castle is a place of foundation, structure, and protection. It represents strength, heritage, and legacy. It stands firm — built to last — just as we desire to build lives, hearts, and minds that are deeply rooted in ABBA's Word and unshakable.

For our children, this space speaks without words. It reminds them that they are called to build, to lead with wisdom, to steward what they are given, and to walk in authority with humility and peace.
This venue mirrors what we believe for this generation:
a return to truth,
a return to order,
a return to beauty,
a return to purpose.

We believe this move marks more than a new location. It marks a restoration season — one where what was taken is returned, refined, and strengthened.

We are deeply grateful for the way everything has aligned, and we remain expectant for what ABBA is establishing here — not just for Arise, but for the children entrusted to us.

This is a place of return.
This is a place of peace.
This is a place where the next generation is being reclaimed.

A New Season for Arise Education Centre

We are filled with gratitude and excitement as we step into a brand-new season for Arise Education Centre.

After the flood that hit our school and the great losses that came with it, we knew—deep in our hearts—that nothing happens without purpose. We turned inward, chose to seek His face, and asked: What is it that You want to do through this?

And as always, when we seek Him, we find Him. We find answers.
What we sensed clearly was this: it was a reset.
A call to move.
A call to step into our next season.

During this very busy holiday period, we relocated the entire school to our new home — the Castle Venue in the Groenvlei area 🏰 — and we are so excited for what lies ahead.

Arise has always been about doing things differently. We are walking in the blueprint He has given us — one that allows children to thrive again, to become free thinkers, critical thinkers, entrepreneurs, and leaders once more.

This is the vision of our school, and it remains unchanged.
We have never felt called to become a big school. Arise is about purpose. We believe that the right children are led here for a reason, for such a time as this.

Our school is almost full, and we are already prayerfully planning Phase 2, which includes adding additional classrooms to accommodate new applications. This, too, is part of what lies ahead.

We are now based in the Groenvlei area, and we are deeply expectant for all that God has in store for Arise in this new year and new season.

Thank you to every parent, child, and supporter who has walked this journey with us.

The best is yet to come

Welcome to the next season of Arise.

Arise Education Centre was built with faith, obedience, and love

At Arise School, we believe education is more than books and tests.
It’s about nurturing the heart, guiding emotions, growing character, and walking closely with God.
Here, children are seen, known, and loved—just as they are.

We grow minds, tend hearts, and create space for children to learn at their own pace—surrounded by love, structure, and God’s presence.

This is education with eternal purpose.

Guess who just hatched at Arise? 🐣

The Arise family is growing — we’ve welcomed the cutest little mascovy ducks!

Our children get to learn by caring for chickens, ducks, and even a goose — because at Arise Education Centre, life skills are just as important as bookwork.

Here, kids don’t just study… they nurture, explore, and grow alongside creation itself!

Welcome to Arise Education Centre

At Arise, learning comes alive in the heart of the farm.

Here, children are given the freedom to play, move, and explore as part of their education. Our approach is not limited to books and classrooms — instead, we believe that life itself is the best classroom.

What makes Arise unique?

Farm-based learning: Kids connect with nature daily, discovering how creation itself teaches us.

Horses in education: Horses are not just animals on our farm; they are partners in growth, teaching children responsibility, empathy, and confidence.

Movement & play: We know children learn best when their bodies are engaged. Running, climbing, building, and creating are all part of our lessons.

School of life approach: Beyond academics, we focus on character, creativity, problem-solving, and community.

Individual attention: Every child is unique, and we nurture their strengths and needs with care and personal guidance.

At Arise Education Centre, we’re not raising children just to pass exams — we’re raising whole, thriving individuals who love to learn, love to create, and love life.
