ACADEMICS
Rigorous curricula coupled with teacher expertise provide a high-quality academic experience for scholars. Grade-level teachers work together closely with each other and with instructional coaches to ensure all scholars are held to high expectations.
ENRICHMENT
Core subjects are only one part of a scholar’s development. Classes such as dance, art, music, band, PE, Spanish, and digital literacy expand their skills as well. In addition to these enrichment classes, we offer various after-school clubs and interscholastic sports.
FAMILY ENGAGEMENT
We want you to be a part of our school community! Join us by volunteering, accessing your scholar’s grades through the Parent Portal, communicating with teachers via TalkingPoints, joining a tour, and more. At RISE, we believe partnerships with families are essential.
OPERATIONS
In addition to academics, we know efficient logistics are important to your family. Learn more about bus routes, our free breakfast and lunch program, uniform expectations, before and after-school care, and more.
