Our Mission

The mission of The RISE Schools is to provide a rigorous and holistic education that develops the minds and character of scholars to be catalysts for social change.

Our Vision

The RISE School scholars will have the capacity to maintain balance between competition and compassion to be catalysts for social change in their lives and in their communities.

The holistic model is accomplished by focusing on the following six pillars; 1) restorative discipline, 2) entrepreneurism, 3) ethics of care, 4) experiential learning, 5) culturally responsive teaching, and 6) social emotional wellness. This approach to whole-scholar development recognizes that sustained learning is achieved by integrating all aspects of the educational experience rather than compartmentalizing subjects, as is the practice in traditional public education. The holistic educational model also provides RISE scholars with exposure to self-actualization through entrepreneurism. Instilling entrepreneurial skills in young children has a significant impact on post secondary outcomes.
